The art style is so insanely silly, it's wonderful. I feel like it would sit perfectly among Konami's library of old, weird shmups they used to make, like they were so proud to show off the PS2's graphics in the launch year they made this. And the weirdness is perfectly at home in the genre too, excellent choice for the idea. I had a stupid smile on the whole time, well done.

This was super cool, I was really surprised when I got to pick an upgrade after losing. Really enjoyed the cut scene and visuals. Super charming project

What a wild artstyle, reminds me of Hylics. I'd love to see this expanded into a bigger project!

Love the art style and gameplay! Very reminiscent of cuphead airplane levels. I would have loved to see more slickness incorporated into the game mechanics themselves, but still, great job!

Using greenscreens to animate your sprites is such a cool idea!! Did you rotoscope the collision meshes ?

This game is so creative and atmospheric, I can't believe it but you actually made washing dishes fun

Thanks! The boss was made using a video stream that changes out videos playing. The hit detection checks for pixel color at the position of the object in relation to the video pixel at the same position to determine a hit. So the boss shape and attack patterns can get as crazy as you want to make them!

Having just cleaned my kitchen prior to sitting down to play, I resonated with the scrubber's quest to fulfill their oath.

The story. The graphics. The music. The theme. It brought one soapy tear to my eye. 10/10

Fun and great presentation! Love the use of everyday objects as the art style

This is like one of those old I spy books if it was a game.
The level music sounds gritty and perfect for a filth vanquishing sponge! Small roguelike elements that let you upgrade so you don't run into a difficulty wall. Some of the hit boxes are a bit out of place but I understand those are hard to make for oddly shaped objects.
Overall short fun game :3

Love the style of all of the objects that you've gone for it works really well!! The music in the dark area with the text is super pretty made me feel emotional over sponges >_<

This goes hard as fuck

Absolutely love the style, mixed media is always a treat to look at

My only criticisms about the gameplay are that the upgrade options seem to be a little one-sided (Faster regen makes the game a lot easier), and it's a little difficult to determine when I've actually completed the objective

Beyond that, it looks great, plays well and it's a lovely way to spend a few minutes.
