So glad you guys are back!
Good night for now, though! :smile:

Fun and funny game. One thing that could be improved is the platforming. Jumps felt too short for their height. Otherwise a great and charming game.

Very cool game!

Haha, this is funny. Could be some mobile game. ^^

Good game, I liked the idea of washing windows and having to dodge all these different things.
But I didn't really understand the theme of every 10 seconds.
I thought maybe the platform moves every 10 seconds or you have to dodge something every 10 seconds, but when I counted it wasn't 10 seconds.
Or I'm just bad at telling time idk.
Have I missed something?
But good game, I liked it :)

A lot of personality in the graphics and the in-game events, really nice humor in the game 🙌

Cool game idea, I like the different enemies. It was a little hard to jump between the platforms and the game slowed down a little when I had cleaned everything on a row but had to wait for the platform to move up and down. Awesome entry, nice work!

Very funny game, it keeps you smiling while random things happens. I enyojed, it's very short

@finn-pickart Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed the game :smile:.
As to the 10 seconds - our first connection to it was the 'fact' that every 10 seconds a window washer falls to his death (as per the linked 'study'). However, we found that that is an enormous death toll of window washers :wink:.

@fabula-rasa Ah okay I got it.
That's pretty creative with the window washers fact.
I wouldn't have thought of this

This is a cool game! I love all the little details, like the fact that pizza spawns when a drone is hit by one of the falling window cleaners. :grin: The attention to detail is really outstanding!

My only complaint is that i almost did not play past the first level, because at first I did not realize that I could make the jump to the far right window.

Also I appreciate the linux build. :thumbsup:

I had a lot of fun playing the game, especially with the older person with the cane. I didn't understand how the 10 second theme applies in the game. But it plays pretty well.

Love it, the art, the music and game :D Very well done, can't say what to change to make it better. :thumbsup:

Fun little game, and cute graphics! I really hope the fatality rate of window washers is not that bad! Oh and I love the game name... simple yet adds to the cuteness somehow :)

A simple game, yet very well executed. I love it.

Really funny use of theme. I love the little detail of the rope bouncing as it moves position. You have a good variety of obstacles The gangsters shooting at each other from different windows has to be my favorite. Would love to this expanded with more levels and introduce new mechanics. Maybe different cleaning tools and zooming out farther to show more windows. Very well polished. I had a fun time playing Great job!

It's so satisfying to clean a window, mix it with a fun platformer; and you have a great game. Well done!

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

I like game dynamic environment of game. The way game tries resist player goal is realised awesome.
The game graphics and sounds makes my eyes and ears feel good.
Thank you for the submition of yours!

The two gangsters shooting each other made me laugh loudly^^
very funny game! Just one question: Why Grandma are so mean?!

Really cool idea, simple and well executed !

Balancing is good, it was challenging but I managed to reach the end without frustration :thumbsup:

Well, I did not realise being a window washer was so dangerous :smile:

It was a nice game to play !

@roroto-sic Well: her pension is late, her left knee has been hurting since Thanksgiving, her stew is too salty and her children insist on calling her not even close to often enough. And to top it all off, some dastardly redhead is jumping in front of her window. That was just the last straw. "Get off my lawn" - the grandma thought, even though she had no lawn, and she went to fetch her trusty cane.

Very well made, I think it's one of the best I've tried so far!

that old hag... aaargh

I can dodge bullets, drop kick drones out of the sky, leap over birds, and dive out of the way of falling objects... but that old lady... she scares me.

Great game! I loved the 2d vector look, I haven't seen as much of that style but it looks very polished and professional. Very fun style and vibe. I did give up on the second level because it's quite slow to clean all the windows, and waiting for the platforms to move feels very slow, and I have the attention span of a squirrel, so when I got all the way to the end of a level only to die on the last window, I couldn't quite bring myself to go through the entire thing again. That's probably just me.

Well done!

Cute little game, wish I could operate the lift myself as it being automatic frustrated me a bit

**Thanks, everyone, for playing and for feedback!** We're glad you enjoyed the game and didn't run away from the scary grandma.
@ladymeow @chillertyp @theorioli @don-fouts @gonzalol @incd021 @bcmpinc @i-wrote-it-myself @epeachyband @pikario @dahut @sterco-raro


@joshua-denk You might be correct. This was our first attempt at any kind of platforming :grin:

@ugghmaster Thanks for pointing this out. Maybe I should have added a second arrow pointing to that window as well to make it more obvious. Probably would help :smile:

@dp3rucha Our connection to the theme is in the fact from the study we quote at the start of the game (which I now added to the description page to make it more clear - thank you for pointing out that it wasn't really :)). Originally, we also had events spawning every 10 seconds to reinforce the theme further, but it turned out to be not often enough on later levels, so we decreased the timer there (and it's cheated 'every 10 seconds' now :wink:)

@picusbgames Don't worry about the brave window washers - the quoted study is extremely unreliable :laughing: I'm glad you like the title!

