Game description is in the Screenshot!

This is the first time I participated in a game jam. Because of that, time got a real problem and I had to cut many features. Even sound did not make it into the game. Anyway, I hope you have fun with it...(there may be still bugs here and there)

Tools used: - Blender for the character - Godot as game engine - Krita, Piskel and Gimp as drawing programs

Note: There are Linux and OSX builds available on itch.io, but they are untested.

Bug-fix update 14.08.18 - 17:52: - Some level fixes to make some parts playable - Fixed the RESTART button - Fixed some buggy collision meshes The updated Version is the version with "FIXED-1.1-". The original version is also still available!

Nice work! I like your take on the theme, which made the gameplay very interesting. I did like the humor of the ratings as well. I would have liked a little more polish on the vacuum cleaner. It didn't seem to have a very large range of influence, and I spent a good amount of time struggling to pick folders up. Maybe make it easier to pick folders up but make the camera scroll faster. All in all, nice job!

Clever! The vacuum cleaner was a little hard to manage and the file names overlapped with each other making it difficult to read the name of the files, and that made the game a little bit frustrating. But I do enjoy what you've done with the theme, and I always love seeing games made in Godot! Good job man!

Nice game, I hope to see more updates and improvments sooner.
If you don't bother take a look at our game when we focused on Graphics and visuals and see the results that we got:

Pretty good for the first game. There are a couple of quirks, like when in some places there's not enough space to go through the level and also I would like it to fit the theme more in terms of gameplay, but overall - quite OK!

Cool entry! The vacuum cleaning mechanic felt a bit clunky, so did the movement controls. Could also be a level design issue as I found myself trying to squeeze through multiple holes at times. Aside from those issues, it's quite the original idea and could be expanded into a much more enjoyable experience, great job! ^_^

Good use of 3D graphics and animation in an otherwise 2D game. Seeing the character actually turn around to face the other direction and physically pull out a vacuum cleaner to clean up files makes the game more interesting to look at. Gameplay-wise, it seems impossible to do anything useful with any cluster of more than 2 folders because of the way the text overlaps when you scan their names, and with how finicky the vacuuming mechanic seems to be. You need to be at a very particular range to clean up folders. If you're too close, it doesn't get sucked in. I did have a bit of a laugh at the end-of-game review comments, though, so humor points for that.
