Nice! Maybe I'm just bad but I ended up having to sit beside the charger because my power was running out very quickly. I didn't have a chance to go out and clean. The game looks fantastic though and the the animations are very smooth.

This was actually a pretty interesting game! I really liked the idea. I felt that the charger drained too quick so it was a bottleneck to the gameplay. But otherwise the models looked awesome and it was just fun overall! My high score was 11.

I like the idea of the game it is cool. Congraturations. I just had a bug with the robot and it is that even if I was not pressing the rotation key, he was rotating by his own.

I loved the idea, But the charger drained too fast

I have tuned the difficulty now,battery drains at the same rate but the charger charges quickly.
And thanks for playing it :)

I bit difficult, probably you could work a bit on the controller. Anyway, I think it is a really cool idea. Also it is nice to see some 3D :)

There is a bit problem with health. The health bar capacity keeps on decreasing. Difficulty level increase suddenly.

Gameplay is very fun. Animation is very good.

I was able to cheat my way through game by laying there near charger and cleaning nearby spots while further spots accumulated. Then I gone there and cleaned them in one go. My high score is 23.

Good graphics, and enjoyable gameplay.
Why robot continues to charge on pad when robot's battery full?

Thanks @bogreen!
When its battery is fully charged,it works off the energy gained directly from the charger

Cute game! Liked the graphics and the theming of the game. Think having the battery eventually drain wasn't the best design decision - I feel like not cleaning splats up in time should have been the lose condition, rather than your power running out. Had a few issues with hitboxes when cleaning a spot directly south of me, but otherwise played smoothly. Good job!

Nice gameplay and graphics. It'd be better though if the drain of battery affected vision, or movement.

Great graphics, cool entry.

BUGS :bug:

* However, I think there is some bug, because when I play the game, the battery drains at a VERY VERY slow speed. I made over 150 and got bored.
* The area which the robot can sweep is weirdly decided to say the least, when walking straight vertically, there was no problem. However, when I started walking diagonally, sometimes some spot way behind my broom was cleaned, sometimes something diagonal to my current location, but most of the times, nothing was cleaned at all.
* Sometimes, the robot starts rotating in strange ways. (No, I'm not talking about what happens when you click a button and the computer fails to detect keyUp event)

SUGGESTIONS :envelope:

You should have added some more elements, to make the game more enjoyable. I don't think adding something like a bomb would have been difficult, considering that it's a jam entry.

Nevertheless, a good entry.
