T’was the night before Festivus and stashed in this room
Was a little device that was made to vacuum.

Roomba spent years cleaning up in good faith,
until a shiny new roombot appeared like a wraith.

The threat of replacement filled Roomba with dread,
Until visions of vengeance danced in its head.

With the Airing Of Grievances close at hand,
It was time for ol’ Roomba to take its last stand.

Devouring trinkets, destroying all in its sight ---
A rampage of revenge for Roomba’s final night.

Amazing Game! Hilarious in every way, and i loved the way the main menu operates!

The intro was super cute and creative! The game matches roomba's sounds perfectly. I love how it feels like poor roomba is dying when the battery level is critical. The overall style is great, from the menu to the scoreboard, the design is fantastic. The graphics are perfect as well. The music made me feel like I was on a noble quest to destroy all the lamps. The actual gameplay could use a little variety though, as there isn't much replay value. Overall, a cute, fun and well-executed game!

It is a fun chaos simulator! I really enjoyed smashing into the furniture. Maybe a little too basic ad far as gameplay goes. Also very funny backstory.

All hail the Roombas, the new world leaders! Absolutely fantastic and hilarious concept, which fits perfectly the Jam's theme. The art style is really solid (great lighting effects), controls are smooth and the music is fitting for some happy household mayhem. A truly enjoyable experience with a fantastic presentation, really enjoyed playing this one. Congratulations! Skynet starts with this ;)

I LOVE this game! The menu- perfect. destruction, roomba everything! I've also made a roomba game, but it's worse than this :D this is so good!

I loved the music, also used the Christmas dates to add to the game that I liked too, the interface (UI) is quite creative I liked it very much also, very good game :D good work.

Really solid gameplay and visuals. The menu was pretty clever, even if it wasn't obvious how it works at first.

I really enjoy it. Fun to play and graphics really nice.

Pretty good all around. That poem won me over from the start.

You've got some really nice touches in here. I would be cool to see a recharge mechanic along with some different sorts of challenges.

This game is really awesome! It brings the satisfaction of a good destructible environment, the story and gameplay are really unique, art, music/sounds all fit very well together! Congratulations guys, your game is a ton of fun! :D

Haha, odd thing, the stuff I liked most was the blinking lamps !
It's a bit hard to steer, but I guess it comes qith being a Roomba.

Haddy2219 Dec 2016, 23:12

I liked the transitions between levels. Pretty neat

Gipzo20 Dec 2016, 20:39

Nice game, cool menu and music. Man, those people have too much vases and lamps :)
Got more than 1000 score on second try, but game showed me only 905 - this could be a bug :)

Fun little game. Great menu & ui. Love the poetry. Well done.

Pretty fun and complete entry. Smashing things is always entertaining. The last few percent of energy making my movement slow down so much was infuriating a few times. "Noo, so close!" :D

Good graphics, both in the game and the design of the menu. Sound and music were good as well.

nice concept, really fun. The controls felt a bit stiff though. Is there a way to recharge Roomba?
