Challenging, fun game! I included it in my Game Maker Toolkit’s Game Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

How does your submission match the theme?
In Hoover, the player has only one tool at their disposal: a vacuum cleaner. With this item, you can draw objects near, collect upgrades, and suck in enemies. By expelling the air you've drawn in, you can propel yourself around the stage, deflect projectiles, move platforms, and more. Because every aspect of the player's interaction with their environment is achieved with this one tool (the entire game requires only the left and right mouse buttons), Hoover fits the theme of Dual Design perfectly.
