Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to his Death by dom2d
Based on an article on the Onion of the same name exaggerating the rate at which window washers die, our game sends you, with a jetpack, to save these poor cleaners from a horrible death. Read it, it'll explain how we're following the theme! (Plus the ropes take 10 seconds to break :P )
Controls:
Fly around with WASD or the Arrow keys.
How to Play:
Heal ropes by flying over them, kick birds and save falling cleaners!
In Hardcore mode, the game is over at first death.
In Chaos mode, a death meter fills up with each dude splashed on the ground - don't let it fill up completely and try to clean 100% of the building!
PRO TIPS:
- You can bounce off the edges of the screen, left, right, bottom and top. Use this technique to keep your momentum when switching directions!
- Some low-flying birds aren't a menace, don't waste time kicking them... unless you really just want to kick ALL THE BIRDS!
- You can heal two ropes at a time if you position yourself right in between the two!

Make me laugh a lot!
Excellent work! 5/5 in all! =)
My only complaint is that it was a bit sluggish on my computer. Super fun. Needs a high score table!
I really like the dynamic of the game, you always have something to do and it's always possible.
I guess it's what is called a great game design.
The sprites were da best. seriously like they suit the mood so well. I had way too much fun playing this. One of my favorites for sure.

It feels like a really complete package, all parts complimenting each other, so cool
As chaos mode wore on, it almost seemed like a good idea to let the ropes wear out and just save the falling window washers. I never had to to hang out in one spot and heal the ropes.
Great great job dudes ;)
Really polished in all categories. Great job!!
