  • Pretty fun arcade game, although the floor texture makes it really really hard for me to parse the environment, haha. Nice job!

Did you include your Game Design Document in your downloadable files?

Tell us about your game!
The NPC in each level are the entities that spread.
-Dust bunnies leave behind dust, which has a chance to spawn another bunny
-Slime go around eating flowers, which cause them to reproduce.
-Ghosts spread on a countdown timer.

The Player controls Vlad, a custodial engineer assigned to remove propagating filth from various environments. Vlad is equipped with a high-tech vacuum. The filth must be deposited into a Transmutation Collector, which converts the filth into Energy that he can use to Upgrade his vacuum.

You can upgrade your equipment to collect them faster, or try to control the spreading by moving objects around to form a wall that block them in an area!

The vacuum has a dual function: Vacuum, and Blower. Each of these vacuum functions can be upgraded via the Transmutation Collector.

The object of the game is to clean the room as fast as possible, transmuting as much filth as you can before the timer runs out. Your score is based on the amount of filth you clean up, in the allotted time. If you clean all of the filth, before the timer ends , the score is stored, and you are returned to the Level Select Screen. Once all the levels have a score and time stored, you are brought to the High Scores screen.

GX Games version (not true to original)
https://gx.games/games/9g9u1q/vacuum-vlad/
the GX game version is not recommended since the game screen doesn't fit well and the game will run very laggy, please go for the window executable if possible

Did you remember to include your Game Design Document?
Yes

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
Yes

Extra Notes
The GX games version has a small bug we were not able to fix in time. We were not able to debug our HTML5 version in time. The downloadable .exe works fine.