@paul-avallone We had a lot of ideas for various obstacles and boons on our list. This concept really lends itself to creativity. We implemented as many as we managed in the jam time. Various cleaning tools are a nice idea!

@triangletriangle The old lady is indeed the scariest. When she takes her cane in hand, men tremble. I'm very happy you like the look of the game! As to the slowness of window cleaning, you might not be the only one. It was mentioned by one more person - so there is at least two of you :wink: It might be that we indeed made it a bit too slow. However, making it faster would probably affect the balance and could make the game too easy. It would require some testing.

@beefbone The initial concept was actually for the player to operate the lift himself. However, we decided to change it to the automatic movement to provide more platforming elements.

All glory to the Hypnotoad, once more :D

Loved what you made out of that Onion article!

Very solid gameplay with very sensible progression and even a learning experience - While in hindsight it makes total sense a Pizza delivery drone will drop... Pizza, making the connection myself that the drone differs from the bird in that way was still a very welcome surprise... in the last level with one heart left. :'D

Also as always - big fan of the unique art style! The environmental art and backgrounds really sold the setting!

the neighbors are so fucking rude 🙄 cute adorable little game i like it <3

Awesome job with this clever title! I love the intro with the headline from the onion, brilliant! But I had a lot of fun playing this, it controlled really well and I loved seeing what new and different obstacles/attacks would occur and how the next level would be designed. It was unfortunate to have to just wait for the platform to move to get the end of that last window, but that's just all part of it. Great job!

@trexxak
I was wondering if drone wouldn't be too hard to read. In hindsight, that pizza box/label should have been probably bigger and draw attention.

There's also a secret ending, and since it's not too obvious it's a secret, I wonder if anyone got it 😅

This game is very well made, congratulations! I wish I had better feedback to give... The only annoyance I had was the jump not working while the wash button is pressed, but that is easily avoidable. After reading about the secret ending I went back to try to find it, but I could not. I guess it is very well hidden, haha

It's a good game. Simple, but very polished. The last level is a bit long and gets repetitive, but it's a good game overall. Good job!

An Amazing Idea ! I love the art ! Well Done :)

A secret ending?? Now I have to play again XD Pretty fun game, and it feels clean (no pun). The obstacles are funny haha. Hope you had fun making it!

Thanks for submitting this game! I really enjoyed playing this. Great art, well polished and really fun.

Poor girl. Apparently the whole city wants to see this young lady dead! Was is up with this city anyway? Corpses flying from buildings, people shooting parrots?! Anyway.
It was fun and challenging! I find the first major jump to the dirty window quite difficult. I would loved a little sparkle effect and sfx when a window is successfully cleaned! Also the levels were quite long. Maybe shorter ones but more? It's a flavour thing I guess. Oh and it took me way to long to figure out you can jump on drones and get pizza! Maybe a hint would be nice. The game and the visuels were quite charming! The music was fitting. Enjoyed it overall.

Great entry. Movement felt very nice. BGM also very fitting. Graphics also looked very nice. There is nothing bad to say here. Well done.

Dissapointed no flower pot ever hit a drone as in real life.
As much as i'm indifferent to platformers, this was great fun!)

Also please normalise babusya-yellow bucket interaction

Nicely done on the visual style and sound effects. Goofy and fun. Jumping onto birbs was probably the most entertaining thing to do. I just wish jumping was more responsive, especially while I'm pressing (or just about letting go) of other keys.

[Stream vod here!](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1611166734?t=03h28m20s)

This was a pretty good entry! It is a complete package and nothing feels out of place. That is a great accomplishment for a jam game.

The only major feedback I have is that the level design could use some work. In some levels it is a bit annoying to have to wait for the "elevator" to move multiple times so you can get to those last windows. I would have hoped to see more platforming routes between windows so that the elevator would be the safe route but if the player wants to proceed quicker then they can take the risk and do a series of jumps to get there.

I also noticed that there is a really cool jump boost mechanic with the elevator. If you jump at the peak of the elevator movement you can jump really high. I do not know whether this was intended but it is very neat and it would have been great to see levels that take advantage of this.

