The Cleaner

Took me several tries to complete this. The trick seems to be to give cats cookies. I'm not sure this game isn't a ploy by my neighbor's cat to get me to feed him. He HAS been staring at me weirdly all day ... anyway, I liked that you had two different maps and some cute graphics. That + icky subject matter = weird mood. Music was calming which was odd with countdown. Mechanics and controls were very good. Menus showed evidence of being produced in a game jam. It was a very satisfying puzzle to complete overall.

@lars-dk Thanks for having played, after the LD40 I will try to improve it more, and make its interface more grateful.

Interesting idea. The cats are cute. I like the cookie mechanic, it gives you a sense of progression from a scenario that otherwise could have felt like tedious coin collecting.

Nice and cute visuals! The poop sure does pile up quickly :D good use of the theme!

Wow, I didn't know cats poop so much. :D - The graphics are nice but I don't know if I should rate them. because you mention that the tileMap is from "humble pack" what's that? sohuld i exclude it from my rating? - Same goes for the audio. it's good but I hesitate to rate it because I dont know if you made any audio for the game and just forgot to opt out of the audio category. - That being said you pretty much nailed the theme. the more poop there is the worse it is. - The humour...is well... poop humour, and that made me smile. :P - Overall good job with the game.

Great graphics! Cute idea for sure. I enjoyed the background music.

The stuggle i had with the game was that i wanted to move around faster and just couldn't. when i lost i didn't feel like it was because i didn't have good strategy (althought i develop better strategy so i know that did contribute), but when i lost it felt as thought the toxin levels were rising and were beyond my control, and as result i didn't feel as good about the game. When i go around picking up poop, i want to feel rewarded by seing the toxin levels fall a bit. Also, the only sound effect that felt out of place was the "gleh" because it seemed too harsh for the nice background music.

other than that i enjoyed it! thank you for making the game :D

Quite charming overall, the cat sprites are quite cute.

life was quite hard before the invention of litterboxes : ( Were the cookies made out of cat feces? that might put a twisted spin on the game.

Simple and cute game. I think it should have more responsive textures on hitboxes but overall good job.
