Based on an article on the Onion of the same name exaggerating the rate at which window washers die, our game sends you, with a jetpack, to save these poor cleaners from a horrible death. Read it, it'll explain how we're following the theme! (Plus the ropes take 10 seconds to break :P )
Controls: Fly around with WASD or the Arrow keys.
How to Play: Heal ropes by flying over them, kick birds and save falling cleaners!
In Hardcore mode, the game is over at first death. In Chaos mode, a death meter fills up with each dude splashed on the ground - don't let it fill up completely and try to clean 100% of the building!
PRO TIPS: - You can bounce off the edges of the screen, left, right, bottom and top. Use this technique to keep your momentum when switching directions! - Some low-flying birds aren't a menace, don't waste time kicking them... unless you really just want to kick ALL THE BIRDS! - You can heal two ropes at a time if you position yourself right in between the two!

Dom! I missed you! This game is freaking hilarious! I love it. Frantic and super smooth gameplay, with awesome art and sounds. Love the little references on the ground floor. And I really want to kick a bird right now. Awesome job!
Really great overall. I really like the dynamic of the game, you always have something to do and it's always possible. I guess it's what is called a great game design.
Nice little game! Take on the theme is really funny, heh. And birds! As the onion described it: “it is not unusual for one window washer to be smashing into the ground while a second flails and screams in midair and a third, somewhere above, is beginning to lose balance.” Congrats!
Really great! Gameplay is fun, and love the graphics and the music, just overall incredibly well polished. Wouldn't think it was done within 72 hours just by looking at it.
I can't decide if this is the game of the jam or the best Ludum Dare jam entry ever. Can't think of any constructive criticism as it's great in every respect. Amazing work!
This. Is my favorite. thing. evar. The sprites were da best. seriously like they suit the mood so well. I had way too much fun playing this. One of my favorites for sure.
That was great. The jetpack felt nice and loose and the game was a blast to play. I love the animations especially kicking the birds in the face. Well done!
Really epic presentation! The core mechanics works well, the gameplay is great fun. The sound and music is superb! Good use of the 10 sec theme. Enjoyed this :)
The sound design in this is really great, had me grinning the whole time haha! The controls were also really smooth, and the art cute as heck. It feels like a really complete package, all parts complimenting each other, so cool
Superb! An amazingly polished game with gorgeous art and sound. Above all, it was really fun to play - I've already spent more time on it than any other game so far. Awesome work.
Amazing! As chaos mode wore on, it almost seemed like a good idea to let the ropes wear out and just save the falling window washers. I never had to to hang out in one spot and heal the ropes.

Made me smile on the inside. Not on the outside though because fun is not allowed.
This is probably the most complete game I've seen so far! Remarkable amount of tightness and good control for such a quickly made game. Functions really well as an old-school arcade style game. Aaaand just enough weirdness to satisfy me.
Such a perfect game. This is probably the only one that I can see myself playing over and over again. I almost hate it because its so good... DAMN YOU!
This is brilliant, it's full of character and lots of fun to play. The feedback is so polished that it feels good to fly around, and the voice acting is well done!

Make me laugh a lot!
Excellent work! 5/5 in all! =)
My only complaint is that it was a bit sluggish on my computer. Super fun. Needs a high score table!
