Cool concept. The gameplay is surprisingly engaging. I could see this being improved by including more visual feedback.

This is a super cute concept for a space-themed game! I agree with the other comments here on the sound design -- when I first pressed 'K' I thought the game was trying to tell me not to do that, haha -- but I definitely prefer a simple music loop to having no sound at all!

I think it would be cool if the game was on a grid so the player was always perfectly aligned with the elements in the room; I had a handful of instances where there was one dirty appliance left but I wasn't lined up with it just right to get the message indicating it was dirty.

Very much a worthwhile first GBJam submission; I look forward to seeing what you do next!

Like Clark said, the graphics feel like they belong to an older console... the Game Boy could absolutely run this, but it feels like Happy Space Cleaning Day's inspired by really really old PC games or Atari 2600 games. Sound's also pretty harsh. High notes in chiptune have to be written very carefully to avoid this...! I struggled with that a lot when I was getting into chiptune.

Imagining what this game would look like was fun though. A person walking through different apartments and inspecting all the furniture to clean things up sounds like it could be cozy (like how Power Wash Simulator got very popular off a similar idea).

Congrats on getting your game in, and happy ratings!

The graphics remind me of a more primitive console than the Game Boy, especially the highly abstracted and text-reliant communication. It's charming, if a bit dull.

That cleaning sound is unpleasant and ear-piercing.

Congratulations on the submission!
