A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

You've never had so much fun cleaning!

A newsflash comes on the TV, the biggest company in the world is on sale! Who is going to buy it? Well, certainly not you, you don’t have a lot of money… yet! You then decide to take on the role as a janitor to clean the World’s Grossest House, where it’s so dirty, they pay you by the pound of every pile of trash you clean!

Mop the never-ending mess on the floors of the house, and earn your way to the top. Along the way, you can make investments that can boost your pay! But invest wisely, or your balance may face consequences! Can you make enough money to purchase the largest company in the world?

In participation of the 61st Godot Wild Jam.
No Wild Cards were used.

Notice

This is my first ever actual game. I have no idea if anything is actually going to work or not. Despite this, I am looking for constructive criticism/feedback for future projects.

As well, it is uncertain if this game will ever be updated again after the Game Jam.

! There are some issues with the Mac Version of the Game. I Apologize for any inconveniences.

uhh

why my money count is literally null

That occurs if there is an error with the save file. Are you playing the game on Mac?

nope

Unfortunately, I am unsure about what the issue here may be. I apologize for the inconvenience. 

alrighty

It looks like the messes don't spawn? I looked at the screenshots for the game and I never saw the little green mess on the ground appear, may be a small fix but just wanted to let you know! (I tried restarting the game twice, same problem each time)

Hey, I appreciate you bringing this to my attention! A lot of people are having a similar issue and some aren't, so if you don't mind me asking, which operating system did you use to play the game?

I was on mac

Sorry about the late reply! I have been hearing cases of Mac builds of people's games not working properly recently, and it is unfortunately the same with this game. I apologize for this!
