Signal Fading by Animaster

A small game about a delivery drone in a world held together by signal. You fly between areas, pick up packages with a hook, and deliver them to their destinations. Along the way, you can install batteries into antennas to unlock new zones and routes. Most batteries need to be bought with money earned from deliveries, but a few can be found while exploring if you keep an eye out.
Note: due to an export issue, the noise overlay isn’t working. When flying outside antenna coverage, the only indicator is the signal icon on the bottom panel. Also, your battery drains 10× faster while you’re out of range.
UPD: The Web version has been updated with a fix for the noise overlay and a few small UI improvements. These issues were actually present in the original build but only worked correctly inside Unity during testing, and broke during export.
I also added a killbox at the bottom of the level to prevent potential softlocks — previously, certain situations could leave you stuck. This doesn’t change the gameplay, it just makes it possible to recover from errors and restart if needed.
The original version will remain available as the desktop build.
There’s no ending — it’s meant to be played as a small sandbox focused on flying and delivering at your own pace.
Controls are simple: * WASD — movement, * Space — grab a package with the hook, * Mouse — navigate menus and interface.
Fly carefully, don’t lose your cargo, and restore the signal step by step.

In general, we are waiting for the updated version.
Well done!
It feels like there is a well thought-out system behind everything, but I probably needed more time to figure it out. I will definitely come back and try again when I have more time!
