Loved this! The art is so clean, and the little additions like movement/sound effects when stuff is clicked is great quality. I do wish there was some way to pick which laundry to put into the machines - maybe if it came in in waves rather than just three more spawning in once the current three were in the machines; only because sometimes I'd have 10 seconds left and a bunch of fish and trousers would spawn and I'd know I'd lost at that point ^^;; Really though, this was a lot of fun and super underrated!

This is addictive! This had a really satisfying engine-building system. There is some luck to it, but it seems like most runs can still be reasonably successful if you adapt to the options you're given. At first the wisps didn't feel worth it, but once I got a good run with a lot of machines I realized I never would have kept up otherwise lol. I like the washing machine spin cycle and the world exploding consequence for the theme. The music set a good vibe for the game and the dings from the washers were a good fit. I really enjoyed this.
If I had to nitpick, a couple rounds I accidentally bought washing machines and forgot to place them before going on to the next round and then they were just gone. That's definitely user error, but could be worth considering a check for that and popping up some kind of "are you sure?" message as a protect the player from themself kind of thing.
I like it! UI has good feels to it. Game loop is fun! Wisps are cute! Though, I wish they would they return the laundry for me. I want to keep playing until I manage to fill the screen with laundry machines!
One of the cutests games I've seen for this jam!
The art is super nice, the UI design feels super satisfying and the gameplay loop is rather addicting for how simple it is
Really nice visuals, and I liked the small animations when hovering over the UI. Nice game!
Best game I played this jam so far, it has a good potential to become a full game. Well done!
