That was pleasant! Quite rough, but with competent mechanics and charming character art. Good work! Congratulations on the submission!

Thank you for taking the time to play and leave feedback, I appreciate it!

That was a lot of fun! I thought the concept and gameplay were great, but I wished that your sprites were a little more readable and I had a little bit of trouble maintaining my vacuuming direction as I played. I still made my way through all of the levels and really enjoyed that last one :)

Thanks for making and sharing your game!

Developer

Thank you for playing and your feedback. I appreciate you!

The game feels really solid and it’s fun to vacuum everything up. I also like the sounds and music. Great job! I would maybe wish that when the character is vacuuming, the direction stays locked while moving — so I could run away from enemies but keep vacuuming at the s ame time.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Adding your suggestion to my post jam list of changes, thank you.

This was a pretty chill game and I thought it was cute! A nice, short and sweet experience.

Thank you for playing!

This was a really fun game and I wish there where more levels. :)

Overall I like the game, and beat it fairly quickly.  I will say I spent a good minuet doublechecking the last level for the elevator.  I would suggest adding a 'you won' screen after you cleaned the smiley face.  But overall it was sweet and short. 

(edit: I also LOVED the fact that the vacuum sounded like a guy talking in a gas mask. don't know if that was on purpose, but it works very well)

Thank you for playing, I’m glad you had fun, sorry about the final screen, I thought I should add a victory screen and laziness took over.

I enjoyed the melancholic music and chill vacuum mechanic. It passed the final boss of :)
I would have liked to clean a little bit faster (and avoid enemies faster too). Relaxing!

Developer (1 edit)

Thank you for playing! I agree that faster cleaning is essential in future updates.


I assume you mean movement speed when it comes to avoiding enemies, or were you thinking about maybe a dash or something?

Submitted

In fact, movement speed! Or being able to as an upgrade/reward

The graphics are simple but very cute. I think it has a lot of potential as a chill game, if you remove the damage and it's simply about walking through rooms cleaning things up

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Going full chill would probably make more sense. I was thinking about finding a way non health related to have the goo affect the player. 


Ran out of time brainstorming because I had to make other parts of the game.


I also have a few sprites I didn’t use, I have a scientist sprite that when they touch a goo would turn into the sludge monster and spread more goo. Garry would come in and turn them back into scientists.

It initially comes off as possibly a top-down action type of game, but quickly starts to feel like power wash simulator types of vibes: pretty calming and pleasantly slower paced.

I quite like the vacuum audio even if it doesn't sound particularly Gameboy in nature, lol.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing, the vacuum audio is 8 bit but I definitely agree it doesn’t have that retro feel to it. Maybe it’s the random pitch shift?

i cleaned the smiling room to the victory sound but no door opened. is it the end ?

i love the walk of the hero ! fun relaxing game ^^

Developer

Yes the smile room is the end, I thought about adding a text box pop up saying that it was the end so people wouldn’t think they were missing something. I should’ve done it.

Thank you for playing, sorry for the inconvenience.
