For context: I have completed the main story, finished all Free Play levels, and received Gold Medals for all the challenge mode levels up to now. Version is Update 0.7.

So far, I have enjoyed this game quite a bit! It has given me many a late night staying up to complete a big level. There is a lot to like about it - the satisfaction of cleaning everything is always nice, the wide range of things to clean is refreshing, and the challenge modes are mostly perfect (more on this later). The sound design is really nice in my opinion, because I can put on my own music and not be forced to change any settings in-game to facilitate that. The progression of the game isn't too bad if you always buy the newest washer available. Controls are fairly intuitive, the stories in each level are funny and memorable, and the new co-op feature seems like a ton of fun (although I haven't played it myself since none of my friends have the game!)

However, there are also a lot of things that I think should be looked at, in my opinion. Most of them are fairly minor details, but there are a few things that I think are pretty major and should be fixed ASAP. Firstly, I find myself opening the inventory menu when I mean to rotate my nozzle WAY more often than I want to. Perhaps an option to re-map a few controls would be nice? Secondly, I think new special levels would be a nice addition to the game. The current selection, while it is a cool mission, is only ONE mission. Thirdly, in a few levels, some objects just don't clean, even when there is no visible dirt, including when you press Tab to highlight it. I have been able to clean some of these by just shooting the washer at a seam very slowly until it's all cleaned, but this problem seems most prevalent on the washroom level. Given that one of the basic game mechanics is to automatically finish the cleaning when you reach a certain % of the object cleaned, something like having to shoot the seams to finish something shouldn't ever happen.

Lastly, and in my opinion most importantly, is that there is seemingly no way to earn more money after you've completed all the main story missions. I learned about the different types of cleaning solutions and purchased several of them since they tend to run up quite quickly. This has left me in a situation where I have most of the parts for the new PV Pro washer, but some parts are simply out of reach because I have no way to purchase them due to spending the finite amount of in-game money on consumable products. I'm not sure of a good way to rectify this, but I feel as though there ought to be either more opportunities to make money OR some separate way to get cleaning solutions so that you can't spend all your money.

Overall, this game is really awesome! If you're looking for something to kill time and zone out for a few hours, this is the game for you. It has a few quirks you should be aware of, but as long as you know about them it's honestly not too terribly frustrating when you run into them.

This game.
