It's time to do your laundry! Remember to clean out the dryer's lint screen, and don't forget to IM to your friends about your wonderful adventure in the laundromat!
Too busy to wait for your current cycle to finish? Don't worry - you can close the game and come back later to collect your laundry.
The laundromat owners are not responsible for lost or stolen items, so please don't leave your clothes unattended for too long!
Laundry Day was created via a collaborative effort between the members of Tech Valley Game Space, an inclusive game development group and co-working space located in Troy, NY. The Space Cadets who contributed to the game include: * Jamey Stevenson (Spoony Bird) * Taro Omiya (Omiya Games) * Anthony Rossello (Brightstar) * Ampera * Chase Bethea * Terence Tolman * Phillip Demick * Keith Morgado (Binary Takeover)
Clever idea, but the game sort of locked up for me. I clicked on the phone and then opened a washer and both UIs were open. Then I could never leave the phone screen.
Nice sound, good idea and implementation, but the chatting thing did not work, i sent two messages and nothing ever came back, so i guess i kind of didn't see the whole point you wanted to make?

Haha very fun (and very boring of course :P) little game! Why not doing the laundry while playing other Ludum Dare games? :D
No problems, @spacedoubt, I knew you meant that in a positive. I was joking that one of the trinkets you can collect in the lint screen is "a sad feeling."
Well this was weirdly fun but the implementation is well done (especially the random stuff you can find in the lint traps) and you do have the theme nailed down really well.
Surprisingly fun! I love the feel of the game, and the stuff you find in the lint trap. Probably has the maximum "fun you're having" to "coolness of the thing you're doing" ratio.
Got to 101 Coins fun game but it could of had some kind of mechanic where you payed monthly rent or something to spice the game up a bit. Got pretty boring is all. Played on stream and was fun! http://www.twitch.tv/integershift
This is actually pretty cool. I like the premise but I ended making huge laundries to gather lots of objects so that I could send text messages. Huge laundries taking more time I spent most of my time waiting :) Weird and in the end very close to the actual laundry day feeling. Well done.
I found this game a little odd. I found myself waiting a little too much. eg the first cycle took like 2 minutes+ and I had nothing to really do. The text messages were a little slow and locked up one time. Still, there is a certain charm to this game.
Very humorous game concept, I kept finding myself washing clothes over and over without really know why I keep putting them back in! That's a sign of a great game!
I wish I had a pile of trinkets or something so I can look through see what I've gotten and how many I need
I found it interesting how sometimes a compelling narrative would be revealed through the phone/items every once in a while. I liked that approach and even though the game can be random it felt personal at times.
I was wondering where exactly those clothes were coming from however. I could swear I was just washing the same ones over and over haha.
Nice job on the audio too, everything was perfectly mundane. Matched the setting pretty well.
This was goofy, and reminded me a bit of Work Time Fun, but there's a surprisingly nice friend on the other end of that phone that boosts the Mood score for this game too.
It feels silly to say this about a laundry simulator, but I'm really, really impressed. Amazing job!
