Gameplay Instructions

• Transactions are accomplished by hovering the drone near a location for a few seconds.
• After each successful transaction, the player is prompted with their next delivery destination.
• Piloting with a purpose for hours decades of fun!

Inspiration

• Flying drones around the same room/office/house starts to loose it’s appeal.
• Create a game with simple goals to keep same-room flight interesting.
• Teaches basic pilot skills like controlled hovering.
• Rewards advanced pilot skills like quickly punching to points of interest.
• Social component: since each location requires a phone, friends get together to set up a play field and compare runs.
