I can't seem to max out gun speed even if I have the money. And to the others complaining about the difficulty get gud.
Reviews for "Drones"
This is cool game with a dope aesthetic but i use a laptop like most peeps in the comments and the trackpad is frustrating and so many games on here are no longer platformer and more point-and-clicks/shoot. What ever happened to WASD???

Drone movements were designed with a dual stick gamepad in mind.
Try with that. You will find an extremely better and more satisfying experience.
this is one of those really rare games. this could be on steam.
First off, best use of FlxParticle I've seen this jam period. Nerdy thing to say but man that water splash is spicy. I'd only suggest you add a bit more punch to when a drone dies, it feels good with the laser but with the gun it just feels weak and not impactful, and overall may be a bit confusing when a drone actually is dead (especially if they collide with eachother.)
This game is impressive but it lacks an ultimate goal. Achievements or a score counter or something would go a long way to making this game really mesh. Additionally, I can't help but feel there's gonna be tons of people who are gonna give this one a bad score just because they didn't know about the laser. Why is that not the default weapon, really? It's so very satisfying, I'd honeslty consider dropping the gun from the game entirely because the laser is really just that fun to play with.
Honestly, I think you should keep working on this. It has a lot of potential for a full release. Give it some unlockable skins, get some collaborators on a small retro OST, you really could go all the way with something like this.

Thank you, really appreciate.
Actually, laser was the first and only weapon I had in mind, but I then came up with a machinegun to shoot enemies during laser cooldown. It was easier to shoot with the gun and I found myself switching easily from one to the other when needed. So I chose the easiest weapon to be the default one.
I totally agree with the rest of the criticisms. It is more of a concept than a real game and I plan to update it to a stronger and more defined state.
the graphics are beautiful that's why I love it
