Such an abstract game, but anyway, this old lady is pretty cute. Her sound effects are really adorable, which makes the game super fun.4d1130e1abfd44540c8ee9d7c6588b6c.png

I liked it for its humor and interesting idea about old technology, that it's old laundry. Great idea on that!

the grandma going from content to furious made me smile. my run ended fast and i didnt really get what the blue gauge wanted, a one-line hint before the first round would help

30.5, reminds me of old flash games on new grounds. Sometimes they were just simple little experiences that leave you thinking, "huh. okay." Nothing terrible about it, nothing "great" either. constructive feedback would be that I just wish there was a bit more to the game than what is there.

Honestly, the interpretation of the theme is top.

Nice little game! It kind of matches my own, where you start a fire. The mechanic is actually very close to what I started out with for my game, so it's fun to see it implemented in such a nice way in this one.

Really good job! I like the simple riff as background music and, of course, the little sounds the old lady makes.

Very adorable game, especially with the old lady sound effects whenever her mood changes. Gets tricky the way the she gets more picky the longer you stand in her presence.

Nice entry! I love the music and the lady's grumps. I would suggest adding some easing on the "scoring zone" movement to make it a little more fair, and maybe a way to tell how close you are to losing. Screenshot 2026-10-20 at 12-32-54 Old Wash Laundry - Ludum Dare 60 by Rafa Fiedo.png

nice little game, when i get tired of cleaning clothes in real life, i will play this instead

Made it to the 60s 😤 nice work, its a cute little game that is very complete!

Someone else said it already, but i would love maybe a bit more easing on the movement of the "safe zone" on the right. Also, someone has played Stardew Valley fishing minigame havent they? 😁

If I had to do laundry this way, I’d be grumbling just as unhappily. Thanks for the game.

I love the tutorial screen. Teaches game mechanics without a single line of text.

sorry for late reply! Thanks you all for playing, it was great to read your review, thanks!

@pankun The audio and music is always my favorite parts to do :)

@pazio-di-dante This time the theme was very hard for me! Great that you liked it!

@gevernus need to use mouse/pointer ;/ On the main menu there is a instruction, the game is so simple as hold red button on the white area

@isaac-hisey nice score! yea I so loved the flash games era! just to do simple idea and let's go! Thanks for the feedback! In future I'll try to do more gameplay!

@fourapril nice score!

@tasakasama thanks! haha, great that you liked the interpretation of theme!

@incd021 YEAAA, I love you game about making campfire, it was so fun!

@sudocoffee 100% right! great that you have noticed the change of her mood, there is a little more touch to this game. The music should be synchronized with her hands :P

@ghettobastler nice score! Yea, thanks for the suggestion, easing would definitely help here!

@pimeko WHHHHAHAHAAAAT??!?!!!???!? How have you done that? Big big congratulation for you! Yea, for sure it is clean now haha

@beareye hahaha, great! cleaning clothes should be enjoy-full!

@william-corrin haha, 100% great guess! I have spended countless hours doing fishing on Stardew Valley! Yea, the safe zone and easing would help the game a lot.

@viktoria hahahahaha! 100% true!

@lomna thanks for notice it! "Keep it simple" is one of my motto during games haha

Simple idea, solid execution. I thought this was a fun way to take the theme and was fun to play. The difficulty ramp-up really took off there as the area got smaller; my best try was a 47, only 3 better than my first try. Straightforward art design communicated everything it needs to on the one screen, and I always appreciate a compo game that has sounds and music (since I am so bad at getting those into my games). Overall a great game jam game, well done!

A fun game. It feels like I'm trying to reel in a tricky fish in Stardew Valley.

This was pretty funny, and her old lady sounds too. The music fit the vibe I got from this game. I didn't do too well though. How the heck are some of you getting a score of 200 O_O

Nice job! Scrubbing by dragging the mouse is instantly clear and satisfying, and the climbing score with the washer getting angrier gives great feedback. The hand-drawn art is charming and full of personality. Well played, congratulations again!
