Did you ever feel like you would like to be a robotic vacuum cleaner?
Well, here is your chance!
Clean the house, One Room at a time while listening to relaxing music.
Clean up all the dust but don't run out of energy.
Return to your power station to recharge whenever you feel the need.
Did we mention that you have a bad memory?
You may remember the chair to be in that spot, but it probably is somewhere else now.
The dust may also be someplace other than you remember seeing it.
But with the patented robotic patience you will manage to clean all rooms.

Just don't wake up the cat.
Seriously. Don't. We mean it.
And stay away from those puddles.

Controls: WASD or arrow keys or Gamepad to move. M to mute vacuum.

This is my favourite of the competition so far. The musical choice is excellent, the fact that the sound of the dustinator is someone breathing, the fixed third person view and nice relaxed gameplay- it's great, I very much enjoyed. Thanks.

@team_disposable: thank you for comment. It is nice to hear that you enjoyed our game.

I get the relaxing part, but please, there are plenty of free sounds, no need to kill a guy breathing in a microphone. The game is cool but it lacks some gameplay.

Good job!

It was only a couple of levels in a realized the sounds was just a guy, made me laugh. Was a nice relaxing game, cats were not as scary as I thought they would be lol

iRobot Rumba simulator! Nice!

Cant believe somebody actually created this, awesome. Good job guys!

Nice take of the theme !I really enjoyed to clean the rooms :) The music is relaxing, and the sound makes me laugh! Well designed world too ! The only correction needed is about the cats who are transparent and walk backward.

Dont forget azerty keyboards :)

@Louspirit: actually, arrow keys and gamepad work just as well. I just forgot to write it into the description ;)
And the transparent kitties in the library are supposed to be ghosts. We just didn't have the time to show it better. We had plkanned for some sounds for the kitties, but well, time was up.

@everyone: thank you all very much for your comments. They are much appreciated.

Great, a roomba simulator. I got stuck below a chair once, but I own a roomba myself and my roomba also does that all the time... so lets call it a feature ;). Great work

fun sound effect and idea for a game. Controlling the vacuum was a bit akward.

Really nice, absolutely hilarious and great in every facet. Good music, good gameplay, really good mood. Scary cat. Was wondering if the clipping chairs/tables were on purpose?

gilead21 Dec 2016, 17:05

The audio made me smile. The biggest sources of frustration were the teleporting table and not being able to look up/down. Also when I finally decided to run out of battery, I was unable to do anything except close the game.

Mr MadCatauthor22 Dec 2016, 10:50

@ZirconCode: Well, you know, those robots don't know physics. They don't know that objects shouldn't clip ;)
@gilead: Yeah, we messed up the restrictions of the tbale's movement. But there should be a restart button when you run out of battery.

Funny! I had a dust bunny spawn under the sofa, so I could not finish a level, but this is a unique idea. Congrats.

Dejvo22 Dec 2016, 14:24

nice one! I too have made a roomba game

Captain Awesome22 Dec 2016, 20:50

lolol, a vacuum platformer. That's a great idea.

Nice "O" and game ;) .

This is really a fun game. I love the audio and graphics of the game. The vacuum audio was hilarious. Really enjoyed the game. Overall a nice game. Keep it up!

This is the second roomba-game in a row I rate. Roombas are in this year (or rather.. last year)!

This is a very relaxing experience. I would however have preferred if the music just kept rolling between levels, instead of sharply cutting the way they do now.
