So cute! And pretty :) i also love the simple premise of having to mop and not being able to walk back over mopped areas - it relates to the theme so well in such a smart way!

I MUST MOP! But seriously! Brilliant game! I love it so much and it's so cute!
I really like the graphics and the mood created by the game. I managed to bug it out a little often, but overall it's a fun experience.
Very good game! Noticed a bug where if you walk into the water with a diagonal direction you could skip over and clip through it.
The pixel art style is really adorable! It's really interesting to see that the wet floor after mopping becomes the obstacle that limits the raccoon's movement and be careful not to get wet, which really fits daily life and reminds me when I do the housework. Overall I enjoy the mopping time.
i love the mopping mechanic! (it took me a while to realise that you lose lives not by stepping on the water but by mopping the furniture though 😂) the story as you play through is also so sweet!​​​
Adorable. Certainly one of my favorites already. If I could use gamepad instead of keyboard + mouse it would be perfect.
Gosh the raccoon family is so adorable! <3 I adored the graphics, but admittedly the gameplay was pretty frustrating :( The round rug was what got me most of the times as its hitbox seems pickier than other objects in the room. It would be nice if the hitboxes were more visibly consistent, and if you could see where your mop puddle was going to be placed
I like the design of this a lot - it's good to be rewarded by thinking ahead a bit. Only thing is I feel that losing is very abrupt since there's no time to see where or what you hit exactly.
Its so cute, and the concept reminds me of the chores I should be doing!
Love the noise the lil racoon makes when he steps on a wet patch! The game really captures the feeling of mopping and reminds me of how hard it is to mop IRL
This has to be the Dark Souls of cleaning games, but cooler because it has raccoons. I like how you can softlock the game by cleaning yourself into a corner which I think later causes the game to crash for some reason?

Sooooo cute :heart: I really like visuals, animations, and colors. Really nice game, great job ! (I thought it was noodles on the cover image :laughing: )
adorable game! the art style is well executed and feels really complete. I especially like the way the soundtrack builds over the levels. unfortunately the game play got pretty tedious and i was getting frustrated losing a life or getting stuck when all i wanted was to glide around and feel the satisfaction of a perfectly mopped floor. The errors made the game play a little taxing. But i still enjoyed it and made it through my frustrations to the end! and what a tragic end to immediately loop from having a family to "you are alone" lol. great job team!
Cute game, I played to the end. The story tied things together well and I quite liked how the music built over the course of the game. I did feel that the furniture hitboxes were slightly inconsistent (and it was odd that you could mop under the desk with the computer but not the dining table), though luckily having three lives per level made this only a minor concern.
The art style is just too cute, and the music complements it perfectly. The absurd reason for mopping the floor is hilarious, but it actually tells a story about a raccoon family.
this is so cute !!! i love mopping now
Art was great. It was a fun story too. Well done
very cute game (actually quite challenging!), loved it!
Really pretty and the story is very sweet. I got a bit frustrated when I kept messing up by mopping up objects. Might help to be able to see how far your mopping radius extends. I'd also personally prefer if you didn't jump every time you walk into a mopped area (maybe just once in the beginning to showcase that you can't walk there). I liked the spin on the theme!
Such a cute game!! Absolutely loving it, gameplay is extremely nice and indeed innovative, the idea is brilliant <3
the character was really cute, i really liked how it jumped ^^, however i had trouble moving through that space with the indicated keys, sometimes it just made random moves
What a lovely story! I almost threw in the towel (or mop?) a few times but I wanted to see how it ended. Happy I did, it was very satisfying to finish that last level, too.
A great LD entry that fits the theme perfectly, well done!
