The gameplay mechanics in this game are so intuitive! It's like the controls become an extension of your own instincts. Plus, the art style adds a unique flair that keeps you engaged throughout. Definitely a gem worth exploring!

One of the top 2 funniest games I've played all jam! The ease of controls was good, I think running a little faster while not sweeping or actively attacking could add a little more strategy. The concept of the game is great, original, and well executed. I especially liked the wizards' lisp in the voice acting, it added a touch of pomp to their characters making me look forward to evicting them.

I really love the music.

It is extremely satisfying to beat the annoying wizards and clean their mess with a single broomstick! Good job!

Ha! Super silly game and those wizards sure like to harass service workers! I love this unique take on the theme and beating those wizards with my broom! Well done!

The concept is funny and the effect sweeping has on the garbage is great. The thing that bugs me is the lack of a sprint button, or any similar mechanic. It feels like you don't have a chance at keeping on top of the mess and instead are stuck clearing one side then the other. If you had another movement option it would feel more like you have a chance instead of doing damage control. That might be what you wanted the game to be, but that's just my thought. Overall feels great getting a chance to hit problem customers with something.

Cute game, I liked the mood and graphics the best. Little too simple gameplay though, I think having an upgrade system between levels would've made it more replayable and engaging.

Not sure how you're supposed to 100% clean the floor but I certainly tried. Those dang wizards and all their tomfoolery has been burned into my psyche. Not sure how I will avoid therapy on Shcmendy's hourly wages. Fun little game for the jam, nice job!

Loved this one! The art, sound, and gameplay are cool, and everything integrates smoothly, making it very fluid to play! It's like a mixed pixel style. I love chasing wizards with a broom 🙃