But overall, a really solid entry. Very high standards what it comes to jam games in general!

Good game, I think this would be a nice mobile for children! It has a cute artstyle and the controls are very easy, great job!

Very nice game! I love the idea/inspiration, the graphics are really good and cute, and generally it was a lot of fun!

The difficulty curve was good, the first level wasn't too easy but also not too difficult, and the last one was a
bit of a challenge (in a good way).

I really just have some smaller nitpicks: The controls (especially jumping) sometimes didn't work smoothly. Also, waiting for the platforms to move (and then hoping that they move in the right direction) sometimes was a bit annoying. Controlling the platform movement via keys would have been cool.

But all in all a very very great game! :)

Super fun game! cute graphics and loved the concept. Once i figured it out that i could jump to the other platform it became more fun.

**Thank you again to everyone who played our game and took the time to give us some feedback.** You all rock :)
@booremi @birdy-games @katreenashy @fuzzybut @babbersher @cedric86 @enderr42 @vulpez @midna

@trexxak The Hypnotoad must be honored! It told me so, and who am I to argue with the most glorious toad. I'm always happy to hear that you like the art :).

@ryan-dotsikas At the start, we planned on giving the player control of the elevators. But we changed our minds to this automatic movement to provide more platforming opportunities. However, that might have been a bad decision, as a few people mentioned that waiting for the platform to come can be tedious.

@tex-killer Yeah, we had some bugs with the jumping that we weren't able to completely squash. And the secret ending is indeed well-hidden. There is even a clue to it on the wall - so vague that nobody will ever get it :grin:

@oakhardt A sparkle effect on a cleaned window is a great idea! Like in an old window washing fluid commercials :grin: I did make the pizza box too small. Should have been bigger and drawing more attention - then I think the players would get it fast. After all - it's pizza, when isn't that a good thing? Don't get me started on this city. It's a hellhole, a den of scum and villainy, and you haven't even seen the half of it. I heard that the people living on higher floors hate their window washers even more, and they are quite craaaazy (who do you think is throwing down all those poor guys that you see falling!). There are rumors of crazy cat ladies, vampires, seagulls with permanent diarrhea... it's a madhouse up there.

@outfrost We did have a bug problem when it came to jumping that we were never able to quite squash.

@nash Alternative platforming routes for the brave (or the mad ;)) are a great idea! Thanks for that!

@binarydiv We had problems with the jumping when making the game - a bug that we were sadly not able to squash in time. Sorry that you ran into it. When we came up with the game, we actually were going to give control of the platforms to the player. We changed our minds in the process to put more emphasis on platforming. Might have been a bad decision :wink:

@fabula-rasa Ok, now I got the secret ending. Once I found it I thought I had to do the thing multiple times, it took me a while to understand it can only be done once... :stuck_out_tongue: Great job to the both of you!

OH MY GOD what a beautiful game. It's the cutest thing I've ever seen. Super well presented with incredibly charming art and animations. The atmosphere and humor are glorious; I was smiling the whole time. Gameplay was quite fun, although the levels were long and having to restart one felt quite annoying. Having to wait for the platforms to move sometimes was also quite tedious, especially when waiting for them to raise to jump off. Overall really well made and supremely polished game!

Simple and fun game! The premise was funny and I like how new elements are introduced as you play. The graphics were simple but clean and I especially liked reserving the lineart for the interactable objects and things and leaving the background without it. Good job!:)

@tex-killer Congrats! I'm quite happy you managed to get the secret ending - you made my day :smiley:

I really loved it. Art style is great, gameplay mechanics are really smooth. Grandmas are scary. Great game.

Nice idea and well made. I felt the movement was a little too "slippy" and the jumps were a little too close. The grandma and her stick was the hardest obstacle to judge, sometimes just didn't have time to get out of the way. Overall, really nicely done.

@nyxkn That's just so awesome to hear! Thank you! You're not the first to mention that waiting for the platforms can be annoying. We probably should have stayed with our original idea of giving the player a remote for the platforms.

@cosmo-nectarine Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave a comment. Grandma is indeed a menace to society :wink:

@figadei Thank you for playing and very glad you liked the visuals :)

@tigerfinch Grandma is the worst - everyone agrees :laughing: This was our first attempt at anything resembling a platformer, so the movement indeed requires more work.

Really enjoyable. The game starts up easy, but also provides a challenge later on. The cutesy graphics and audio are a perfect fit for this type of platformer. Levels could be somewhat improved, maybe by adding high risk, but fast shortcuts that able to get you back on opposite platforms, combined with ranks for timing.

