RecoDeli

A physics-based puzzle game, where you’re programming a robot in space!

Some very special golden packages were lost somewhere in the vacuum of space. Your job, as a recovery robot operator, is to deliver the recovery robot to the package, so it can be recovered. However, be careful, as there are many obstacles on your way!

In order to operate the robot, you have to precisely tweak its instructions and parameters, so it takes correct path to its goal. Even the smallest deviation can matter. But fear not! The advancements in technology allowed us to manipulate the time itself, so you can fine-tune the perfect set of instructions across multiple attempts!

Controls and instructions

• Use your mouse to navigate through the interface.
• Select a task of your choice in the TASKS menu and press START TASK to begin the simulation.
• Use dragging and scrolling in a live drone view in order to control the camera.
• Use the “+ADD” button in the Instruction Editor in order to add a new instruction to the list.
• You can edit the parameter of the instruction by clicking the text field next to it (the number) and typing a new one.
• Instructions can be moved by dragging and dropping, as well as removed by selecting and pressing the delete button.
• Playing and stopping the instruction execution is done by the button at the bottom of the Instruction Editor.
• Timescale can be manipulated through the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the Instruction Editor.
• Your goal is to guide an orange robot to the yellow glowing box.

Full game post-mortem

Shortly after the release of Ludum Dare version of the game, I've decided to embark on a journey to develop this project into a finished feature-packed game with lots of levels, new gimmicks and story. Unfortunately, as the time went on, I lost faith in this game, and with it went my motivation to work on it. Maybe one day I will come back to the greatest space drone package delivery game on a market, but for now I've put the project on hold. On the bright side, it did allow me to learn more about tech that I didn't know much about before (actually I did spend more time messing with it than developing the actual game lol).

If you have time will you do a version of the leaderboard that stimulates, to prevent cheaters from ruining the fun for everyone ?
