Speedrunning charity event Awesome Games Done Quick is returning in January, and there’s plenty of PC runs among its freshly announced preliminary schedule. Notable standouts this time around are PowerWash Simulator, which might well be my personal GOTY contender, and a bonus appearance from cutesy cyberpunk cat sim Stray. There’s also a Google Stadia run of nautical indie action-adventure Wavetale, just a week before the streaming platform closes for good.

Hey everyone!

Here are a couple of quick updates this week!

[h2]PowerWash Simulator's sparkling single has washed up on Steam![/h2]

Now, after a hard day’s cleaning, you can kick back and reminisce over your epic cleaning career to the iconic Make It All Shine by Green Gills; the closing song from PowerWash Simulator. Let your mind drift back to time-well-spent in sunny Muckingham, and mentally replay those time-lapses to the uplifting tones until it comes time to pick up your power washer and make it all shine once more!

Hint: If you have no idea what song we’re talking about, you may want to wait until you’ve completed your PowerWashing career!

Crystal Caves has knocked Roller Skate Rink out to move onto round 2!

Facing off in group 2 is Laser Tag Arena VS Aquarium! Would you like to pew-pew or stare at some fishies?



Our designers gave this flavor text to help everyone imagine the levels:

Laser Tag Arena
A ‘well-used’ Laser Tag Arena densely packed with neon structures, walls, ramps and cover.

Aquarium
Sea-life viewing galleries with large windows and glass tunnels.

Hey everyone - welcome to dev log 66!

Last week, we opened suggestions for our next Community Map Vote, where we will be making levels suggested by you. More info and how to share your ideas, here: https://steamcommunity.com/games/1290000/announcements/detail/3371528804092332981

This week, it's all about statistics!





Less than 2 months have passed since 1.0 dropped and over 3,000,000 people have now equipped a power washer to restore Muckingham to sparkling glory! Thank you to everyone who has picked up the game so far!

For context, that's more than the population of Jamaica, 33 full Wembley stadiums and 600,000 crammed Honda Civics (apparently the third most popular car in the USA with 5 seats). We thought following this announcement, we'd look at some more fun statistics from the game!

Note: below are Steam only, and based on the past 30 days activity on the 7th of August*









Are any of these numbers big surprises? Do you feel like the yellow nozzle gang needs to be stopped? Let us know in the replies below!



Thanks for all of your feedback on the Research Edition and for everyone who has taken part in this unique opportunity to advance science!

We've been listening to your feedback and have a hotfix to address some known issues! :)

Update notes:

• Added three new study questions
  
• Improved button UX on the question popups to help avoid confusion
  
• Added support for retrieving lost reward progression
  
• Fixed small issue with study telemetry
  

Until next time!
