How did you use AI?
Claude wrote the code, designed the levels, and was involved in the design process. He gave option, I picked them. I did some QA, but this is a Claude game.

How does your game fit the restriction?
Space to start, but other than that, only movement keys.

Cool game! I like the art style and the strategic movement, I enjoyed the feeling of the roomba moving much faster and learning how it moves to avoid it, and making sure i have enough time to nap, haha! Nice variety of maps as well, very well done! I can imagine it with subtle patting/walking/sleeping sounds, maybe getting louder as the roomba is closer, and dark music to fit the theme, nice work!

The theme is very well done and entertaining

Easier to understand and play than the herding cats game. Funny concept.

This was more of a game than your other submission, but still not much there.  The walk into the wall to nap was a strange mechanic. My playthrough:

Thanks for engaging with the metaphor.

I see that you are a connoisseur of vintage games.

Haha, guilty as charged! 

There's something about those old games that modern ones just can't quite replicate. Love seeing that spirit brought back to life

Simple gameplay and controls with looping Roomba movement.