Finally, the fact that hazards interact with one another - like when a parrot gets clocked on its head by a grandma - gives opportunity for a chuckle.

Great game with a wonderful artstyle! And it was awesome welcoming you to the stream yesterday! Here's the VOD if you want to check that out again:
https://youtu.be/x8_8yrtjEcU

Cute game and fun to play! The platform being outside your control isn't necessarily a negative, it would be a different game and challenge if it was all under your control. Only thing I'd possibly change in hindsight, is that holding the "clean" button doesn't seem to add much because there's no reason for you not to clean while in front of a window, right? It could have been automated. But it's just a silly thing.

Had Great fun while Playing This Game!!! Nice idea, enjoyed playing! Great game!

I like how the instructions are graffiti on the wall. The obstacles are very fun, I wasn't expecting the bullets to collide with the birds :D The controls work fine except I wish jumping would cancel cleaning, I got hit many times as I was too slow to let go of E. Graphics are nice and very readable from a gameplay standpoint, very solid entry!

We've made a post-jam version with some improvements based on your comments. Web version will stay 1.0 until jam is over, and native builds 1.0 are still available.

Here's a list of changes:
- Improved jumping and better controls.
- New enemy: Ghost.
- Player can now jump on bullets.
- New particle effect plays when window gets fully cleaned.
- Revised pizza box graphics.

Thank you for your feedback!

i've had a very good laugh playing your game! the variety of enemies is great to see, and the overall game feels kinda nice to play! not being able to jump while pressing E got me a bit confused at first, but that's something you learn. the graphics and animations look polished. very good entry, congrats!

This game is very fun to play, the fact you have to be very aware of dodging obstacles whilst trying to clean windows makes this much more fun! Amazing :thumbsup:

Good implementation of the idea with humor. Well done!

Cute Game.....I dont know how to clean other side of window...XD Tried so many times

This was fun! You can easily add onto it by adding levels, too. The length was just right for a quick playthrough. I like the idea and you did a good job with the implementation : controls respond well, it straightforward, and challenging enough to keep one entertained. Nice one!

Very nice game! I had fun playing it. :smile:

The graphics are very nice and I enjoyed all the different obstacles and enemies and their animations. I also enjoyed how sometimes they interacted, like the bullets killing the bird.
I like the in-game instructions on the wall. I was a bit confused in the first level though, because I didn't see the window on the right as a window I should clean, because of the big arrow ;)

Original take on the theme! For the later levels, I think it's good that you dropped the 10 second interval and things happened faster. Sometimes the waiting for the moving thing was a bit boring if all the windows nearby were already clean. It was unclear for me in the beginning why jumping didn't always work, but apparently you can't jump while cleaning. Makes sense I guess, otherwise you would just hold E all the time, but it did confuse me for a moment. I read that you already have a post-jam version. Maybe you could also add some splashes of water while cleaning the window?

In the web version, the music sometimes hangs in transitions between levels or when restarting a level. Might also be because currently my laptop isn't plugged in.

Overall, very well done! :clap:

@papaver Glad you liked it! Thanks for suggestions! I like the idea of adding the splashes. The bug with jumping we fixed in post-jam. The music hanging is not only on your laptop, it is a common issue with Godot web export.

A very fun game and very enjoyable to play. The mechanics of predictability of attacks from "enemies" is fantastic. The level design is very good too, there is an excellent learning curve. The graphics are nice, and the sound is good. As well as the gameplay is solid. Good job!

Power(hand)washer-window simulator 2D!

Pros:

- Quite nice music!
- Funky animations and a likeable character (even though she's silent)
- Multiple obstacles and 'enemies'
- Color scheme is pleasant to the eye
- Good take on the theme in mechanics

I don't really have much of cons, and considering time limitations, you guys went beyond of what's expected. Excellent job!

Damn the cowboys with guns were kinda unexpected and caught me off guard in the 2nd level :laughing:
Overall, I liked the concept and I finally understood how a job of a window cleaner can be disastrous. Well done!

Well, it's look like window washing is really dangerous job :smile: The challenge is just right, visuals are nice. Good submission!

I unfortunately couldn't rate this until the deadline... But I now tried this, and boy, is this well done! The graphics are really pretty and the controls feel very solid. And the events are also all very good and just challenging enough. The only thing I could criticize in the slightest – and what others have already pointed out – is the rather loose connection to the theme. But that's a very small minus.

All in all, this feels really polished. Really stellar work!
