A fascinating concept that left me scratching my head. It took me a solid twenty minutes to figure out what on earth I was supposed to do. I tried all of the seeds and managed to grow each one, but only the tri-ivy seemed to have a use with its bouncy sponges. I have no clue how the other ones are supposed to work.
The mops are limited and only good for a few uses. The biggest frustration I had was tracking blood everywhere. No matter how hard I tried and no matter how little blood I stepped in, I seemed to track more everywhere, which is not a fun mechanic.
I think I beat the tutorial level (even cleaned the drips off of the bridge), but without any indication that I had won, I wasn't sure.
There were some glimmers of fun, like the bouncy sponges, but "chore" games like these are meant to be zen and relaxing, and this one was tedious and frustrating for me.
Also, I say this genuinely---good job on getting a 3D game up and running! Some other submissions unfortunately could not be run, but this one ran pretty smooth for me.

Well done with the cleaning 👏👏👏 I appreciate the patience! A tutorial (or even signs) would’ve helped, dropping players in the sandbox with no notes was a bit harsh
One requirement I had while working was that it had to run on my not-very-good laptop, so I’m glad it ran well! It fit the art style well
