Drone Swarm Commander

Drone Swarm Commander

My entry for the GMTK game jam 2021.

Theme: Joined Together

You play as a crash landed drone swarm commander, who has to clear out the insurgents that shot him down. To increase your firepower you can join up with the drones you were supposed to command. Sadly they seemed to be damaged by the crash and can only mirror you, their commander.

  • I am not sure what exactly is causing this. My current assumption is a issue with godot itself. Although only a bad craftsman blames his tools :P
