Hi all, thanks for all the great feedback so far! Here is a bit more context: I (also go by wavy) made this game while taking a break from my work project. It was inspired by the old-school lunar lander games as well as drone racing. I wanted to build something that illustrates the difficulty of drone flight. It was made in p5.js over the course of several weekends. I never really intended on publishing it until I showed it to a few friends who kept on encouraging me. I'm glad some of you are enjoying it!

I think you nailed this part 100%. I suck in the very same way I did with my first - and only - real life drone I bought.

Many thanks for publishing it, think about releasing it as open source my daughter had a blast modifying the source code. Adding a little sister mode making it almost impossible to beat.
Hi again, for those interested the source code is now available at https://codeberg.org/wavy/rocket-drone
