Endless cleaner by Alidar40

[raw]
made by Alidar40 for LD 42 (JAM)

Tons of garbage come from pipes mounted to wall and fill the room.

You are armed with Garbage Disposal Device (GDD).

How long can you hold out until you drown in this trash??

tutorial.jpg

Energy is consumed while the GDD working. Energy may be restored by collecting batteries. Energy also restores by itself, but its restoring rate is very slow.

The GDD heats while using. If it's get overheated wait until it cooled down.

The GDD can be also upgraded. To do so find the chip in the trash heap.

Controls

WASD - Movement

Left mouse button - turn on the GDD

Space - Jump

Had a similar idea but didn't go with it but glad someone did :D just needed more batteries around since you can run out of power pretty fast, but other than that had a good time sucking up trash.

Good concept, really like the aesthetic of the trash, agree with figjig though, maybe needed batteries to be more common?

Fun idea, and a solid presentation, but there really isn't enough energy to keep it going for long. The game needs to provide a more regular supply of batteries, and maybe a (slow) automatic recharge. Once you run out of juice, the game just **stops**, long before it gets hectic. I imagine it getting really crazy as you try to keep up with the mess, but as it is right now the game never gets there.

This is a pretty interesting idea! Good job on making this.

Funny idea! The vacuuming is a little fiddly. When I hit space after the game is over, nothing happens (Web version).

Pretty nice idea. The battery runs out fast, and the GDD heats up a little too quickly. Still had fun with it.

Pros:
* The concept was fun.
* I liked the music and vacuum noises.
* It felt good to get rid of the trash.

Cons:
* I ended up getting stuck on a pile of garbage and found it hard to get out.
* It was hard to tell sometimes if my vacuum was working since the sound didn't play all the time.
* The cake was a little confusing. Can it not be vacuumed?

Nice job!

* physics on the objects was troublesome when looking down - they get stuck.
* interesting game play concept.

@figjig @galan @squaredev We increased number of batteries and the GDP's energy consumption is reduced.

@nenas Problem with space button is fixed

Thanks for feedback!

The slippery controls really made the game harder than it actually was.

I personally didn't think the music matched the game very much.

Though a nice concept!

A really cool game, I enjoyed this I like having a battery instead of being able to just hold down the mouse button and win.

@astericon Thanks for the comment, we've added a tutorial. You can see it when the game starts

constantly ran out of energy and couldnt select the upgrade i wanted, other than that, its a nice spin on the theme, my highscore is 3661 :)

I can't find batteries so I just couldn't do anything! Otherwise it has been quite fun playing your game. I like the 3d models you made. Would be great if you can polish the gameplay a bit more.

Quite an interesting upgrade system.

Good job on the game! I like the idea but I found myself running out of battery power very quickly, it would be handy if there was some sort of passive battery gain so that you don't just run out completely and can't sniff up the batteries on the floor.

Nice improvement with the battery drop rate. I still find myself going for batteries almost exclusively, but it definitely feels more proactive now.

I read all your instructions, but couldnt figure out how to be careful about energy :(
Besides that very cool idea and graphics!

Great Job! I never thought cleaning could be fun lol.

I think I randomly died but the message went away because I was clicking to vacuum up garbage. Not sure how I died. It was funny to scrounge through trash to find batteries that I desperately needed, though.

A good game idea, the music should be improved. The graphics are good.
Try our game too, maybe you'll like it)

The graphics and UI could have used a bit of work but other than that, great job for a jam game!

Concept is very nice. It can use some better controls .... right now it gets a bit difficult for a simple operation like picking up can you have to struggle a bit hard... aim at the right place play the right button. instead of sucking action simple button could have done it.
