So the level after you got the rocket launcher… it’s either I’m dumb, or it’s totally not telegraphed what you have to do to get the deflector killed
Like you can’t go over it, can’t shoot it, can’t dive thru some blocks or blow em up



Finished the game, very good. now i will do the hard mode



i have a record, the lowest death count of mine is 17 deaths, i won with only 17 deaths!



Nice job on making hard mode hard. I beat normal mode in 217 deaths (skill issue) but I literally cannot get past the "party" room in hard mode i have no life and am currently at 1254 deaths on the "party" room help



@a guy!
Oh, the party level is really hard on hard mode, but totally possible. Defeat one enemy at the time, and keep taking cover. All the Dolls respawn at the stage so you can kill all them for good if you do a slam there.



.. well it is actually normal mode but im enjoying myself, even if me trying to win normal mode with no deaths doesnt sound like so, but i just set goals for everything, i cant turn that that part of my brain off, yet with practice i can do it, aside from that, i am trying to finish off hard mode but im stuck on that 'virus' level, the one where Rookie's supervisor claimed it was a virus



my fingers are now constantly stuck being put on X and C before i realize im not playing the game, i then open it and get distracted, this game is addicting to me because its the only game that seems appealing to me, its fun



I love Rookie, he's just a silly guy, he loves rambling about random things, perhaps thats why i find him relatable



I got to the last level on hard mode with only fifty deaths so far, ill try winning the level and ill tell you how many deaths, i bet on hundred deaths



Im on one hundred deaths and i have not finished the game, i am playing it during my current starvation, ill take a break and ask mom for food



@Eclipse_Wood2 Me and the other devs are super happy to hear that you are enjoying the game. Don't neglect your health over it though!



I have only one death! also me neglecting my health has nothing to do with the game, theres a very complicated reason and its not my intention to neglect it..



I FINISHED THE HARD MODE WITH 201 DEATHS.. also this game is pretty easy with practice, but 10/10 for how many objectives i can create for myself to be stimulated, i have a list
- Finish Normal mode (Done)
- Finish Hard mode (DONE!)
- Finish the normal mode with zero deaths (in progress)
- Finish hard mode with the least amount of deaths i can manage (not started)
- ... no idea, can anyone give me challenges?? Im desperate to keep playing and without objectives ill get bored of it and this games too awesome to deserve to be boring



@Eclipse_Wood2 I have a challenge suggestion; how long can you stay alive in the hard mode second phase of the boss? idk, just the first thing that came to mind lol



@Eclipse_Wood2 we are currently working on a sequel but it will take us a long time to finish it. Check @MDProjects_dev on twitter.



@autopawn Good luck, hope you can make this sequal even more addicting, also now i got finished with 89 deaths in hard mode, i also check itch.io for the game from time to time, thats also where i found other browser games



I finished the normal mode with zero deaths! Also my hard mode challenge, i got 19 deaths



As a murder drones fan, from the bottom of my heart: THIS IS PEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAK



@Eclipse_Wood2 Hey! I forgot to mention that one of the other devs made a spin-off with "secret" levels.
https://crjonch.itch.io/mdvt-otr
Be careful though, the last level is extremely difficult, you shouldn't feel bad for giving up on it.



@ProHats69 Hello, that is a bit of a general question because all the characters in the game could be called "drones".
But the enemies that take some time to figure out how to kill are:
- Thad drones (those that deflect missiles): for these you have to shoot a rocket just above their heads and detonate it above or behind them. You detonate a rocket by pressing the same key you pressed to launch it while it is in flight.
- Doll drones (those that throw knives): for these a rocket explosion just stuns them. To kill them, once you have stunned them, you have to gain enough height and press down to smash them with a dive attack. They respawn a couple of times though.
Does this information help?



im talking about doll, but her intro requires 9 drones but I can only find 6, is there something I'm missing?



@ProHats69 I see. There 7 enemies on that level but one of them is a doll, and doll has 3 lives, she respawns after being killed, so that makes a total of 9.
As I mentioned above, the rockets just stun her. To kill her you have to stun her first, and then get high enough and press down to dive and stamp her.



OMG HI I JUST TRIED THE SPIN-OFF AND IM STRUGGLING SO MUCH CAUSE NOW ITS NOT ABOUT STRATEGIES, ITS ABOUT SKILL AND IM LOVING THE CHALLENGE OF IT



Ahem, sorry about that i get really excited about Murder drones stuff and i missed this game and the two sillies



The level where theres just a bunch of death blocks and one target, its really annoying cause i cant cheat my way out of it so i have to depend on luck cause its really difficult to return to the exit after shooting the target



@Eclipse_Wood2 Oh hi! Sorry it took me long to reply. Yeah, the spinoff is truly a test of skill, specially the last level, only two other devs have been able to complete it, not me :(
So don't feel bad if you want to, or did, stop at some point.
