Drone Delivery
Fly a parcel up an apartment block and land it on the right balcony. The drone moves by leaning, keeps every bit of momentum you give it, and cannot stop just because you let go.
About This Game
A quadcopter does not steer. It leans. Tilt it forward and it accelerates forward, and it keeps accelerating for as long as it stays tilted. Level it out and it does not stop — it coasts, slowly bleeding speed to drag, until you tilt it back the other way and actively push against the momentum you built.
Almost nobody has intuition for this, because almost nothing else works this way. Cars stop when you brake. Characters in games stop when you release the key. A drone carries on and gently ruins your afternoon. Drone Delivery is twelve stages of learning to lean back before you arrive.
The controls are the real Mode 2 layout from actual transmitters: left stick for climb, descent and yaw; right stick for tilt. Twelve stages add gates, washing lines strung between buildings, crosswind that pushes you off the face of the block, night flying with a single downward lamp, rain, a draining battery, and finally manual throttle, where the flight controller stops holding your height for you.
The One Thing That Matters
Every new player makes the same mistake: they tilt toward the balcony, watch themselves approach, and start levelling out when they get close. By then it is far too late. The drone is still carrying several metres per second and it sails straight past.
The fix is unintuitive and, once you have it, permanent: start braking at roughly half the distance. Tilt back hard, let the drone arrive already slow, then make the last metre with tiny corrections. Watch the SPD readout, not the building.
How Scoring Works
| Component | Effect |
|---|---|
| Base | 1000 points for a completed delivery |
| Touchdown | Up to +400, from how centred, level and gentle the landing is |
| Par time | +18 per second under par, −10 per second over |
| Battery left | +2 per percent remaining, up to +150 |
| No knocks | +150 bonus for an untouched airframe |
| Knock | −80 each |
| Crash | −250 each |
Stars follow the total: 1600+ earns three, 1150 earns two, 700 earns one. A hard arrival that technically lands still completes the stage — it just scores like what it was.
How To Fly
- On a phone: two thumbsticks. Left is climb, descent and yaw. Right tilts the drone.
- On a computer: W S climb and descend, A D yaw, ↑ ↓ ← → tilt, C camera, M mute, R restart.
- The circle on screen tracks the delivery pad, with its distance. It goes dashed when the pad is behind you.
- The dial at the top is an attitude indicator. When it is level, you are not accelerating sideways.
- Land gently, level and inside the pad, then hold still for a moment to release the parcel.
Tips For A Clean Delivery
- Climb first, then translate. Trying to do both at once is how people meet balconies.
- Small inputs. Full tilt is almost never right — it builds speed you then have to spend time killing.
- In crosswind, hold a permanent slight lean into the wind. If you level out, you drift.
- Approach the balcony from directly outside it, not diagonally. A diagonal approach needs you to kill two axes of momentum at once.
- On manual throttle stages, add power as you tilt, not after you notice you are sinking.
Why This Exists
Drone delivery keeps being announced as an imminent fact of life, usually in a video where the aircraft moves like a cursor — straight lines, right-angle turns, crisp stops. Actual multirotors do none of that. They lean, they drift, they fight wind, and they land slowly because landing quickly is called crashing.
This is a small argument in favour of respecting the physics. Fly it for ten minutes and the next promotional video will look different to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Drone Delivery?
Drone Delivery is a free browser game about flying a delivery quadcopter up an apartment block and landing a parcel on the correct balcony. It uses a proper flight model, so the drone moves by tilting, keeps its momentum, and has to be leaned the other way to slow down.
Why can the drone not just stop?
Because a quadcopter has no brakes. It only goes where it leans, so the only way to kill speed is to tilt back the opposite way and wait for drag and thrust to cancel the momentum you already built. Learning to lean back before you arrive is the entire skill of the game.
What are the two sticks?
They are the standard Mode 2 layout used by most real transmitters. The left stick handles climb, descent and yaw; the right stick tilts the drone forward, back and sideways. On a keyboard, W and S climb and descend, A and D yaw, and the arrow keys tilt.
What does manual throttle mode change?
Normally the flight controller holds your height for you and adds thrust automatically as you tilt. In manual throttle stages that help is switched off, so tilting makes you sink and you have to feed in power yourself to stay level. It is how the drone would really behave without a stabiliser.
How do I land the parcel?
Get over the marked pad on the balcony, then come down slowly and level. Touching down inside the pad while gently descending and nearly still gives a clean delivery. Arriving fast, tilted or off-centre still counts, but scores much less and may cost you a rotor.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. It works on modern mobile browsers including Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and the twin sticks are designed for thumbs. Turning your phone to landscape gives you a much better view of the building face.
