*Bother the dust bunnies!*

ℹ️ About


I was ill this LD so I wasn't able to really make a game, but a silly toy came out of it! Now I need to rest…

The original idea was that the dust bunnies are shooting a movie and the animatronic robot isn't very reliable. You were supposed to be able to put actors and extras on their starting positions and give them some actions to perform, and then roll the cameras. Oh, well!

Tip


Every time you click the "hero" button the camera will refocus on the dust bunny most at risk of being vacuumed up! If it does, the next one will be chosen. If none are left, it goes back to "facecam".

🕹 Controls


Mouse only. Click the UI buttons.

Click somewhere to turn in that direction.

Click and drag to place things on the floor:

* Left-click for dust.
* Right-click for boxes.

🛠️ Fixes


* The "hero" cam was quite broken. I basically just removed code from it and made it not try to be so clever.
* "Click to turn" was broken because "hold and drag" took priority. Added a threshold.
