The graphic and sound effect are good. But I think the game is a little bit slow, maybe make the kid spawn more often is a good idea.

I like how they just run and randomly drop stuff. I wanted to suck up them and throw their face outside haha.
The game is indeed pretty slow and there's a thing that I found disappointing : you can't throw things away by the windows. I really think the game would've been better if it was faster but you could a lot of ways to throw toys outside, this would have make the all game dynamic.
However, that's a cute game and it felt good to try it out :)

Hey @saering, thanks for playing! Just wanted to let you know you can throw things out the windows. They just have to be opened first by standing real close and pressing E. Then you can throw stuff out! :D

@kciwsolb Oh okay my bad then, I actually managed to throw a toy out a window but without opening it (just by running into it) so I didn't think of using E ! :p

damn this cleaning is cruel (tried to throw things into little people's faces, didn't do nothing)

I can't wait for "Mommy Hates Playday 2: When Moms fight back". It was a fun little game, 3 main things stood out to me though. No item pick up sound so it was difficult to tell when I actually sucked something up, mouse sensitivity option - vital for this kind of game and also if the mum picks up TRASH it doesn't count as making the house cleaner? Only when you throw it out. I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, just pointing it out. Otherwise, yeah, I had fun!

Heya @call-me-nutty, just hit escape when playing and there is a slider for mouse sensitivity! I implemented sound effects kinda late. A sound for when an items enters the vacuum was on the list, but it got lost somewhere in the last minute rush. Oh and it not counting when you pick it up is intentional. You gotta get it all the way out of the house. :D Thanks for playin!

The idea is very good! It was pretty fun to play. The only think to say is that the game would have been better if it was a little bit more dynamic. By the way, I have such a nice moment playing your game. Nice work!

this game is hilarious, love the concept. the only issue for me was the mouse movement was super fast. but i see a comment where you mention mouse sensitivity. great game overall

Really fun idea. The graphics are great as well as the overall mood of the game. I also had issues with super fast look speed, so I got a headache really fast.

interesting idea. I like follow the children and see what are they doing. and it's also funny when something big stuck in the window.

A very fun idea that I think a lot of people would like. Plus it is implemented really well. Only feedback I have is that the mouse sensitivity may be a bit too much. Another cool idea is to vacuum up the kids LOL.
