One of the most interesting concepts I've seen so far- I enjoy how fast you can get going once you build up enough speed! The amount of time it takes to fully upgrade feels just right. And the music combined with the great pixel-art aesthetic makes this game a very enjoyable experience. Great work, and I'd love to play this game again if it was expanded upon with more levels!

Wasn't expecting to have this much fun playing as a roomba, but I did. Good job!

Congrats for making such a good game! I haven't stumbled upon such a creative entry for a while...
Very good use of the theme and fun game to play! Great job!
This is a really original idea. Really good feedback, too; sounds, graphics etc.
Very well done play progression. it was fun to keep playing

It's fun. Good upgrade system, I cleaned the room!
One room, one roomba. Brilliant! I LOVE the background track, it's super catchy and inviting. I think the level design fits the mechanics well, it doesn't stay too long and is satisfying to finish without any grinding appearing at all. Well done!

Best music of the whole Jam. I liked all the various things floating around; they provided a challenging course as well as a fair bit of humor as I rolled around vacuuming a virtual carpet.

Nice game! Took a while but i made it :) Kangaroo and Pig fighting? :D

Now I want a roomba society where I have to earn enough money or my roomba family will starve...
Great game, music, graphics and humor!
Super fun game! I enjoyed it a lot more than vacuuming in real life.
This was extremely fun. Great graphics and audio. Oddly enough this not the only roomba game in this jam. Poopy roomba is the other game.
Omg! lol I did not know it would be so satisfying to be a vacuum! The controls were very smooth. The art fits the game along with the sound and the music. Well done indeed!

What a interesting approach to the idea! Really loving it. Kept me playing
Ha I made a Roomba game as well. I really like the approach you took on yours. Great character designs on your enemies!

Really fun, I was disappointment there was not a cat riding the Roomba ... but I loved everything else. Great execution of a clever concept. The game design felt very cohesive and the the upgrade system kept me coming back for more.
Very fun game with great graphics, gameplay and theme. Recharge feature is brilliant.
Really fun and addictive game. I especially loved the music.
That was cool. Really good music. Upgrading might have been a little too easy, it only took me 3 or 4 runs to finish it.

Roomba's motto: Suck all the world!
(I had fun vacuuming the room which is kinda surprising...)

Very interesting and polished! One of the better roomba games in this LD (for which apparently the theme is "roomba")
Lovely artwork, cool sound nice idea.
Feels like a session von C64.
I cleaned so much, now my "real life" apartment is a total mess :-D

Nice use of theme here played it all the way. Nice graphics!
I did it! That room was filthy as hell haha...I wish I had that pro roomba with me always. Good job! I had fun. That kangaroo wasn't expeted at all...lol
This game is fun. I like the dogs, lol. Great gameplay and the sound is very good. Good job.

That was fun. Especially when I saw the guy sparring with a kangaroo in his flat, haha!
The upgrades get really powerful really quick, which makes the game nice and frantic and gives the player a good feeling of power.
I loved the silly dogs in the referee shirts. And rhumba music, from the sounds of it!

i'm glad that isn't my living room, nice take on the theme!

Love the game, definitively funnier than cleaning my own room :) Graphics are very nice, I liked the kangaroo in the middle of the room. Controls are very nice. Here are some things you could improve: increase the robot capabilities more smoothly: on one step I had almost nothing but I had so much money I was able to buy a lot of things and finish the game. Also, you could make the robot invincible after being hit, it case you get stuck in a corner or between two enemies.
Controls are great, upgrade system is neat. Lots of variety in the obstacles/ areas to clean. Great work all around!

A really well executed idea! The graphics and sounds all fit together nicely. I didn't encounter any glaring bugs. Good job!
Spent quite a lot of time getting upgrades and cleaning up this room actually. :) I would have liked more time to indicate that my battery was low. Seemed like once I got the color shift and beeping sound I had no hope of getting home. ...unless that too is an upgrade I missed, in which case, disregard. Great game!

