Game of Drones is a Futurama match-three puzzle video game [2] developed by German-based video-game developer Wooga [1] and the second Futurama video game, after 2003's self-titled console game. It was announced on 8 July 2015. [3] The title was revealed on 23 November 2015. [1]

Plot

The game's story is told through a series of interactive comic book pages, which are unlocked by progressing further into the game.

In 3015 at the Planet Express headquarters, Professor Farnsworth reveals to the crew that he has invented delivery drones due to negative customer feedback. The professor then teaches them how to deliver the drones, which requires matching them up via colour (this is because they "tend to wander off unless they're in a group"), then sends them on a delivery to Luna Park. Meanwhile, Mom spots the drones and becomes suspicious, so she send out a MomCorp spy drone to investigate.

After the crew defeats the spy drone, Mom decides to initiate "Operation Unfair Competition", and sends out an army of box-carrying drones that work under a new program known as "Momazon Primo", which comes with "free shipping that you pay for". Realising that this could put Planet Express out-of-business, the professor decides that they'll compete by including food-grade pizzas with their deliveries. Whilst on the moon, the crew stop at the hydroponic farm at the request of Bender, who quickly tries to come up with an excuse for why he wants to go there. Once at the farm, Bender purchases illegal moon ferrets from the hydroponic farmer.

After making drone deliveries across the moon, the crew must battle Zapp Brannigan. Upon defeat, Zapp boards the Planet Express ship (whilst Bender desperately tries to hide his moon ferrets) and requests that they deliver him to the DOOP headquarters.
