Description:
Your mom told you to clean the house before she gets back from running some errands. Instead of cleaning, you left the house and went to the movies. In the middle of the movie, you get a text from your mom saying that she'll be back home at a certain time. Within that time, you need to get home and clean it in its entirety, or she'll take away your weekly allowance for a month.

The game will have 3 stages:

  • Chill: you'll be able to clean the house with a lot of time in advance, and the cleaning will happen very fast.
  • Have to do it now: you'll clean the house with some time in advance, and the cleaning will happen somewhat fast.
  • Save Me Lord: you'll clean the house with little to no time in advance, and the cleaning will happen slowly.

You will begin in the easy stage. If you succeed, you'll be passing to the next stage. If you don't, you'll lose your allowance and Game Over!

To clean the house, you need to vacuum the living room, do the dishes, clean the rooms, do laundry (only in Have To Do It Now and Save Me Lord stages) and rearrange the table (only in SML). The shortest time will be doing laundry, the dishes and rearrange the table (only in the SML stage); while the longest will be to clean the rooms and vacuum the living room. To do everything, the player will only need to tap the space that needs to be clean.

The visual art of the game will be a 2D, 8-bit art, to provide a throwback, arcade look to the game; perfect for 80's fans.

The game will have no ambient music. It will run on fx to simulate the cleaning:

  • Washing machine sound
  • Vacuum noise
  • Water running sound
  • Glass plate sound
