[Tidying Up + Secrets of the Sewers]

Loved the presentation, both the visuals and the layout, onscreen controls were appreciated!
The music was really catchy and set a comfy mood throughout the game.
I found the story (and the writing) to be really engaging. Maybe Doki Doki ruined me but I was really expecting a dark turn lol, the level transition defaults the avatar to "sad Roombella face" and I thought that was a hint of a darker genre shift coming. That aside, I liked how the game managed to touch on somewhat real issues some people face without censoring itself, all while keeping it cute.
Difficulty wise, some levels were interesting but only few were truly challenging, still, it was a joy to play!

Quite a few people now have mentioned they expected this to take a dark turn at some point or another, haha. I’m surprised someone noticed the sad Roombella during the transition though, it goes by so quick!

Thanks for all the kind words and thanks fot playing too! :)
