I couldn't get it to work :(
It just stuck on the blank screen? other games work fine :(

Developer

oh no, what version did you try?

Submitted

The web version?
It just kept saying "webGL" is not installed but other webgl games worked
Really odd.
I'll try again tomorrow incase something is playing funky!

Absolutely wild concept, I really dig it. At first I just thought this was a nicely polished topdown shooter, but the transition to 'janitor mode' really caught me off guard. Really clever. I could see this as a full game if fleshed out a bit more. Really like the sound effects and kudos for making your own music. Nice job!

I'd appreciate it if you check out my game too if you have a minute!

Interesting concept!! I think he might run a little too fast and it makes it a bit hard to read the screen when you are moving so fast, besides that, it was fun!!!

I like how the dev Lorelei has the role "Project Mommy" in the credits

moment of silence for all the janitors out there. Great game!

Fun take on the theme and the gameplay is really well put together, great work

Love it, great concept! This  is like the very definition of "cleaning after your own mess" that I have been hearing for a long time, but well, with the mess being mud monster hunting xD

Also great aesthetic! The art and the sound fit together nicely!

very solid overall presentation (screen effect, art, music etc - liked all of it!!) and fun (even though a bit too easy) gameplay with this very nice breather provided after every "level," which makes the game flow very interesting. great entry!

I find the concept hilarious hahaha. It's something I often think of when I watch movies. It's also fun to play ;) Give me retro graphics and I'm in. 

Just to add some feedback, maybe some more complex pathfinding system for enemies could be made for the future. Great entry! Good job!

I agree,

Will somebody think of the Janitor?

Janitors are the true heroes, awesome game

I liked the feeling of this game and controls, very snappy and responsive I love them! Would be nice to be able to buy some upgrades in between days, for example better washing equipment for during the day work :D

That's a really cool game, I liked the art and the effects and it was really fun! I only think this game needs a scoring system and better indicators to when you get hit, well done!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun! The music and sounds were really great. I just wish there was something to do with the points.

Amazing idea! I especially liked the sound design! Also the thumbnail for the game made me laugh! Great work, congrats to the whole team!

I liked this, I wish I could buy powerups with all the points I'm getting to get something out of all the cleaning I'm doing! :)

Nice work, I like the little breather where you can be a "normal" janitor for a little while between waves. Great potential for something bigger!

Submitted(+1)

Fun game!! Janitors don't get credit enough XD

Submitted(+1)

I like the concept! It's very unique. Also the music is fitting. I can see a lot more exciting features that can be added in here if you ever continue to work on this in the future.

Super super clever idea love the application of the theme it was super fun to setup myself for success in the daytime, my strat was to lure a bunch of them to one spot so I could clean them super efficiently in the morning. great great visuals too, give it some more polish and content and this game could be super super clean

The effects and music are adorable! But I don't see how exactly the rolls reversed theme is applying. Beautiful looking game though! :)
