Well, Mike ran in to problems getting ldjam.com working properly with about 12 hours left in the Compo, so this is the backup plan.

I forgot to test this game on other browsers. Using the arrow keys on the Ludum Dare live version in some browsers (eg. Chrome) will also scroll the page. If you have this problem, please play the Game Jolt version below.

Nice little top-down shooter. I dig the Roombas theme. I think I could have used a bit more direct danger: not allowed to touch the Roombas or something.
@Malsanity, Ah damn, you are right. I should have tested it on Chrome (it works fine on Firefox).
I'll add a disclaimer so that chrome players use the game jolt link. It seems to work fine there.
Like the theme. Wish I could shoot/move in arbitrary directions though.
Managed to win it, could use a bit of balancing (maybe repositioning the table so I can't see both entrances) or something like that. But nice game that definitely fits the theme and I could totally see the character's motivations :)
Pretty solid game overall. Being able to shoot diagonally would have been nice.
Yours is the first Roomba game I've played where the rooombas are the enemies. It's a nice twist on a shooter, but the lack of direct threat to the player maybe takes away some of the tension. Perhaps having other things to complete in the room would have helped? I wanted to use the computer for something.
Another roomba game! Cool and challenging. I wish the marbles were a little more serious of a projectile.
Nice job! I like the premise of the game. It was fun and fast-paced, but I found it distracting that the page moved up and down when moving the character.
Cute idea, that you need to keep your room dirty. Control scheme could use a little more love, but a nice simple game.
The intro screen set a really nice atmosphere, but unfortunately that same vibe didn't carry in to the main game.
Aside from that, you did alright. The game was rounded. I ended up beating it with sore wrists, lol.
