Honestly, this deserves more ratings. It's not perfect, but it's solidly executed and interesting to play.

I like how I can sweep up spikes to make them safe. That feels appropriate to what I assume is a cleaning robot.

My main gripe is the controls. There are too many to keep track of! Most of my deaths are to sweeping when I meant to attack, or shooting when I meant to jump. Could some of them be combined? I feel like sweep and interact could be one button, and maybe shooting could just be holding down attack. Perhaps space for jump would be a bit easier to remember?

I liked the music, and art, which is very readable. The way the character holds his broom makes it look like a big, bristly moustache, which I enjoyed.