really addicting, nice job!
nice! is that the kangaroo that is being punch by a guy in youtube reference?
Nice, simple and fun game. Awesome take on the theme :D
Whoa! Awesome game.
Hey, original idea :) I love it.
Balance feels just right, the overall concept is as unique as it could be)
Very fun, kept me playing until i won. Got 70% with 0% battery left :D

great game, the enemies are crazy!?! good imaginations!
Neat game! Perspective of the sprites feels a bit off though. Kinda feels like this could have been a game on the Super Nintendo with the sound and looks. :)
I think I played this game longer than any other LDJAM game I've ever played. I legitimately love it. I want more levels/rooms SO BAD! There is something almost hypnotic about it. The music was simple, but fit the mood very well. Every once in a while it would randomly speed up for a couple seconds, which I think was a glitch. I never thought I'd say this, but I think it is too easy to earn points and upgrade. All in all very solid and pretty great. I'll be waiting for the sequel...

Nice job. I love the cartoonish and detailed graphics, the music is well chosen / coherent with the game.
Upgradable stats is a cool feature.
It's a good move to let players mute the music, it's always a good thing to not force your users when they want to play while watching / listening to something else.

Neat game. I found myself really enjoying it. The game has a lot of potential on mobile to kill time.
You do need to fix the anchor on that Replay button though, it was way off to the side.
Its a good game, upgrade system is cool

I had great time playing this. Well done! :)
Great game ! It's very fun and addictive
Awesome ! I completed it, and only in the end I realized it was a telly :D
100% accurate roomba simulator
Awesome game. I really liked the art style and the soundtrack, can't stop playing!!!
That's fun! Great graphics and good humor! Why is there a boxing kangaroo? ;) Anyway, I like it!

This game is really awesome!
Fantastic work!
I can't say something negative ;D
Great work!
I've seen your posts about it, and finally it came. Funny idea and great realization =)
A liitle thing - it's quite lags on my computer.

Amazing music :P
The concept of this game may look simple at first glance, but the truth is that it's a really interesting game that offers cool visuals, tight controls, humor and a great learning curve. The upgrade system is spot on (my strategy was to start with battery upgrades) and provides depth to the experience. Driving the roomba around at max speed was a pleasure : Would love to see this expanded with new rooms, crazy upgrades and objectives, you have a very enjoyable concept here. The only thing I would and would maybe be a map of the room, so it would indicate the places which have yet to be cleaned. A very solid experience, congratulations for this and long live the roomba! :D
Great idea! I loved slingshotting around really fast. The upgrades really made a difference. I liked the way it was instanced, the same room but with better power/etc. Pretty addicting!

A surprisingly fun entry, though I wasn't a fan of all of the silly environment sprites; I think I would have preferred if the game had been played straight and you were simply a roomba cleaning up a normal room.
Having the zoom magnification be an upgrade was an interesting idea!
Great concept with good execution. The mechanics are really fun to play, artstyle is pretty good. The idea is really interesting. Might be one of my favorites so far.
Best idea so far and the execution is very well done. Gameplay is smooth, the graphics are cute and I actually run the game now in the background for the music.
Haha, had a lot of fun playing! I love the upgrade system and the game plays very well. Good job!
Oddly satisfying

This was so much fun! Especially because of the upgrade system. Great job!
Wow. So this is I think the third Roomba game that I've played in this jam, but by far my favorite!
It's got a Katamari vibe, where there's just this boxing match happening, and it has nothing to do with your goals in the game. It's just something that happens to be going on.
I love it.
yey, I won :D
I have so much respect for this entry,
the innovation here is over the top,
audio is great,
I'm sure you could do some more work on the graphics but they're good too
congrats, have my stars

This was super fun!
The roomba controls were solid, the upgrades progression enhanced replayability and I got hooked to the music track. Graphics also felt really polished, and the boxing fight was an absurd, hilarious touch.
Congrats! :)
This truly the interesting concept,it is very cool have its one economy and you cant stop before you win!
I even don't know what to include on it. Good job and keep going!
Although it never becames an actual challenge, very fun to keep playing till the end.
You can push to 85% or 90%, I never saw the kitchen very well.
Some inconsistent art but it gave a weird interesting distinct feel. Music was very pleasing.
Overall a very nice entry!
The game I had the more fun with.
Just impressive, the game design is perfect, really cool grinding/upgrades mechanics, really gives the player a good feeling of progression.
Superb entry, 5 stars!
Funny game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/ZixdysfW5fU
