Really cute game with a lot of potential! I love his cleaning videos on Facebook and was excited to try this. The gameplay is fun but a little glitchy at times. In the tutorial the lil avatar guy blocked the lil guy's story on how he got the carpet dirty so I couldn't read it! Still definitely worth the download and I’m excited to see updates! (P.s: this is all very nitpicky but I really care so much so I just wanna say there is a spelling error! When you finish a round there is an option to watch ads for more points but it says "watch adds" lol, and the carpet also doesn't look fully clean sometimes even though it says 100% done. Last thing: could the brushing part be longer? 👉👈 )

I want to like the game. I do like watching rug cleaning videos and have been hoping for a game based on it. I mean there are so many other simulator games that I am surprised this is one that hasn’t been tackled yet. I tried it and it has potential but the cost of stuff like water and soaps just make progress slow and not very fun. I can live with doing the same rugs to grind but when you’re not really getting much profit after resupplying it feels tedious rather than rewarding. I really would suggest dropping the costs a bit, just enough so you can feel like you are making progress. One last thing, if you are going to sell a remove ads purchase, you really should make it clear that it is for the ads between rugs and not for the rewards. When it says it removes all ads it can imply that it removes ads from the X2 rewards and such as well. So I just feel like it should be specific about which ads it removes. I understand needing to generate revenue somehow, but ads can be annoying especially if they drag on and on or are the type that won’t end unless going to its store page or having to play the interactive game ads. Just simple straight up video ads would be better than some of the ads i have seen. You could always go for a more expensive version of ad removal as a means of buying the game to get the extra rewards.

I’m quite happy to be surprised by how well done this game is. It shows the realistic challenge of building up a service based business from the ground up. My criticism comes, sadly, from the part that I downloaded this app for, the cleaning. If I’m being nitpicky, the sounds aren’t fully accurate to what they sound like in real life or on Mountain Rug Cleaning videos. Everything sounds a bit more high pitched and just not quite there. Now the main critique. Having enjoyed the rug cleaning videos from this lovely creator for years now, I have some inkling of how many times that each of these cycles happens. You know, shampoo, scrub, rinse, repeat. I wish that that aspect of rug cleaning was in this game to really hammer home for people the amount of work that it takes to clean rugs in this condition. I understand that some people might not want the tediousness of that, but to me, that’s the biggest thing. It is very difficult and hard work to clean these rugs and I just wish that that was illustrated more. That being said, I am definitely going to keep playing this game. Happy cleaning!
