So Good, love the 3d pixel art style, and the sound effects!
I LOVE it! It has multiple cool game mechanics combined into one game. Sokoban, resource handling, limited moves. Awesome. Great art style as well. Really well done.
Quite a fun puzzle, love the art <3. Gives me nostalgia of playing adventure games on sega/snes. I had no sound :C
Wonderful entry, with a great artstyle and music!
20 minutes from my life is yours, good game I liked it :)
really good art, music, mechanics, and design. An undo button would help make it less frustrating imo (but I'm a casual so take that with a grain of salt)
This was tons of fun! It started out fairly easy, but then at around level 4 I really had to twist my brain to work out the solution. The mechanics are taught very intuitively and have been used to make some challenging puzzles. The art and music are both fantastic and the story is charming. Great game!
wow. great game. looking nice and the gameplay is fun and refreshing. The sound is a little "scratchy" on my headphones
Great pixelart, music fits well and funny gameplay.
Great game!
I really liked how everything is introduced, with controls always on screen and good puzzle design. I especially love the puzzle teaching the turbo mode.
Art style is really good and all the little audio for feedback make the game feel very polished.
Thanks for the game 💕
I like it, great puzzle game with beautifull pixelart
I laughed a lot, the idea is brilliant! Also, quite addictive mechanics :D
Nice puzzle game with great pixel art! took me a moment to get the mechanics, they worked really well once I figured them out.
Thank you! The HTML version had issues so I needed to download, later figured out that you can not play with keyboard. WindowsDownload link let's you download linux version first. Why not one link and then you have to choose? You get multiple warnings for the exe version when downloading on windows. Stopped at level 4 or so, I was not able to align everything, trief multiple times. I like sokoban games :)
Great job! Well designed puzzles; kept me entertained for a long while. Pixel art is cute and music really fitting.
That was outstanding. I can praise the music, the sound design (the vacuum is SO SATISFYING), the cute art and the strong theme. But, most of all, I want to praise the puzzle design. It is stellar. It is just absolutely stellar. The levels are beautiful, intense, satisfying to solve and I am confounded as to how you guys managed to design puzzles that work so well in so little time. For that, kudos! You've really outdone any expectations I had from an LD puzzle game (or puzzle games in general).
The only thing that I can think of in terms of improvements is that the isometric style, colour choices and design come together in a weird way sometimes that make it difficult to see the floor spaces. So, a couple levels in, I found myself stuck at a puzzle because I couldn't see the tile in front of my player as free. Multiple times, I found tiles existing or being blocked where I didn't think they were because of shadows, lighting and plants. It's an easy fix with some testing, and it was a minor annoyance at worst.
That is very nitpicky though. The fact that that is the only thing I could think of when I replayed the game in my head means this is really awesome. Would love a post-LD release to play through. If not, I'll probably come back to this and show this one off.
Loved it!
This was great! I didn't realize how fun Sokoban with a vacuum would be :smiley: The art, music, and design was really outstanding. I love the pixel art.
I have to agree that it could sometimes be difficult to perceive tiles properly. I found myself suddenly realizing there was actually a free space right next to me a couple of times. Still, I actually really like the isometric style. I didn't have any trouble with it other than that.
Really nice work on it!
your game is amazing, the ar, the puzzles are perfect they work so good and it's so satisfaing when you complete of them, the soundtrack never get booring it's beautiful and combine with the atmosphere. Amazing game 5/5
Super fun little puzzle game! Great job!
Really good game, the turbo-vacuum mechanic was simple but so satisfying to use. The difficulty curve was well tuned, slowly (but not too slowly!) adding new complications and twists to the puzzles
What a cool take on block pushing puzzles! As a connoisseur of sokoban, I was missing an "undo" button, but the puzzles themselves were outstanding. I really liked the ones that made you interweave normal vacuums, pushing, and big vacuums, instead of just setting up then vacuuming. Great game!
Awesome game! Very interesting puzzles. I would suggest making the potted plants a bit shorter though because they sometimes block the view of the tiles behind them
Well done :) Very pretty graphics, especially neon ones. Music's cool. Puzzles were hard for me, but I guess that's the point on them :)
Thats the best puzzel game i played in a long time. No joking!
This is a solid entry! puzzles are hard, just right before the "I am quitting" zone ... still I got to the end.
I liked everything in this game. Fun to play to the end. Soundtrack is really cool, reminded me of Baba. This could be a commercial game right away! Here is my diploma: !Cleanomancer_diploma_crop.png
A very cool spin on the Sokoban genre. Very professional. The graphics were top notch, the level design well though, the sounds / music very fitting and atmospheric.
