The Last Drone
Puzzle platformer about a boy and his mechanical friend. Explore the map, find the Drone and collect all 22 Hyper Cubes!
About the game
This is an early MVP for the game I am currently developing. I have plans to extend it to a metroidvania with different abilitites and combat, but right now game has just one item and a lot of puzzles.
First playthrough can take up to 60-90 minutes. There is no saving currently, so keep that in mind. If you ever feel stuck, just move to different area and comeback later. As soon as you find Drone all areas are solvable, just remember to check adjacent rooms.
I will be very thankful if you provide some feedback and share your ideas.
Controls
I want to add ability to change mappings, but for now please use the following:
Keyboard:
WASD to Move
Space to Jump
E to Interact
LMB/Shift to use Drone
ESC or M to open Menu and Map
Gamepad:
Left Stick to Move
A/Cross to Jump
Left Trigger to Interact
X/Square to use Drone
Start to open Menu and Map
In case you encounter some unknown bug, you can teleport player to a starting area or bump him several tiles up via settings menu. Hopefully this won't be needed, since I fixed all of the bugs I could find via 3 playtests.

Awesome game!
I was able to collect all the cubes and had some great “aha!” moments. The puzzles are clever and diverse making good pacing.
Fire climb is super hard - I've spend some time there :D
Keep it up! 🚀
Thank you!
Glad you’ve enjoyed it.
well this is confusing !!! stuck in the bottom section after getting the drone , in the area with the big section of water and cant seem to get back to the start ...
also the game makes my laptop run really hot !
Hey, thank you for playing. I am sorry to hear that.
If you got stuck right besides the room with the Drone - you can just walk to the right side. If you mean big section of water where the right side is missing wall - this is one of the tougher puzzles. But you can skip it too by getting up and climbing the wall on the right side using drone. Attach it, jump on it and then you can wall climb by jumping and double clicking the drone button. I didn't want to make a tutorial for this bit so that players can get "a-ha' moment, but maybe I should reconsider.
I will look into optimization in nearest future so that it would be less demanding on the PC.
I've pushed an update that should help with performance on laptops.
