The cute graphics and particle effects were the highlights for me! Watching the dust scatter as you clean up the old gadgets is really satisfying, and giving them little faces adds so much charm. A lovely take on "Old Tech".
Thanks for pointing me toward your game, and for the kind words about mine!
The game is really satisfying to play! I’d love to be able to control the object’s position on the screen myself, so I could finish cleaning one side before moving on to the next. Really cool take on the theme!
And thanks for rating my game!
P.S. Don't forget to include source code :)
Nice graphics! Core mechanics are simple yet satisfying. I think it would be even better if player could pause autorotation. Good job!
Real cute devices! I think it you were able to spin them by yourself it would be better. Nice Job!
Really cool entry! I loved the concept and the overall mood you’ve created here. The controls felt smooth and the gameplay was super engaging for a jam project. Solid work! Left full ratings. If you have a few minutes, we’d love for you to check out and rate our game about a cat assembling an atom bomb: Meow Bomb! 🐱💣 Cheers!
@steven-garberg Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm absolutely thrilled that you liked the particle effects and the facial expressions of the devices. Nailing that satisfying ASMR feeling of scattering dust was a big goal for me during the Compo. It was a real honor to play your beautiful game as well! Good luck with the voting stage! 🎈✨
@sanechekz Thank you so much for the awesome feedback! I'm really glad you found the cleaning satisfying. You made an excellent point about controlling the object's position and rotation manually. A lot of players noticed this too, so being able to pause the spinning or rotate the devices yourself will definitely be Feature #1 in the post-jam update! P.S. Thanks for the reminder — I've just uploaded the source code link to GitHub! Good luck with your game, balancing those medieval resources was a blast! 🏰☎️✨
@alexey-kuzovkov Thank you so much for the feedback and nice words about the graphics! I'm really glad you found the core mechanics satisfying. You and a few other players made an excellent point about the auto-rotation. I totally agree that adding a button to pause the spinning or giving the player manual control over the object's angle would make the cleaning way more precise and enjoyable. This will definitely be Feature #1 for the post-jam update on Itch.io! Thanks again for playing, and good job with your Windows 98 boss fight — it's an absolute masterpiece! 🖥️💥✨
@pazio-di-dante Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled you liked the device designs. You made an excellent point about manual rotation. Since a few other players highlighted this as well, adding a button to pause the spin or letting the player rotate the models themselves is definitely going to be Feature #1 for the post-jam update on Itch.io. Thanks again for playing, and good luck with your awesome workshop simulator! 🤖🛠️
@nursultan Thank you so much for the kind words and full ratings! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the concept and the overall mood of the cleaning simulator. Your game "Meow Bomb!" looks absolutely legendary on the screenshots! That voxel 3D room mixed with a 2D hand-drawn paw is such a clever art style. I’ve just dropped by your page to leave high ratings and a feedback too! Thanks for playing, and good luck with your atomic kitten project! 🐱💣✨
sound when completing repair scared the s out of me lol I relly liked the art style and core loop. short but captivating 2 minutes of my life:) Would be happy if you also checked out my game!
I like the pixel art for all the devices. The dust is a nice detail. The color matching makes for an interesting interaction with the device.
Really nice relaxing game. The objects movement while cleaning was a bit confusing for me.
Would have been nice if we could rotate the object ourselves and maybe add pieces we can't blow? A relaxing entry :)
an asmr cleaning simulator for old 16 bit gadgets is such a specific and lovely idea, and blasting the dust off while their little anime faces get happier is weirdly satisfying. the particle effects do a lot of the work, watching the grime scatter is the best part. which of the five gadgets was the most fun to design? really cozy little game.
The retro aesthetic you pulled off for the gadgets is absolutely perfect. It gives the whole cleaning process a really cozy, vintage vibe, and watching the grime scatter is super satisfying. Great job capturing that unique atmosphere for a jam project!
cute and fun :)
@lastyw Haha, thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the art style and the core loop. Sorry about the loud victory noise — in the midnight rush, I might have overdone the 8-bit sound effects a bit too much! 😅
I've just played your locomotive simulator as well and left you high ratings! The landscapes outside the window look absolutely gorgeous, and the train atmosphere is super cozy. I kept failing with the water pump, but the overall presentation is awesome! Thanks for playing! 🚂✨
@chomby Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you noticed the color matching system — extracting the exact pixel hue from the grime masks to paint the flying debris was a fun challenge to code.
I've just explored your castle and left you ratings in return! The main character and the running animations are incredibly cute and full of charm. Good luck with the voting and your upcoming post-jam version! 🧶🏰✨
@cogcomp Thank you so much for the feedback! I’m really glad you liked the pixel art and found the core loop satisfying.
You hit the nail on the head with the auto-rotation. Pausing the spin or giving the player manual control over the object’s angle is definitely Feature #1 for the post-jam version. It will make finishing up those last dirty spots way more precise!
I’ve just tested your game as well and left you ratings! The title art is awesome, and you did a fantastic job conveying that classic pseudo-3D sense of speed in just 24 hours. Great job and good luck with the jam! 🏎️💨✨
@notnasiul Thank you so much for your kind words and the relaxing vibes! I'm really glad you enjoyed the ASMR cleaning process.
You made an excellent point about manual rotation and adding non-blowable parts (like unscrewing plates or fixing things)! A few other players highlighted this as well, so giving the player full control over the object's angle and adding deeper repair mechanics is definitely going to be Feature #1 for the post-jam update on Itch.io.