Probably the best and most complete game I have played so far in this jam that can stand by its own rights, not just as an LD game. This could be a smash hit as a browser game. I have nothing bad to point out or any improvements to make, which says a lot. Congrats!
Solid entry and original game idea ! Really neat graphisms and music, a lot of fun playing it. Good job! :v:
Nice Game and Nice graphics, good job!
This is also how I intend to clean my flat from now on! Great job with basically everything!
love the graphics! Great game too!
Quite a unique take on the theme, and you executed it really well! A very nice puzzle game, you were able to hit a surprisingly good difficulty curve with the level design, and the overall graphics and sounds are very fitting.
A very stellar entry all around, can't complain much about anything really. Amazing work!
Oh, no, the dreadful coffee stain! And right after I thought I was done cleaning :wink: It's a really nicely made game. The setup is funny, the puzzles are cool, if not overly complicated. I like the art - it is pleasant to look at and consistent. And I would love to know what is the green creature staring at me from the closet!
Very nice work and an impressive amount of levels in a jam game!
The only thing that I didn't really like is the music. But that's more of a personal taste than anything else. The interesting thing is, I actually kinda liked it at the start. But it started to tire me after several levels. And I can't even say exactly why. Maybe too intense?
Anyway, really nice jam job :)
@fabula-rasa Hey, thanks for leaving a comment :smile: It was our sound designer's first jam and she's used to making... well, more intense stuff, so it might still be a little too much for some people, especially on a puzzle game. We're in love with her work in our team, so yeah it's a matter of taste too :laughing: Thanks again for playing!
@steve-dragon Thanks a lot for your comment, our game designer was not so confident in their work during the jam, and too often the LD gets forgotten to graphics and sound :slight_smile: I'm the artist and I'll probably try and repair all this "unclear space" stuff later on, thanks for the feedback. To be honest I can't wait to rework on it post-LD, thanks to all the amazing comments we got here :heart:
@nardandas The undo button was largely the most requested feature, so our programmer already implemented it, so it will most probably be included in our first post-LD release :wink:
Ive got nothing really useful to say but just wanted to say great job! art is adorable, puzzles were really well thought out and that sound when you complete a level is epic! I got a bit stuck at one point before i really started to think of fuel in terms of turbos and non-turbos but then i cleaned up!...i'm so sorry. Maybe some shader voodoo could help your plants in front of tiles stuff? like semi-transparent when theres trash behind them?
Wow! Really clever puzzle game. Hooked me unitl the end. Also so many levels. I also liked how you managed to add lore to the always deeper going rooms and the rubish they're littered with. Really well designed levels and a pleasing art style. The music was a bit to short for my taste, so after a while (and it took a while to solve all these genious puzzles) it got somewhat anoying. But this is a really polished completed and well coded entry, i really liked it!
Tricky! Kept me up way too late on a work night. Well done
A puzzle delight. Very well thought out and well done. Deep cleaning is what my home needs! The music is packed and makes you want to dance. The level designer is to be congratulated!
great game!
Congratulations to the team.
A great little puzzler. Loved the graphics and the gameplay, music got a bit annoying after a while though. Great entry!
great job! i made it to the first level with the alternate floor plan. i liked the visuals and the "going down stairs" animation. the puzzle mechanic was fun to figure out.
one thing that really confused me was that i couldn't seem to do a "normal" vacuum even though i had 1 charge remaining. if one charge isn't enough to do the most basic technique, it just feels weird to me.
i think you could have taken the "eldritch hotel" theme a bit further, visually, the hotel, and the trash itself, seemed very normal.
overall, a very fun game!
@sakura-magika I agree with you for the weirdness of having a basic technique that takes 2! We might discuss it for further development. Did you continue very far? The trash gets weirder eventually :wink:
Funny puzzle game. Easy mechanics and nice graphics and music. It's a bit hard to understand what you can vacuum with your current charge. Maybe an indication of how much it takes to wipe something would be a good hint
Nice puzzle game! Love the art, and an amazing work on the sound part! The new layers on the music as the game progress make an immense difference on the gameplay and overall mood (and really happy to learn about the Godot plugin!)! Oh, and the stranger looking hallways and trash too xD Really, great work!
This is my favorite puzzle game so far in this edition, and I played a lot of them. The mechanic is pretty simple and intuitive, the art is beautiful and the sound design as well. I had loads of fun playing this and will recommend this to my friends who also like puzzle games. Awesome work, guys, congrats!
amazing progression (audiovisual + difficulty) and solid gameplay mechanics! great job!
Superb art style, awesome mechanics and puzzle design. As others might have pointed out, the game could benefit greatly from an undo button / action. Great entry, well done! :trophy:
With an undo button this would be perfect! Beautiful game, I love this style of puzzle games. Would love to see more of it!
