Dusty Desk by Franci

[raw]
made by Franci for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Guide the Dust Bunnies to their home and off your desk!

The dust bunnies have escaped and are running around your desk doing all sorts of shenanigans​. Guide them back to their home safely but be careful, if they explode they will leave a huge dust pile for you to clean up!

Use the left mouse button to activate your laser. The dust bunnies can't resist the red light, they will follow it even if it means running into a cactus. Carefully guide them though your unorganized desk back to their home on the dustpan. Screenshot 2024-10-07 220019.png

Very cute. Love the cozy aesthetic. First loss was level 10.

Looks great. V chill and relaxing. I initially thought the dust bunnies would explode if they got too close to the laser but after a few levels I realised that its the cactus that is the danger. Maybe it would be a neat mechanic if the laser was also dangerous if used carelessly (or maybe that would be too stressful!) Great game! Thank you for making it!

Very cute game. Interesting gameplay and visual is also looks very pretty. A lot of levels and each is unique. The idea of showing the way to rabbits by laser is original on my opinion. Nice job!

Very nice game, very relaxing at first but it does get pretty hard towards the end, especially level 15 It took me a while!

wait how do you only have 12 ratings (for now). Your game is so nice and complete! the art is amazing, the vibe is really chill and there are tons of levels. Great work you guys!
I do have to mention though, who of you has this trainwreck of a keyboard because that does not look like mine I can tell you that much with the random ordering and the upside down keys xD

Great design I really liked the game!

I love how adorable these creatures are. I was shocked to learn that they can actually die(

Very cute and soft! I feel like I didn't really learn exactly what the liquids do, I kind of just ignored them for the most part. Decent amount of levels for a jam game!

A simple concept that makes for a fun game, especially when combined with the great art and the number of different levels.

What a charming little game! I would love to see a lighter version of the game as if it was daytime (a rather warm color pallete), imo that would suit the aesthetic a bit better. However, love the dustbunnies and the level/obstacle design and the music are great too! Very addictive, congrats guys!

Very cute game, I love how their ears perk up when you shine the laser. I'm impressed with the number of obstacles and distinct levels. Well done!

Amazing concept, graphics, sound, everything. Great work! This is the kind of game that NEEDS timers and a leaderboard imho, or at least countdowns in a post-jam version. I would very likely spend hours playing it trying to beat other players!

Nice game! Great graphics, the bunnies are really cute. The gameplay is fun.

I wish you would lose the game as soon as you don't have enough bunnies to complete a level, instead of waiting until the end to find out or having to manually restart. I think for a puzzle game like that it would be better if the position of the bunnies wasn't randomized at the start of a level. I also found the level 10 to be the hardest of all.

Very cute game with gret atmosphere. It's very impressive you made 17 levels within three days. The laser pointer mechanic is unique and fun to play with.

Great presentation with this one and really polished. You have a solid mechanic that works well and good escalation in the difficulty throughout. The graphics were impressive and the dust bunnies were cute. Great Jam!
