The art and animations are so cute! Love the game mechanics, I've never had to use my keyboard quite like that before haha. Overall fun game with good puzzle design! Well polished too!

I had a lot of fun playing this, it's a very innovative idea. Being forced to use the mouse or arrows makes this hard to play however. If that was changed I could very well imagine this as a real game to learn touch typing!

I'm not sure if it was a problem with my keyboard but I couldn't get out of the first level. I was able to get one of the higher dust bunnies but no combination I tried could get me the second.

Art, animation, music, and vibes are all awesome. I just wish I could've gotten further in the game!

amazing game, level 17 and 18 were super difficult in the best way, overall one of the best entries ive played

Guys, I liked the game very much. My dispraxic girlfriend liked it too, but she low key hates you)

Great idea and it is really fun to play! :grin: The rumba is so adorable! :blue_heart: And I like that it is possible to replay earlier levels.

Sometimes I got a little confused because my keyboard has different keys (e.g. "y" is "z" for me and "/" is "-" on my keyboard). I know that the time is limited, just as an idea for the future: It might be nice to have an option to select the keyboard version.

@n-lan thanks for the kind words! Yeah we considered support for different keyboard formats like AZERTY and QWERTZ, but we decided there were just too many different keyboards and not enough time... Sorry you couldn't really play our game!

Incredible game idea, love the roomba and music especially. Also, the roomba does a spin dance when you clear a level. I mean, come on. How could you not love that.

I also loved your level design, pretty much every level brought some new idea to the table, explored it for a bit and then moved on. A great difficulty curve too. The sound design was incredible as well, the clicking of the keys was incredibly satisfying every time and really helped with immersion. I don't really know what to criticise here that hasn't already been criticised, I also had a different keyboard layout than the ingame keys, but still managed to find the keys I needed fairly quickly.

If I develop hand cramps from trying to press 12 buttons at once while moving the roomba with my nose I will report back :)

Really great idea and well executed. This game taught me things about the wiring of my keyboard that I hadn't investigated before. For example, FRJIN is one of the only five-letter combinations that can be registered on my keyboard simultaneously. It was enough to complete all the levels, and added quite a bit to the puzzle.

great level design, nice art, worked perfectly and I finished the whole game, last level especially interesting idea

You are geniuses. You are geniuses.

It's a wonderful game. This is exactly a game, not a prototype, not a test. Wonderful tasks.

She's right here! Right under your hands! And you (dust bunnies are generally what they are, I adore them, give them all) remove the ill-fated dust from the keyboard.

P.s

I'm going to clean up my desk, and then I'm going to let my younger sisters play.

When I learned how to use a computer, I was taught the crab handle. This is when you hold down Ctrl, Alt and Del at the same time. This game and especially level 9 made me feel exactly the same again. Thank you

Very cute game!

The mechanics are very clever and the levels serve a nice difficulty curve.

I've definitely felt the acrobatics in my hands and brain.

It's a fun and entertaining toy! 10 rabbits out of 10! Vacuum cleaner rules!!! You guys are great!

A really creative take on the puzzle game, where you really have to leverage your keyboard's power.
