About

Drone Dispatch

Features
Read full description

Drone Dispatch is a fast-paced line-drawing game where you manage a fleet of delivery drones. Each drone is color-coded to a building type — draw a flight path from the drone to its matching building to score a delivery. But be careful: if two drones collide, it's game over. HOW TO PLAY Drones spawn from the edges of the map. Green drones go to green houses, red drones to red apartments, yellow drones to yellow warehouses. Tap a drone, draw a path to its matching building, and watch it fly. Route carefully — if any two drones collide, the game ends instantly. THREE DRONE TYPES - Standard (green) — moderate speed, delivers to houses, 100 points - Express (red) — fast, delivers to apartments, 150 points - Heavy (yellow) — slow, delivers to warehouses, 75 points FIVE UNIQUE MAPS - Suburbs — Open layout, learn the basics - Downtown — No-fly zones around skyscrapers block your paths - Airport Zone — Commercial jets fly fixed lanes, drone-jet collision ends the game - Storm Front — Lightning randomly disables drones for 2.5 seconds - Night Shift — Fog of war limits visibility around drones and buildings THREE GAME MODES - Classic — Endless survival, drones spawn faster over time - Campaign — 5 waves per map, earn 1-3 stars based on delivery accuracy - Rush Hour — 90-second time attack, deliver as many as you can COMBOS AND BONUSES Build combo multipliers (up to 5x) with consecutive deliveries. Near-miss bonuses for close calls. Speed bonuses for fast deliveries under 4 seconds. CAMPAIGN PROGRESSION Clear all 5 waves to complete each map.
