The way you interpreted the theme is really interesting! Maybe hold back on the amount of clothes spawns or allow to pickup similar looking clothing. The game becomes overwhelming quickly.

Very good idea and very original interpretation of the theme. Maybe the clothes fall too fast though. Finding the third requested has been almost impossible for me.

I though this was a unique approach to the theme of this jam. The pacing of the game felt a bit fast. Other than that well done

The audio is a 5/5 for me. As a father of 4, this perfectly captures the never ending pile of laundry with kids constantly yelling for a parent. Well done!

The audio is hilarious! Really cool way of interpreting the theme that also resulted in a novel gameplay. I would have wished that there is some visual feedbach when you click on an item that looks like the one you are looking for but is another one. Great work!

Great and unique interpretation of the theme. This was an accurate simulation of digging through a pile of clothes searching for something, haha. The fact that there are similar clothes but I have to pick the right one with no visual distinction is frustrating. And the clothes did fall rather quickly, especially when they fell right as I was clicking. Also loved the audio, it really set the mood. Great job. :)

Oh cool, a scratch game! I used to make a lot of scratch games. It's a cool idea, the duplicate clothes thing were they can look the same is a bit irritating though, but apart from that I really liked it, well done! :D

OMG. this game is so stressful. the clothes came in faster than i could search. i could feel myself becoming a parent myself with each new item.
"MOM MOM MOM MOM" - "yes my dear? please stfu!" :'D
funny game and unique idea for this theme. well done!

This is a really fun take on the theme (and way more part of my daily life then I would like to admit). It was a lot of fun digging to the bottom of the pile for something that I knew I had seen a couple of items ago, although I sometimes felt that there were duplicates of exactly the same item. It may have been a cool addition to have somewhere to put the clothing to get it off of the pile so it was not impossible to get back to the bottom. I thought that the dryer sound in the background was perfect for the game. Overall I think this a great entry to this game jam, well done!

Wow great job, I really love the interpretation of the theme here! Super creative! It was hilarious that you included all of those sounds as well. It definitely got pretty chaotic and overwhelming with it spawning clothes indefinitely and not slowing down. I also had problems sometimes clicking on the clothes where I clearly found it but it would not register. I wasnt sure if the orientation of the item mattered too. Regardless, awesome job!

The game is super simple and the clothes duplicates are really confusing, but it has a very interesting idea!

@ryan-dotsikas and everyone else - There can be duplicate clothes, so you click it and it doesn't count because there's another identical piece that's the right one. Sorry we didn't have time to figure out a way to distinguish everything.

In fact, I adore all kinds of clothes, like those same beautiful T-shirts. Here just finished the summer season and I can say that I looked very cool because I wore stylish things and if you are also interested I can help with that. For example if you need t-shirts, here on [Master Bundles](https://masterbundles.com/best-t-shirts/) you can find 50 different ones with cool and unique designs, see for yourself how stylish they look. I bought them for myself and for my brother. So I hope I was able to help!
