Interesting, but needs enemy variation for the challenge to be more than your patience :\ Possible so-and-so many nights, then a boss, and maybe unlock an endless mode if you want? I dunno the game has a neat premise. Also give the tabs a purpose? The score can be some arbitrary number at the corner of the screen, but, you know, you introduce caps and all that lookin' like a currency but *JUKE* naaahh bro no shop 4 u. Anyways whatever it's a jam good game :) 10/15 stars

The character kept running upwards if I didnt press atleast 2 movement input buttons. However, the idea was fun and the game looked good too, well done!

Hey I loved the game! After playing this game i thought "why haven't our team considered top down view??!" XD Like you said, our ideas where quite similar, and i definitely think that your adapation was awesome. Jealous! Anyway, great game and enjoyed playing. Loved the somewhat creepy music too.

Super cute!
I liked the idea of cleaning to make the nights easier, but the way the weapon worked it didn't feel like it made much of a difference as long as the monsters were clustered together. If you were to continue developing this I would make the impact of not having cleaned up enough more severe. Maybe you could get fired for not keeping clean? Then clustering the enemies during the night in order to make cleaning easier like another commenter mentioned would be more important.
Cheers! :)

Really good artwork. Gameplay music also matches the look. Wish there was music at main menu. Gameplay is also smooth and responsive. Good job!

Nice  game! I really liked the music and the art. Solid execution of the idea.

Cool! Like the fact that you can stock enemies in specific zoned during night, so that it can be easier to clean during the day (even if it's a little tedious to do that). P.s consider give the janitor a fire weapon to use at night, it would be more fun to kill enemies!

Haha, I love the concept of people just working in the office, oblivious to the fact their janitor is fighting monsters by night. Really well done!

I absolutely love the contrast between janitor's night and day shift. Fighting murderous monsters at night and cleaning the mess made during the combat during the day. I think that there should be more time to clean the floor during the day shift. If I understand correctly the uncleaned mud turns back into monsters the next night. I like the art style and the music. It's incredible that your team managed to make all the assets during the jam. Great game!

Very Cool GameConcept with the two modes (chill hunting vs Time pressure Cleaning)! Graphics and Sound are also great. Simply put a very Cool GameJam Game. Greate Job had lots of fun playing it. :)

This game is rad! Good work on all the assets, we made ours too although we had a smaller team. I enjoyed this quite a bit! It reminded me of the game Zombies ate my Neighbors

Loved the concept and having you defeat the monsters make the idea stand out from other cleaning-like games. I think it is a really starting point for creating a really cool arcade game in the future if you continue iterating the project :)

Really well made! It just kind of felt like it needed more. like better enemy ai, or different enemy types, maybe something more tying the day and night together. Overall great submission!

This game was pretty fun! Though I feel that the daytime section could have used a little more depth. Good effort, though! The game is very stylish.

Great idea, but the game could benefit from more levels, and maybe buying better equipment, but I get that the time limit was harsh. Great job!
