SHORT DESCRIPTION

Vacuum Simulator is a cozy pixel-art game about cleaning homes. Grandma Dot leaves you her
cleaning business: mow stripes into carpet, wrangle the cord, mind the brushroll, and decide
for yourself when a home is clean enough. Then grow the business with upgrades and a crew of
robot vacuums.


LONG DESCRIPTION

Grandma Dot is hanging up her apron, and she's leaving you her cleaning business: a garage, a
well-loved vacuum, and a corkboard full of neighbors who need a hand.

Pick a job and get to work. Every home is different, and every pass leaves a satisfying stripe
in the carpet. Suck up crumbs. Wrangle the cord from outlet to outlet. Empty the dustbin before
the suction fades, and switch the brushroll off before it flings cereal across the kitchen
tiles. There are no timers and no rush: you decide when a home is clean enough, wrap up, get
paid, and watch your reputation rise.

As the neighborhood starts to talk, Dot writes to you, the homes get bigger, and the garage
fills up. Upgrade your vacuum's suction, head, motor, dustbin and cord. Buy a heavy-duty
upright or a nimble stick vac. Build a crew of little robot vacuums, kit them out with modules
and give them stickers. Find 60 small things people have lost under their furniture, from a
wishbone to Dot's own sock, and fill the glass cabinet in the garage. Later come the odd jobs:
a haunted house, a power cut, moving day. And somewhere at the top of the hill is the Mansion.

A lighthearted game for short sessions or long ones, made by one person, JosNun.
