Great game! At the start of the competition I was joking around with a friend about making a game where you're a roomba that has to clean a room. I'm so glad someone actually made it (and a lot better than I could have). :D

Great job, love the music!

Looks great, love everything about it :P

This was such a pleasant surprise. Really fun little game. Love LOVE the graphics, especially the cute roomba

I Lol'ed. The music is pretty awesome as well :-) I went three more days after you said you were out of things to say, just to make sure :-P

This game is hilarious. I loved your take on the theme. Also the music is super catchy. It makes waiting to get all the messages enjoyable.

This is real cute. Very nice. Only wish it was a bit more challenging to pick stuff up.

Hahaha, the text was the payoff.
Thought at first there might be some environmental narrative in the things you had to clean up, but the text worked as well too. :)

This game put a big smile on my face :)

im not sure if im more surprised that you made a critique of the ludum dare theme through the use of a roomba or that i vaccuumed for over 30 days. great soundtrack too!

God dammit, Bush!
Surprisingly good entry, considering how over the theme you were. Music/sound is perfect. Really got me hyped for cleaning! The text and speech SFX were spot on, too.
You could have done a lot more with the room, like more events and stuff, but the narrative and vibe were somehow enough to keep me going.
Good job, lol.
And now I'm curious about Managore's entry.

Anti-games only work when it's clear that there is a lot of effort put into the joke/parody, so this works super well. The text is perfectly captivating and dumb, and little things like the movement being diagonal-only add to the humor. The graphics are great as usual and the music loop is super addictive. Even though it's designed to waste the player's time, it doesn't feel like a waste of time as a player.

gosh that art is so charming. and the music too! oh man
but one of the nice days i didn't get any text :(. what a sad day
despite the lack of content and gameplay, it's still a nice little game. well done :)

Lovely. I enjoyed that soundtrack so much. This made today just a bit happier for me! Thanks for that.
Patacorow15 Dec 2016, 13:08
The music and the graphics are so charming!
great writing, you made me smile when the text "talked" about the LD themes and "the entire game on one screen".
And yeah managore did made other masterpiece!.
Realy liked the game good job one again :D

Second "roomba" game I have played but this was outstanding. Great work with audio, nice pixel art and fun controls. Level 7 and 14 had me laughing. Really well done
Sean15 Dec 2016, 13:34
This is adorable! The soundtrack in particular made the whole thing a very pleasant playthrough.
One major criticism: I didn't realize I had to go back to the charging station to end the day at first. I actually was about to rate and move on when I saw that people were clearly commenting on more than what I'd seen and gave it another shot. I'm glad I did because this turned out to be one my favourites so far, but I'm worried some people might make the same mistake.

I have absolutely no idea how such a simple thing could keep me up for 35 ingame days.
It's super cute! Graphics and music are real nice. Writing was a little too surreal ahah. Good work. :)

I spent too long playing this. I finished it. I was prepared to go to level 100 had there been one!
Excellent game! Great work! :)

It was FUN.?. I actually i liked the graphics and how these banners always told me I did something right even though is just did something minor

Notester15 Dec 2016, 18:56
Cute game~ c: I liked all of the tricks you threw in there, caught me off-guard every time!
Greek8516 Dec 2016, 11:06
oh! Nice! And it's also online! Can I find it on indiexpo? I'm making videos about the games of this Jam, but only about the games hosted also on indiexpo.net! Tell me if you will add it, so I can include it in my next video ;)

Love graphics and music but have a question... how many text/stages there are??? got to stage 13 and tired.

lupusinsanus17 Dec 2016, 19:17
I want it on GBC! I really liked, is there an end? I love the art style. The person that live here is really messy. Congrat

xclementx17 Dec 2016, 20:21
Beautiful, Really fun to play, good music... Well done !!

David Cookie17 Dec 2016, 22:12
Like everyon else, I wonder if there is an end! xD I was surprised to keep on playing just to see the differents messages, it's really a nice value ^^
It's a fun and cute little game, very charming! Well done.

Amen to that.

Lovely graphics, fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/8ZKn12Y_qVg

Very very chill entry. There's something oddly zen about cleaning up, and it feels like if this was an application just chilling on my desktop all day I'd appreciate it just the same.
Intelli-Gents22 Dec 2016, 03:20
You had me going until day 64 :) Pretty impressive that you can keep me captivated for that long. You know you're a good designer when you can do something as simple as take a away a piece of trash and make it interesting for the player :)

radmars25 Dec 2016, 05:01
Haha, nice! Graphics are really great (though I maybe would've liked to see the game at 2x scaling) and the music & sound effects were awesome too, I love the style. One minor gameplay issue I had was that at first I didn't realize I had to go back to base to finish the day, but that's obvious in retrospect. I was wondering if this was just gonna be a meditation on the repetitive life of a roomba, and then... though honestly I would've preferred the meta-stuff to start a little earlier, at least for this LD format. One day I wish to get a shoutout on a 0x01010111 game! Gave up after day 35 :P Nice work!

A passing mention of Trump, and a casual promotion of Managore!? This entry is edgy!!1!
;)
Nah, just kidding. Quite an adorable entry. Has a very, "The Stanley Parable" feel to it, where you just want to torture yourself just to see what happens next. Neat stuff!

I can't believe I played this silly little Roomba game all the way to the end. Well done, sir!
I also can't believe there actually WAS an end. (Thank you for being a kind, merciful soul)

I also included this game in an article of my favorites! http://fireside.gamejolt.com/post/jam-favorites-ludum-dare-37-gwqmcmek



Playing Spring Cleaning, it has a strikingly Earthbound-esque style to it. The music is great as well. Probably the cutest LD game I've played!
