I liked the mechanism that uses dirty to hold the boxes in place! The puzzles on the stages are also well-designed overall. (My personal criticism is that the Roomba’s movement isn’t very smooth. Also, I wish the E key that appears when moving the boxes wouldn’t rotate.)

I love the little comic book at the beginning - great way to add theme and also just very well done. Gameplay is fun too, although could use some tweaks for instance I'm not much found of the sound of a vacuum cleaner.

Thank you for the feedback :D

I love the backstory for this poor Roomba! XD I felt like I was able to understand the mechanics pretty quickly as well which was great.

One thing I'd suggest is to decrease the amount of area that needs to be move over on the dirty areas for them to become clean. I found myself having to backtrack multiple times, especially on the large areas, which may be more accurate for what a Roomba actually does but it started to feel repetitive after a bit and detracted from the actual puzzle solving which is where this game really shines!

I also think keeping the visual of # of charges is useful information for the player when making decision about what to do next in a level. 

I hope you keep working on this! It's a great little puzzle game!

Thank you so much :D

Agreed with all your feedback! We tried to add dots on the roomba to indicate #charges left, but it's not easily visible at this resolution

It's fun game, really like it!

Very cool and fun puzzle game. I like how the game jam theme was incorporated into the setting. I enjoyed it!

Developer

Thank you :D

Good puzzles, nice variety of mechanics as you progress, solid visuals. Well executed — the Roomba handles exactly like expected.

Developer

Thank you!

Good thing that the vacuum robot is solar powered. :D It's a cool idea and well executed!Maybe it would be nice to just rotate in place to clean small stains. It gets a bit annoying trying to make tiny maneuvers for them.

Developer(+1)

Rotating in place is a good idea. We'll give it a shot

Submitted(+1)

I do think the control make sense for a vacuum robot,  I do think stains cleaning visuals are not that clear, maybe it should fade away than just disappear? Nice game though, the difficulty curve feels nice, but it could ramp up faster. 

Developer

Thank you :D

I'm glad you went with the controls you did - it makes sense for a "Sweeper" to move like that.  Solar recharge is another great idea to make the premise work.  The shove mechanic seemed a little out of place.  I imaging a sweeper could ram things or slowly push them out of the way.  i could be a great chance to introduce physics to the game. 

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback!

Agree with the feedback on the shove mechanic

Submitted(+1)

Very cool game the controls were weird but made sense.  I couldn't get past one of the early levels with a box I'm not good at these games.  Lol.    Love the concept and backstory.

Developer

Thank you! Yes, we’ll need to figure out a way to make the controls more intuitive 

Submitted(+1)

Whoa, incredible! You made a good number of levels with enough variations to keep it dynamic, fun, and interesting. Honestly, I would have liked a better ending for the vacuum cleaner level. But other than that, well done bro.

Developer

Thanks a lot! 😁

Binding of Issac (newton)!!! Clever puzzles, sfx are amazing and the mechanics like how did you fit this many into this one small game??????????????????? HUGE W game dude!! You've nailed it!!! But keeping the web game resolution to the default itch.io page should have been better but overall, this is da real art!!

Developer(+1)

Haha goated comment! Thank you so much for the kind comments and feedback :D

Great game! I was surprised by how many mechanics you managed to fit into it! I really liked it when it started becoming more of a puzzle game, and you had to plan your route. It did seem a little long and like some of the levels were just filler. I know it has been said, but the controls were pretty frustrating, but they did make me feel like a Roomba. Roomba Wrecked was also really funny. I really was not a fan of the art and lack of music. On some of the floor textures, there was a big rock, and I thought it was something that couldn't be moved over. All in all the gameplay was really interesting, and the mechanics were thoroughly explored. Great work!

Developer

Thank you so much for such detailed feedback! Agree with everything you pointed out :)

Well done! With the story at the beginning it was a hell of a hook, that good my attention. My only challenge was the controls. It was a bit weird. Side that, graphics and gameplay are good.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback :D

Nice idea. Could use some kind of indicator to show which way the bot is facing though.

Developer

Agreed! Thanks for the feedback :D

I am loving these roomba games, the concept of them is so funny. The gameplay I really enjoyed as well, interesting puzzles that felt unique. Very good work

Developer

Thank you for the kind words :D

Are there other roomba games we have missed? We only saw Rage against the Sapiens (https://itch.io/jam/gamedevjs-2026/rate/4502220).
