The idea of being stuck in a washing machine is really funny!

I totally loved the concept, really cute and original. It is for the moment just a simple puzzle and very short but I think it could grow into something more elaborate! Nice starting point :)

Ok, so I really like the art, a big thumbs up for that. The idea is fun and it ties in with the theme pretty well. Sadly I had a hard time figuring out what I was supposed to do and the game kept bugging out a couple of times, like the screen got flipped and I was flying "downwards". Overall not bad.

@baran @slimmerburger @ilcappottorosso @mrwahloh Thanks guys! Yes, if you know what to do, then this is very short game)

I really enjoyed your game! My favourite part was probably the artwork, and seeing all the clothes tumble around you as you try to fly.

I also really liked the mood in general. It was fun to be thrown into this chaotic situation with all the clothes flying about and be left to your own devices to figure out how you can possibly get out of this.

It's a fun short game.

The highlight "call to action" for item usage is a nice detail that greatly helped, I like it :)

I have one suggestion that is to add a bit of expression to the ladybug in the beginning (like shocked or scared) to add a bit of character for it, and boost the player's drive to save the little thing.

@avavt Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it!

In the beginning, I wanted to add two ladybugs to the game, a boy and a girl. One was left outside and the other was stuck in the washing machine. The 2nd ladybug must go through the whole machine before meeting his love again)

But, time was limited and, unfortunately, I didn't do what I planned.

Fun idea, I think you can do more with it since it was really short gameplay wise. Some more puzzle to get to the end. But i don't think many else have thought about a game idea revolving a ladybug trapped in a washingmachine :D

Cool game :) would be cool to see it abit more fleshed out

Ladybug solidarity! This is a really cute and original game, love your take on the theme. It was a bit hard to play, mostly a bunch of bugs that jeopardized the experience. For this reason though it helps that the game is fairly short, the highlighting of usable objects was a good touch.

Cool idea, I really felt for the poor little ladybug! The art looked really nice too. Unfortunately I got stuck soon after grabbing the safety pin and then suddenly I won?

BTW, it looks like you only have socks without pairs :grin:

def felt like i was trapped in a wash machine! Not sure what was going on, but I reached "The End". Cute concept, but hard to follow what was happening.

@joonamo @pixelgroover Thanks for playing and feedback! Yes, sometimes you can stuck between clothes, and the only way to free yourself is the next machine loop or you can just use your fly ability)

It's really short, but the art is really cool and the concept as well, I just wish you had more time to make more levels or make them more complicated. Well done.

Cute little game, it got a little disorientating when the screen would flip unexpectedly while i was trying to avoid clothing. Really like the art c:

Fun idea, nice graphics. Good package, but ended so quickly. Also I thought you could die if you were submerged for too long. Not that it would matter much because there is not much to lose :D