I've just visited your page to drop some high ratings! Playing as a bumper car operator is such a creative idea, and your PICO-8 art style looks wonderful. Thanks again for playing and good luck! 🛠️🧼🚗✨
@perrarancino Thank you so much for the detailed review and kind words! I'm thrilled that the scattering dust behavior and the little evolving anime faces landed so well. Making that ASMR grime-blasting feeling satisfying was a top priority for me during the Compo!
To answer your question: designing the Old CRT TV was definitely the most fun (and the most challenging)! Coding that custom canvas loop with pseudo-3D math to render its proper cube depth and capturing that authentic retro screen curvature feel in under 48 hours was an absolute blast.
I've just explored your game "Textolite" as well and left full ratings! Stage 2 is brutally tough, but the visuals, the music, and the creepy animations of those worms and spiders are top-notch. Absolutely brilliant work! Thanks for playing! 📺🧼🐛✨
@eugenik Thank you for your feedback regarding the cozy retro vibe and particle scattering! Making that ASMR cleaning process feel satisfying was definitely the core goal of the project.
I've just visited your page to drop some ratings based on your presentation. The Papers, Please style loop mixed with a 1930s pharmacy and manual scale balancing is a very unique setup. I noticed the technical discussion in your thread about using LLMs due to language barriers — I can definitely relate to using translation tools to help bridge the English gap, as long as we keep the human connection genuine. Thanks for playing and good luck! ⚖️🧼
@roroto-sic Thank you so much! I'm really glad you found the retro cleaning fun and cute! Nailing that satisfying pixel behavior was a major goal for me during the 48 hours.
I've just explored your Game Boy diary entry and left you high ratings in return! It took me a moment to realize I needed to press `J` to interact with the emulator, but once I got it, I absolutely loved the dialogue depth and the beautiful 8-bit aesthetic. Incredible job for a few hours of work! Thanks for playing! 💾👾✨
It’s a very interesting and addictive game. Doing something repetitive — in this case, cleaning old things — reminds me of games like House Flipper or PowerWash Simulator. The only thing that worries me is that the object rotates too quickly, which sometimes makes cleaning take a long time. But overall, it’s really fun, definitely a LIKE!
The dust effect when cleaning makes it very satisfying. I'd echo the comments about slower or manual rotation. At the current speed I don't feel I have any control over which part I'm cleaning. Having said that it is still fun to play.
Cleaning games are always satisfying. I would have liked to be able to control the rotation myself.
I was pleased to clean the first tamagotchi, I think it's worth manually rotating the tamagotchi and in the future doing one angle per 1 side, where there are 6 in total, the intermediate angles are slightly confusing because in another angle I already cleaned the screen, and in the intermediate one it's dirty again) in general, the game works, I enjoyed it when I cleaned the device
@intich Thank you so much for the review and the awesome comparison to PowerWash Simulator and House Flipper! That's a huge compliment for me. I totally agree about the rotation speed making it tricky to polish specific areas. Thanks for playing and for the support! 🛠️🧼✨
@fifut Thank you so much for the feedback! I'm really glad you found the cleaning satisfying. You and several other players made an excellent point about the continuous auto-rotation — it can definitely get disorienting. Manual rotation or locking the devices to fixed angles is going to be the very first feature for the post-jam version! Thanks for playing, and good luck with your awesome pinball simulator! 📺🧼🔨✨
@kontest53 Thank you so much for the awesome and very detailed feedback! I'm really glad you enjoyed cleaning the first tamagotchi.
Your suggestion about locking the device to 4 or 6 fixed sides instead of continuous auto-rotation is absolutely brilliant! That completely solves the confusion with intermediate angles where dirt seems to reappear after you've already polished that specific section. This is an excellent game design layout tip, and it's definitely going to be Feature #1 for the post-jam version.
Thanks again for playing, and good luck with your amazing ship crane simulator! 🤖🎮🚢✨
Beautiful art style and minimalist gameplay! Great job!
For some reason, I couldn't get the Tamagotchi 100% clean at first. The progress slowed down around 74–75% when I clicked directly on it. But when I moved the tool to the side, I managed to finish cleaning it.
it took me a while to understand that tamagochi is rotating, and pretty hard to cleanup last dirst parts, so I haven't finished the game, and maybe missed some extra content. Unfortunately can't upload gif here.
the pixel art and the dust particles are super satisfying. cleaning up that little tamagotchi and watching its face change is a really cute idea for the old tech theme.
one thing though — the auto-rotation is pretty fast. it can get a bit disorienting when you try to clean a specific spot, and sometimes the dirt seems to reappear on the angles in between. maybe locking it to fixed sides or letting the player rotate it manually would make it feel much more precise.
still, a very cozy and relaxing entry!
Nice retro style) It reminds me of ReStory game. Cool dust effect! The cleaning process could be more enjoyable if i could rotate objects on my own
Ого, тамагочи и флопик!
That's cute... I like the graphics! 😁 Minimalistic design fits nicely with the retro sounds.
Also the game idea fits perfectly with the graphics. But I feel the dust is a bit buggy, sometimes there are spots that dust should not appear since I already blow it up from the other side. You could have kept the rotations being 90 degrees instead of 45 to simplify the algorithm. To be honest, it was 1 piece that I barely obtain 85% to set it as cleaned since there were only some tiny particles left...
And the tool... the area that blows up the dust is kinda small. It's hard to blow up an area you want, and it's tiring to keep moving the mouse.
But for your first entry, it's already enough. Great job!
