HOW TO PLAY 🎮

You need to clean all floor in rooms. Robot will help you with that! Robot_down.png

ld47.1.gif

Robot vacuum cleaner is moving forward until he is doesn't blocked. He can push small lamps and trash cans. If he is stucked he will turn left and try to go foward

You can push robot and small ogjects with fan (by clicking on it) or by using chest of drawers.

Great idea and usage of the theme. I love puzzle games, played it through! Game seems nicely polished, the only thing i missed was some chilly music.
As a tip for other players: playing at 5x speed won't work all the time ;) at least I didn't make it

Cool puzzle game concept. Art and music fits perfectly. Though drawers and other interactable still play sound even tho sounds/music is muted. Overall a really nice game. Congratz

Very fun! I wanted to keep going after the end! Also, I kept it on 2x speed the whole time and that felt right to me.

Really nice game! Short and sweet, but not *too* short. Starts out deceptively easy, but the last level takes some real thought.

The graphics are clean, coherent, and cozy.

The only critique I have is that it took me a bit to figure out how the fans worked. Maybe a visual indication of what they were doing, like a wind effect, would help.

Overall, really nice. Great work.

This was fun! The graphics give off a very homely vibe. And the idea of a floor cleaning game is quite fun. It's very satisfying to get every inch of floor. All I'd say is that an in-game tutorial would benefit a lot, since I wound up skimming over the bit about pushing objects with drawers and ended up confused for a few minutes. 🙃 But I guess that's mostly my fault. Overall really good! Would love to see more levels added after ludum.

The feel and look of the game is really good and nice audio design! The puzzles were well made and clever level design! I wish there was some visual feedback to when the fan in on (some wind or dust), but overall a well made game!

had fun playing it, got to the end and left me wanting for more! Good Job and all the best!

Good job, I felt there was a nice progression to the levels. I had to work out how to move the cleaning robot with the various items, which took a bit of thought. Nice use of the theme.

Very creative. Solid game all around. The levels were each interesting with new ideas to puzzle through.

Clever gameplay, cute graphics and nice choice of music!

Certain interactions felt a bit hard to time correctly, like activating the fan - might be good with some indication on the tile it pushes for the duration it's active to help the player learn the timing.

Bravo, one of my favourite games this jam! The graphics are rock solid, polished and beautiful, the concept is creative and adorable (I imagine it as a "haunted"/sentient house just wanting to be clean), the UI is clean and useful, and the puzzle levels are well thought out but not too complicated. Hats off!
