I loved the tone shifts, and the style was effective!
This feels great to play! The music is perfect and really fits the gritty horror vibe of the game. I loved the retry screen, that made me laugh out loud.
Love the two modes and the quick cuts between them. I wish not being able to clean everything affect the next night more, as it is doesn't feel like it has consequences since the monsters seems to be in bigger numbers equally everywhere. Great job anyway!
Cool game! We also did something similar to cleaning and it was cool how another person tried to do it as well
I had a loooot of fun with this one! Having the gameplay reverse itself around the cleaning aspect between day/night is a clever use of the theme. Good job on the artwork and audio too!
The visual effects are amazing, our actions at night effecting the morning is a very nice touch beven though the movement is a little buggy(i kept getting stuck in walls) it was very fun to play .
Interesting concept. I like the fact that your actions during the night affects your day time. I feel it would be great if things in day time also affects night time. It'll heighten the stakes in all phases. E.g. the enemies evolve if you don't clean it.
I couldn't get it to work :(

It just stuck on the blank screen? other games work fine :(
oh no, what version did you try?
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!
ok thats really weird i have seen this anywhere, if it still doesnt work maybe try another web browser... or updating yours? idk i really hope you can try our game 🤞
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!
Really fun! The music and sounds were really great. I just wish there was something to do with the points.
