Description:

In Cleaning Odyssey you, the crew’s pet cleaning robot, is tasked with the very important job of keeping the ship together… somewhat together. With several tools at your disposal, you can power wash, repair damage and collect alien samples. You can also travel through vents, restore your power, watch a story unfold through the windows, and be the first of the crew to see asteroids heading your way! No relax, take your time, but remember to avoid letting your battery run out;

However, the game is not intended to keep you on your toes, but rather it is intended for you to lay back and relax. But do not relax too much as you might miss the story, or even worse: run out of battery!

Gameplay:

Robot Mechanics:

Take care of the outsides of the ship, when you have completed enough tasks done you go back to your robot hatch and take a deep rest until you are needed again!

Cleaning: 

Star-dust gets all over the surface of the ship, and crew mates cannot be bothered to mop outside of the ship. It is your job to use your built-in wipers, which are placed under you, to wipe the dust off.  All you have to do is slide over the dirty patches and you are set to go.

Repair:

Sometimes, the ship takes some damage. If it is inside the ship, don’t worry - that’s not your job, but outside the ship is all on you. Fortunately you will have a laser. Just use it correctly to fix some minor external damage. Just make sure to use it wisely

Sample Collecting:

Sometimes little green aliens that have lost their way get stuck to the ship. The crew uses its remains to do some SCIENCE! Collect the samples and deliver them to the ship

Environmental Mechanics:

Vents: Sometimes, the ship is too big for you to traverse from the right wing to the left wing without running out of battery. Fortunately, the ship comes with very useful vents. If used properly, use them to travel faster throughout the ship!

Windows:

Windows will be the main storytelling element. You can observe the crew’s own story throughout the levels.

Battery:

The robot will have a battery life and you will need to look for charging pylons around the level to restore battery power.

Story Mechanics:
