I would be a terrible roomba. Very nicely made game Good job.

Great idea! Some obstacle interaction seemed unfair, but that's what underwear and socks can do to you, if you are a robo-vacuum

Great job!

Oh, very cute game! I almost got a four‑day result, but there are pants in the corner… 😄

Loved the original idea ! Took me 7days to clean the floor because I kept running into dirty socks 😶

Maybe be a bit more permissive on the last percent of exploration could make the game feel less tedious during the last minute or so ? I had troubles to find the last 00,1 percent
Other than that it is a really cool game !

Very interesting!

Very cute game! I had trouble at 99,9% finding that last bit of the map I missed and always having to recharge. I personally would have increased the battery, and had more obstacles in place. But I really enjoyed playing!

Nice would  like to connect it to my roborock to make the cleaning fun!

Super Creative, loved the little Roomba, and the gameplay is different and fun. Great Job!

I ate so many socks! 😂 Amazing game!! It took me 11 days to clean everything... Hopefully, I’ll do better after playing for 11 days straight!

Thanks!

The idea is awesome and perfect for the theme. Robovac is super cute. I'd suggest lowering the threshold for completing "100%" slightly. It must've took me about 3 days to find the missing pixel hahah

This really makes me want to by a robot vaccum! I wish it was a little more forigiving with finding every square inch of the house, and I wish the theme was a little more front and center. Fun little game thats full of charm and delight, with amazing visuals and sound. Well done!

Great artwork, sound and music! I loved the idea of the game.

The textbox obscured the vision a bit, I could have been more patient but wanted to vacuum away.
The obstacles were tricky, I would have loved a mechanic around disposing of them so that it was clearer how to interact with them.

Overall it was great, it took me 8 days to map the whole floor :)
Edit: Had to go back and try and beat my score 6 days now :D. The hitboxes of the obstacles are a bit confusing.

I like the artwork and overall aesthetic of the game. Nice job!

I have way more respect for my vaccum now...

I mean what isn't there to like:
- Cool fog of war mechanic (pain to code i'm sure)

- Art, palette, sounds = perfect for this game. DAMN HE IS SO CUTE LOOK AT HIS FACE

 - A cool, simple concept executed very well, perfect for a jam !

- Nearly forgot: the writing is clever and funny 

Some feedback:

- Maybe let me off the hook for the .5% i didn't find for 5 days (lower the ceiling a tiny bit) xD

- Doors were not intuitive, couldn't spot immediatly where to pass and where not.


Great job, i hope u had fun doing it !
