You control a vacuum robot and need to get the room clean again.
The vacuum only moves one square at a time.
Each move consumes 1 battery.
When you run out of battery you need to return to a recharge station (the vacuum teleports there).
There are 3 recharge stations in the room.

The room is initially unexplored.
However, there are some hints to guide you:
- Dust is surrounded by lint
- Recharge stations are surrounded by cables

Control: mouse only.
No sound.

You needed 247 moves :) Nice idea and neat graphics! I like the random placement of additional recharge stations so it's always a fresh new challenge.

76 moves for me, really fun

Very good! It reminds me a lot of minefield, it took me a while to get the idea in the beginning, and the controls were a bit confused at first time.

Cute idea and solid execution -- aside from the somewhat unconventional controls

109 moves. At first tries I assumed you have to save batteries for the trip back :-)

Also didn't realise i didn't need the battery to get back.
good idea.nice

Neat idea. My best run was 71 moves. I think you could have a really neat puzzle game if you added some constraints, like furniture you had to get around, and maybe a move limit. Or maybe somehow make it so the player always has to get to a charging station before their power runs out. Keyboard controls would have been nice to have.

90 moves, that was fun, good work :)

The game is done well, but I don't like that it is mostly random. There are hints like lint and cables, but basically you have to go everywhere.
