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!

mik3 2016-12-12 10:15

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

mattmatt 2016-12-12 10:18

Congrats for making such a good game! I haven't stumbled upon such a creative entry for a while...

cinnamonmelonpig 2016-12-12 11:15

Very good use of the theme and fun game to play! Great job!

moomoomang 2016-12-12 11:15

This is a really original idea. Really good feedback, too; sounds, graphics etc.

tater_hater 2016-12-12 11:26

Very well done play progression. it was fun to keep playing

psilon 2016-12-12 18:27

It's fun. Good upgrade system, I cleaned the room!

sepharoth213 2016-12-12 20:08

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!

levin 2016-12-13 02:35

This.
Best concept ever.
way too much fun here. well done!

fdr 2016-12-13 02:43

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.

wujood 2016-12-13 02:44

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

diregoose 2016-12-13 03:04

Really like this one! Great use of theme, has music. solid gameplay. Dogs wiping their buts on carpets, it has it all!

laylow 2016-12-13 03:08

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!

lucas-knutson 2016-12-13 03:11

Super fun game! I enjoyed it a lot more than vacuuming in real life.

tinykidtoo 2016-12-13 03:31

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.

thatguyminib 2016-12-13 03:44

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!

onixowl 2016-12-13 04:31

What a interesting approach to the idea! Really loving it. Kept me playing

jimmothysanchez 2016-12-13 04:53

Ha I made a Roomba game as well. I really like the approach you took on yours. Great character designs on your enemies!

tezra 2016-12-13 04:54

Had fun going around the pretty big room. Good game!

kerr 2016-12-13 04:56

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.

alexanderk 2016-12-13 05:28

Very fun game with great graphics, gameplay and theme. Recharge feature is brilliant.

bentglasstube 2016-12-13 06:40

Really fun and addictive game. I especially loved the music.

cosmic-hawke 2016-12-13 07:43

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.

stylo21 2016-12-13 10:21

Very well done, fun and interesting, good job ^^

albert-viader 2016-12-13 10:28

Very good idea! That was fun to play :)

shigor 2016-12-13 11:27

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

mieeh 2016-12-13 11:39

Love these types of games! Excellent, good work!

tkachov 2016-12-13 12:07

I AM A W/A/S/D CONTROLLED ANTI-ALIAS ERASER TOOL AND I'M HERE TO ERASE ALL YOUR DIRT LAYER :DDDDD

erikiene 2016-12-13 13:20

Very interesting and polished! One of the better roomba games in this LD (for which apparently the theme is "roomba")

redbutton 2016-12-13 14:15

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

kadadev 2016-12-13 14:34

Nice use of theme here played it all the way. Nice graphics!

bigbuggames 2016-12-13 14:35

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

creativwhisper 2016-12-13 14:40

This game is fun. I like the dogs, lol. Great gameplay and the sound is very good. Good job.

ema1ih 2016-12-13 14:45

Nice game, it's fun, i like the music ^_^

bejk 2016-12-13 14:50

Really liked the concept, good work!

thygrrr 2016-12-13 15:03

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!

garethiw 2016-12-13 15:17

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

aun 2016-12-13 15:56

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.

stonemonkeystudios 2016-12-13 15:59

Controls are great, upgrade system is neat. Lots of variety in the obstacles/ areas to clean. Great work all around!

bradur 2016-12-13 16:54

A really well executed idea! The graphics and sounds all fit together nicely. I didn't encounter any glaring bugs. Good job!

aflatminerstudios 2016-12-13 16:57

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!

humanics 2016-12-13 17:03

really addicting, nice job!

warmlemon 2016-12-13 20:41

nice! is that the kangaroo that is being punch by a guy in youtube reference?

leondryaso 2016-12-13 21:24

Nice, simple and fun game. Awesome take on the theme :D

grandtheftmarmot 2016-12-13 21:40

Whoa! Awesome game.

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 22:02

Hey, original idea :) I love it.

mighty-buxx 2016-12-13 22:43

Balance feels just right, the overall concept is as unique as it could be)

negativice 2016-12-13 22:46

Very fun, kept me playing until i won. Got 70% with 0% battery left :D

ariake81 2016-12-13 23:25

great game, the enemies are crazy!?! good imaginations!

decentsauce 2016-12-14 01:03

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. :)

mrshoestore 2016-12-14 01:36

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...

mrmordem 2016-12-14 02:53

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.

aaranos 2016-12-14 03:28

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.

lusternite 2016-12-14 05:10

Its a good game, upgrade system is cool

quiv 2016-12-14 05:40

283% battery, I think I got this

mrevilguy 2016-12-14 08:45

Yeeeeeeehaw this is a great game!!!!!!!!!!!

pokatashan 2016-12-14 09:49

Great idea. That was a fun ride :)

ghostik 2016-12-14 14:12

I had great time playing this. Well done! :)

bellatrion 2016-12-14 14:16

Great game ! It's very fun and addictive

dev-dennis 2016-12-14 15:17

Awesome ! I completed it, and only in the end I realized it was a telly :D

mrnyarlathotep 2016-12-14 15:55

100% accurate roomba simulator

aster0id2000 2016-12-14 16:30

Awesome game. I really liked the art style and the soundtrack, can't stop playing!!!

markusfisch 2016-12-14 21:16

That's fun! Great graphics and good humor! Why is there a boxing kangaroo? ;) Anyway, I like it!

ganon 2016-12-15 07:03

As soon as I saw this I knew I had to play it. Funny title and it looks and sounds awesome. One of the most fun I had playing a LD37 game! Tip of the beanie to ya & enjoy a sodipop!

stylo21 2016-12-15 10:46

This game is really awesome!

Fantastic work!

I can't say something negative ;D

badabooom63 2016-12-15 21:54

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.

tooichi 2016-12-16 07:27

Amazing music :P

bubsypoochies 2016-12-16 13:51

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

lightyear 2016-12-16 18:20

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!

seleb 2016-12-16 21:28

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!

pietro-ferrantelli 2016-12-17 00:12

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.

frittatenbank 2016-12-17 09:36

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.

pixelpotions 2016-12-17 15:32

Haha, had a lot of fun playing! I love the upgrade system and the game plays very well. Good job!

jacklehamster 2016-12-18 01:45

Oddly satisfying

karai17 2016-12-18 05:48

11/10, terrific entry! <3

split82 2016-12-18 13:15

This was so much fun! Especially because of the upgrade system. Great job!

simonhutchinson 2016-12-19 02:29

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.

romandtom 2016-12-24 16:14

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

ithildin 2016-12-27 02:52

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! :)

minato4th 2016-12-27 10:54

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!

samuelsousa 2016-12-28 18:02

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!

oddly-shaped-pixels 2017-01-02 10:49

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!

jupiter_hadley 2017-01-14 15:03

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
