You Shall Not Deliver. by makuck95

[raw]
made by makuck95 for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Welcome on the border, where the packages are transported by drones. You are one of the members of an elite squad whose job is to ensure no contraband gets across the border. Use your satellite armed with a laser cannon to destroy illegal drones and confiscate the contraband, catching it in mid-air with your mechanical arm. Be careful though, there are also legitimate medical transport drones flying across this border, which need to stay safe.

Impressive game! Perfect amount of challenge to control the laser and arm at the same time. I like the added touch of the upgrades. Great job!

Loved de design, audio environnement and gameplay. But I have the feeling that the game was too hard too early so I was a bit frustrated :/
Overall, great game !

This game was a very interesting take on the theme for this jam, it's really great and very difficult, on day 5 I found it really hard to keep track of all the drones while avoiding the medical drones. The graphics are top tier and so is the sound. Overall this game is really great and I had no issues!

Nice work! Great art and style. I got the hang of it after a few goes and was fun yet still challenging.

I LOVE THIS!!! Especially the ending! It's very cool & fun. I like that your game is very simple, smooth and very comfortable to play!!! Also, it's great that you have upgrades - they make this game even more interesting tio play
Also, i think it would be cool if there was a catching rating in the end of the day!

That remind missile command ! Maybe is that one of the inspiration, but it's adapted to the theme ! The graphics are very good, animation too. There is a also tutorial to explain the game mechanics. That's a great job !

I love the art on the screenshots but the webgl game on itch.io crushes on me and I use Mac so I cannot launch .exe files (

Great art and music loop, sometimes damage upgrade seems to be not working, or maybe too weak, but its a great game anyway!

Great to have a tutorial (most games here just tell you the controls). Although the game itself is very challenging.

I'd describe the gameplay as... balanced. Not in the sense of game balance, but in the sense of control - having to control two things, each with one hand, feels really good to manage. On the other hand, I did find that the laser was a bit weak, and more often than not I preferred to stay in the middle of the screen instead of moving around with the laser. There's room for improvement, but overall, I liked the game.

Such an amazing looking game! Also I gotta say, interesting choice of title.. the opposite of this jam's theme hehe!

First of all I loved the title.
The game was also very nice, and especially I really liked the camera movement when starting the game.
the gameplay was really good and the music fitted the game very nicely.
Well done!

This is really cool! Interesting mechanic having to control both the laser and the arm, and the upgrades made it even better. It was quite challenging too!

Great upgrade system, nice idea for the mechanic and great execution. Some variance in the drone speed might be nice

I enjoyed the multi-tasking aspect of the game, it made it really fun!

There's a lot to this. Definitely not something you can play with a trackpad. I felt like the laser was satisfying and once I started getting upgrades, I had a good time. I kept dropping packages though, which was frustrating. Awesome game. Plus you used Godot. :)

Simple but well-done. I liked the art style, very clean. The multitasking aspect is neat. Nice work!

I found the difficulty curve to start out a bit too steep, the game is really hard at the beggining, also, I may have found a bug:
![Screenshot 2023-05-04 180739.png](///raw/486/95/z/5b515.png)
Is it really a bug or was the game supposed to end at day 7?

Nice little game, but I cannot recommend to play it with the touchpad. :smile: But definitely interesting to have these two aspects to control.

@icarusdev2 umm omm it is a bug :c sorry I think we made a mistake when you destroy 100% of drones. In game we have 10 level and in ten level player see gratulation screen. I will sit after job and debug it.

@masterproject Thanks for your feedback. I think I know what happened, we don't add information about the drones hp increased on some levels, it is probably 5 and 8 level. Sorry for that

@wadlo and @mar-zockmeister it didn't even occur to us that you can play with a touchpad :D Yeah the game is better for mouse, but it is valuable information with we should have in mind in the next production :) Thanks for your feedbacks

Really nice game. For a first try it is a bit hard in difficulty and so I would have loved it to be more responsive and less cooldown, but apart of that really nice.

Very nice game! Nice visuals, nice soundtrack, tutorial, overall a nicely polished game!

A few weird behaviors I encountered though:
* The arm won't reach some packages with a specific angle, and it seems that no upgrade will fix this
* Sometimes the space button will get stock on, especially whrn a menu opens and the spacebar is released; this causes the laser to overheat and can make the player lose sometimes

Overall congrats!

Nice game! I know it was already said, but the difficulty curve could be a little more friendly. It is hard to get used to the mechanic and enjoy the game in the beginning. Congrats!

Really well polished - especially having a proper tutorial in there!

Tricky mechanics to master but it's good fun trying to focus on taking down the drones while also grabbing what they're dropping - a bit of a patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time type challenge!
