- The lid stands up behind the pile, marking each cache from a distance.
Earlier update: Resupply Drops (2026-10-10)

@makeriffic · loved it · 2026-10-10 · played 14 min · 1 heart: “I love how this trains me to be a counter bomb drone operator, it feels like I'm going to the frontline somewhere lol. What a fun experience. I like the upgrades that can be found during the game, but I think permanent upgrades would be way better.”
- @drjest (maker) replied 2026-10-10: “TY! There are perma upgrades in the workshop.”

@larrielabs · loved it · 2026-10-08 · played 11 min · 1 heart: “I enjoyed the game so much! 🎯 I love that we can zoom in with the scope by pressing Shift. I’m wondering if we’ll get temporary power-up drops soon, cuz that would be epic! I’m excited to survive more waves and see how far I can go! 💥”
- @drjest (maker) replied 2026-10-08: “The power ups are littered around. Multi shot, protector drone, auto aim, double speed, auto relaods. more to come!”
@sunraku · loved it · 2026-10-08 · played 19 min · 1 heart: “I like this game bro! I thought at first "why the camera is not panning as I move the mouse?" So it was different control cause I need to used the arrow buttons. The battle feels great. I was having difficulty at first but yeah coping with it.”
- @drjest (maker) replied 2026-10-08: “OH will add mouse controls! Also works great with a xbox/ps5 controller”
