Hi! It’s a very interesting idea.

Some things that cross my mind while playing:

It is hard to see the coins against the ground
Why the vacuum cleaner are taking coins and not something that represents “value” to it
Some vacuum cleaner sounds would been great

Where am I going?

Thank you for the tips! I had no time to put in sounds, I will definitely look for a good vacuum cleaner sound :)
I had originally planned to also include other things that could be vacuumed, like dust, glass, plastic bags and such, but I also had no time for that.

The animation of the vacuum cleaner is a good touch. I also find the pixel art cool, but the game has no music and I strongly suggest to add some.

I understand that you are a beginner and to be honest I am not much of an expert neither, but it is surprisingly easy to add background music and sound effects (I did mine in the last 10 hours of the jam). Also there are some great tutorials on YouTube that you should check.

But I like the original idea and I'm looking forward to some improvements.
