Robot Vacuum Simulator!

Hi all, first Pico 8 game here.

Controls

Use the arrow keys to move the robot around!

Rules

Clean up as much of the dirt as you can.
Don't forget to clean under the tables!

And avoid the cats - they love to ride on your back, but they slow you down a lot.
Pro tip - cats can't jump on you when you're under a table.

Behind The Scenes

So the idea for this game was "what's a simple game I can make, so that I don't get scope creep paralysis, and I can actually finish something?".

From there I thought of a vacuum sim where you have to avoid household animals, and it turned into this.

For me this game is more of a way to figure out what else goes into a game: menu, sfx, music, level design.

It's easy to think of a "cool game idea", but an idea does not a whole game make.
For that reason, I wasn't really aiming to make incredibly fun experience. I wanted to finish something...
Hopefully it's a little bit fun though!

The music is very catchy!


I'm glad you like it! It was good fun putting those loops together.
