Robot Vacuum

Zip along the floor and clean your way, room by room

Phone: your left thumb pushes the stick to drive and turn, and your right thumb taps Jump.
Desktop: ↑ ↓ ← → or W A S D to move, Space bar to jump, P to pause. You can also drag with the mouse on the left side.

How to play

You're a robot vacuum, and your camera sits just 10 cm off the floor. At the start, only the room with your charging dock is open. Clean it to 80% and the door to the next room opens. Doors open one by one, and the rooms get bigger the farther in you go.

You start with 60 seconds, and every door you open adds 13 more (150 seconds max per round). Open every door and clean the last room to 80% too, and you finish early.

Left thumb on the stick: push up to go forward and left or right to turn (the farther you push, the faster you turn), and pull down to back up slowly. The minimap in the top left shows the whole house, with cleaned squares in bright blue. When a room is almost done, the spots you missed blink yellow.

Right thumb on Jump: hop over cables and socks on the floor, or back up a little, build speed and jump onto the bathroom's shower curb (jumping is the only way into the bathroom). After you land, wait 3 seconds before jumping again, and you can't jump with furniture right overhead.

Scoring

1 pt per square (25 × 25 cm). Squares under furniture and in the bathroom count ×2.

Combos: keep reaching new squares without bumping into anything or getting stuck. 20 in a row is ×1.5, and 50 is ×2. A bump, getting stuck or stopping too long breaks it.

Coins +5 (hidden under sofas, beds and TV stands), dust bunnies +10 (your bumper just pushes them along, so sweep them in with the side brush or pin them against a wall).

Around the house

Turbo: pick one up for 6 seconds of top speed ×1.6. Your braking distance gets longer too.

Cat: some homes have a cat, and it comes out once you open the door to its room. While it's riding on you, you're heavier and slower to speed up. Carry it for a full 5 seconds and it hops off for +15 pts. Go under furniture that's too low and it gets scraped off.

Party poppers: after the second door opens, someone in the house pulls a party popper. The confetti flutters down just like the real thing, and wherever it lands counts ×3 for 14 seconds.

Mishaps: a brush tangled in a cable or rug fringe, a sucked-up sock, getting wedged under furniture that's too low, or rolling up to the drop at the entryway all stop you for a few seconds. Run over poop and you smear it everywhere you go.
