Whether you’re an artist, a solo dev, or just someone who enjoys watching pixels transform into art, we think you’ll find it both inspiring and relaxing.[/p][p]The asset was drawn in Aseprite by Rubel Games, and you can check out the full process on our YouTube channel.

[h2]Update time![/h2][p][/p][p]^ The mission is simple ^[/p][p][/p][p]We’ve been busy behind the scenes, and we’re excited to share some cool new stuff we’ve added to the game. From a shiny new start screen to some handy fixes, there’s a lot to check out. Plus, we’re getting ready for our very first playtest—only on Discord! Here’s what’s new:[/p][p][/p][h3]🌟 A Fresh Start Screen & Menus[/h3][p]We’ve actually just added the start screen and menus! 😅 Things should look clean and be easy to use. We also added saves - the game is already long enough, so we finally made an option to save progress.[/p][h3]🎬 New Intro & Mission Briefs[/h3][p]Get ready for a brand new intro cutscene to kick things off. Sadly we can't show it yet, but believe us when we say it's adorable and hilarious. We’ve also updated the mission briefs and the icons for mission buddies.[/p][h3]💰 Money Balance for Tools & Upgrades[/h3][p]We’ve added a money balance system for levels, tools, and upgrades. There's a huge chance we'll be doing some tweaks to it in the future, but it already makes more sense.[/p][h3]🛠️ Little Fixes & Cozy Touches[/h3][p]We’ve made a bunch of small improvements too: the “Hub” is now called “Home”, and “Spread” when you're picking up tools is now called “Radius” to make things clearer. We’ve also added some helpful tips for the home and intro level to get you started![/p][p][/p][h2]We want to hear from you!

[h2]Time to explore! 🫧✨[/h2][p]Hi everyone! Here’s a quick update on what’s been happening with the game lately. We’ve made some nice progress on levels, the main map, and a few quality-of-life improvements. Here’s what’s new:[/p][h3]🧹 4 new levels to clean![/h3]

• [p]Garage: Tidy up the space so it’s ready for toy cleaning adventures. We’re planning to add even more things to clean—floors, walls, and all the treasures inside. The art is still in progress, but it’s shaping up nicely.[/p]
• [p]Microwave Roof: This level introduces the leaf blower in a fun tutorial. We’ll add a helpful hint if you forget to use the blower, and we’re working on making the air effect more visible. Improvements are on the way![/p]
• [p]Inside of the Microwave: You’ll be able to climb inside the microwave to clean up those sneaky grains of rice. We’re working on making this area even more interactive.[/p]
• [p]Floor: This is an early prototype, but we’re excited about all the improvements coming soon! There will be dirty puddles, messy walls, and you'll be able to pack things into the garbage bag![/p]

[h3]🚗 When it comes to the garage...[/h3][p]Starting with 2 toy packs, but more will appear as you play. We’re planning to include around more packs later, so there will be plenty of surprises to discover![/p][p][/p][h3]💿 New music with a chill vibe![/h3][p]We’ve invited musicians to rework and expand the soundtrack. We've also introduced some new tracks and hidden CDs. You'll be able to play them in the CD player in the hub![/p][h3]🗺️ Selecting levels on the map![/h3][p]We've reworked the map so that you can pick which level you'd like to play next! The info on the job will also display what tool you need to clean the location.[/p][h3]✨ Little improvements:[/h3]

• [p]New TV shaders. This is still a prototype, but we hope to add some fun TV loops with music and musicians in the future.[/p]
• [p]No more automatic hub return after cleaning a level! Now, you’ll see a “Press Escape to enter the hub” sign, so you can explore at your own pace.[/p]
