Vacuum Cleaner Simulator by Jasuse

[raw]
made by Jasuse for Ludum Dare 47 (JAM)

Even cleaner gets bored with routine work. Perhaps it will be able to get out of it in this game.

Couldn't get your game to load on web :( It seems super interesting though!

HTML5 Version didn't work, but at least now I know how to be a vacuum cleaner xD

I was expecting something to happen after 2 or 3 updates :( I think the idea has great potential, but the way it's implemented, I got bored.

On day 7 I rebelled myself and tried leaving the room, but that was not possible.
But as I said, it have the potential

Really clever! I won't spoil the ending, but figuring out how to escape vacuum hell was incredibly satisfying. Fun graphics as well. I feel so much more empathy for my ro*mba now. Great job. :-)

This was a fun game! I couldn't figure out how to escape, but I had fun playing.

Fun game and cool graphics. The fact that you can't move to the sides and you only can rotate its a bit annoying, but assuming that its a vacuum makes sense haha. Some background music would help to make it more entertaining. But overall I liked it, good work :)

The movement represent perfectly the movement on an actual vacuum cleaner robot, i have one and can relate xD

I always wanted to get a vacuum cleaner robot, but my rooms are just too crammed for one to work properly, so I'm thankful for the opportunity to at least simulate a vacuum cleaner. Didn't expect I would be able to wreak havoc like a real one, though! I laughed out loud at the ending, didn't see this coming at all. :D Very funny and well made, I really enjoyed this.

Being a vacuum is just about as fun as it seems. XD
The level design is very well done. Due to the dim lighting, I kept imagining something sinister would happen. ^^'
I tried to rebel but all my attempts have failed thus far. But I'm not giving up.
Good job! :)

Clever ! Graphics and lights really give the mood, and the idea really fits the theme. But for me, the very slow movements made it a little annoying. The comments made me try to find the ending, but I would have stopped soon as it seemed to be only a boring simulator.
It has potential though ! :) and damn, that atmosphere is well done !

After seven days I figured out the ending :laughing: I was hoping to escape the house and have a giant world revealed to me. Nonetheless, very well done.

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus) ! I had a lot of fun playing your entry. Great game, did not dissapoint, this is a roomba simulator ! Somehow it's relaxing as heck to be a duster-bot. I loved the atmosphere, well done ! :) Rebelling roomba's... I'll be watching that charging station out of the corner of my eye now <_<

Ahah nice idea, being a vacuum cleaner, that's funny!
I didn't like the controls though, but I get that's how a vaccum cleaner is supposed to move so ok
The corrupted ending is pretty funny, but it lacked some objects to destroy I think! All I could do was destroying the TV, and I was "Stuck in a loop" at day 5, I don't know if something else is supposed to happen ^^;
I liked it, good idea, and the graphic style is neat, good job!

Very cool concept. Just needs a bit of polishing from various sides. The core is interesting. Would be better to have maybe more modern styled interior or even office space as Roombas and other robots seems to be common in such spaces :) Also maybe make the robot more modern (nice battery indicators on 3D Model and WiFi panel as well) and work around the bumpers as they are kinda defining in the cleaning bots. Good job nontheless! Keep it up!

Cool concept! Like I said on stream showing the player what he has to do would add a lot! All in all, I had fun once I knew I could destroy everything. Great job!
