Really cool game!

Try mine, http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-31/?action=preview&uid=44154

Lol what a twist, wash ur tshirts = profit!

I got a Hybrid Cat in my lint trap :) Very cool little game

andrewkennedy 2014-12-10 02:41

Clever idea, but the game sort of locked up for me. I clicked on the phone and then opened a washer and both UIs were open. Then I could never leave the phone screen.

Good game! My favourite feature was the lint trap thought that was pretty cool! Overall solid effort, good entry!

Funny commentary on social gaming.

spacedoubt 2014-12-11 05:17

Pogs and a Nuke in the same lint trap. Wanna play pogs? I dare you to beat me.

taro 2014-12-11 06:00

@spacedoubt All I get from this is a sad feeling.

larzan 2014-12-11 09:13

Nice sound, good idea and implementation, but the chatting thing did not work, i sent two messages and nothing ever came back, so i guess i kind of didn't see the whole point you wanted to make?

sk16games 2014-12-11 19:01

Haha very fun (and very boring of course :P) little game! Why not doing the laundry while playing other Ludum Dare games? :D

spacedoubt 2014-12-11 20:51

A sad feeling?! I thought it was awesome!

taro 2014-12-11 21:41

No problems, @spacedoubt, I knew you meant that in a positive. I was joking that one of the trinkets you can collect in the lint screen is "a sad feeling."

kualitygames 2014-12-11 22:06

Funny idea. I like how different it is from other games.

xanjos 2014-12-12 02:00

Well this was weirdly fun but the implementation is well done (especially the random stuff you can find in the lint traps) and you do have the theme nailed down really well.

egos 2014-12-12 22:13

i laugth a lot thanks.
seriously good idea the multigaming with this background
Great job

equipejam 2014-12-13 00:20

Really cool game! xD

wampus 2014-12-13 00:25

Its like I was actually in a laundromat, getting annoyed at how long it was taking to wash clothes. Good, funny concept. Next game: Garbage day.

dans17 2014-12-13 00:34

Well done, and enjoyable to play.

jjevil 2014-12-14 23:00

Intense clothes-washing action. I found a bag of chips in the lint trap & ate them while trying to change my ringtone.

sorlok 2014-12-15 00:07

Surprisingly fun! I love the feel of the game, and the stuff you find in the lint trap. Probably has the maximum "fun you're having" to "coolness of the thing you're doing" ratio.

scam 2014-12-15 19:40

Very fun and very boring at the same time. Bravo!

integershift 2014-12-15 23:22

Got to 101 Coins fun game but it could of had some kind of mechanic where you payed monthly rent or something to spice the game up a bit. Got pretty boring is all. Played on stream and was fun! http://www.twitch.tv/integershift

ryannielson 2014-12-16 00:46

I'd do laundry every day if I found tons of change in the lint trap. What a strange game, I enjoyed it.

bogdan-tana 2014-12-16 22:33

Never thought a laundry day could be so fun lol. Congrats! :D

puppetmaster 2014-12-16 23:38

Hehehe!! I can play this game the hole day! :-)
Cool sound effects!

Well made!

mrbadivan 2014-12-17 07:43

This game is a very fun, and I didnt expect this from laundary!=)
Simple, humorous, rewarding and addictive=)

simonchauvin 2014-12-17 14:25

This is actually pretty cool. I like the premise but I ended making huge laundries to gather lots of objects so that I could send text messages. Huge laundries taking more time I spent most of my time waiting :) Weird and in the end very close to the actual laundry day feeling. Well done.

tuism 2014-12-18 21:42

Whether you intended or not, you've basically just made what almost every freemium bloody mobile game is these days :)

And on a fraction of the budget too! Well done! :)

wavertron 2014-12-18 21:46

I found this game a little odd. I found myself waiting a little too much. eg the first cycle took like 2 minutes+ and I had nothing to really do. The text messages were a little slow and locked up one time. Still, there is a certain charm to this game.

taro 2014-12-18 22:27

@Tuism Psst!
It's intended.

rjhelms 2014-12-19 19:54

Remember laundry day? It's back, in game form!

andrewjamesadams 2014-12-20 00:20

I found an Ice Cube in the lint trap!

lynx 2014-12-20 05:17

Very humorous game concept, I kept finding myself washing clothes over and over without really know why I keep putting them back in! That's a sign of a great game!

I wish I had a pile of trinkets or something so I can look through see what I've gotten and how many I need

sakergames 2014-12-21 06:56

Nah, can't rate! Gotta do my laundry. :P

alwaysinbeta 2014-12-21 18:36

Really good, absurdist fun! Amazing what you find in those lint trays..

taro 2014-12-21 21:31

@janovbyrnisson *sends a text message* Rate the game, man.

job_ 2014-12-26 19:49

Hahaha, what a humor.
Pretty polished game, nice sounds, but I wish the gameplay was a little faster.
Neat idea. Great work!

hoqjed 2014-12-27 05:46

I found it interesting how sometimes a compelling narrative would be revealed through the phone/items every once in a while. I liked that approach and even though the game can be random it felt personal at times.

I was wondering where exactly those clothes were coming from however. I could swear I was just washing the same ones over and over haha.

Nice job on the audio too, everything was perfectly mundane. Matched the setting pretty well.

gallerdude 2014-12-27 18:52

Interesting play while I play other games.

efux 2014-12-27 19:12

Nice laundry simulator! =D

hissssssssss 2014-12-29 12:03

This was goofy, and reminded me a bit of Work Time Fun, but there's a surprisingly nice friend on the other end of that phone that boosts the Mood score for this game too.

It feels silly to say this about a laundry simulator, but I'm really, really impressed. Amazing job!

ethproductions 2014-12-29 16:16

Pretty cool concept! I like how you can spend money on the machines, but also profit from doing so. :)

oscarabraham 2014-12-29 17:20

This is weirdly relaxing. I love that I can do other things while playing it.

martial_cantarel_games 2014-12-29 18:49

cleaning the trap effect is awesome)))

gamepopper 2014-12-29 20:20

The game feels very slow, the idea itself is clever but the lack of music and interactive makes the game loose its appeal after a while.

The idea that it works in real time is really clever though.
