About the Game
==============
In **Cozy Cleaner**, you bring messy rooms back to order step by step. Each level takes you to a different room where you look around, collect scattered items, and place them where they belong. Open boxes to find new objects, sweep up crumbs, wipe spills, polish windows, water the plants, and finish with a refreshing room spray. With every action, the space feels lighter, and so do you.
There are no timers, scores, or pressure, just a cozy journey where order slowly comes to life. To move on to the next level, you must completely clean and organize the room.
In **Cozy Cleaner**, different tools help you make each room spotless. Use your hand tool to collect trash and organize scattered books, bottles, and vases. Mop up spills, use the dustpan to clear away crumbs, dust, and cobwebs. Polish windows and walls with a cloth, water the plants with a watering can, and finish by spraying a cozy scent into the air. At the start of each level, a truck delivers new items you can unpack and arrange to complete the space. Once you’ve used all your tools and cleaned the room entirely, the door to the next level opens.
We hope you liked it! Free demo for Cozy Cleaner is out now, give it a try and give us your feedback. Don't forget to wishlist it on Steam! (Button under the trailer) 🧡

- Refreshing mini-games (weight 0.27): The mini-games within the levels are considered enjoyable and help break up the standard cleaning gameplay. They add variety and prevent the experience from feeling monotonous.
- Cats help with cleaning (weight 0.27): Players enjoy the presence of cats that assist during the cleaning process. The cats not only add cuteness but also actively contribute to the gameplay instead of simply messing things up.

- Cat provides hints and petting (weight 0.16): The cat offers helpful hints and can be petted, adding an extra layer of charm. This interactive element is frequently highlighted as a positive feature.

Common complaints:
- Game length is too short (weight 0.45): Many players report that the game is very short, with playthroughs ranging from 2 to 3 hours. The short length leaves players wanting more content and reduces overall satisfaction.
- Item placement controls are finicky (weight 0.38): Placing items precisely on shelves and hooks is difficult and frustrating. The controls lack smoothness and require precise alignment, which disrupts the relaxing experience.
- Repetitive gameplay and lack of variety (weight 0.35): Players find the gameplay highly repetitive, especially in later levels, with the same cleaning tasks over and over. This leads to boredom and reduced engagement.
- Hard to find last items on levels (weight 0.27): Many players struggle to locate the last few items needed to complete a level, especially when items blend into the environment or fall into corners. The highlight mechanic is unreliable.
- Insufficient content and achievements (weight 0.27): The game lacks content and achievements, leaving players with little to do after completing the main levels. Some achievements may be bugged and do not unlock.
- Tool upgrades feel unnecessary (weight 0.26): Many tool upgrades, such as the robotic vacuum upgrade or watering can, feel useless or unnecessary. Upgrades are completed mid-game, leaving little incentive to continue.
- Picking up and dragging items problematic (weight 0.26): Picking up and dragging items is wonky, with issues like items clicking unreliably, auto-dropping, or falling through surfaces. This forces level restarts at times.
- Korean text display issues (weight 0.24): Korean text sometimes appears as garbled characters or squares, and some text disappears entirely after starting the game. This is a significant bug for Korean-speaking players.
- Progress tracking and gauge issues (weight 0.22): The progress gauge does not work properly, and there is no detailed breakdown of cleaning progress. Players cannot easily check which areas need attention without going to the store screen.
- Glove upgrade limited to trash (weight 0.2): The glove upgrade only allows multi-grab for trash, not for other items like cans, bottles, laundry, or food. Players wish it applied to more item types.
- UI and scaling issues on some screens (weight 0.2): The user interface breaks on certain screen resolutions, such as ultra-wide monitors, causing buttons to be off-screen or text to appear zoomed in. This makes the game unplayable on those setups.
- Game lacks replayability and customization (weight 0.19): After completing the game, there is little reason to replay due to low replayability and lack of customization options. Money becomes useless once upgrades are purchased.

- Controls and interaction animations feel stiff (weight 0.15): Interaction animations are stiff and not smooth, making cleaning feel unsatisfying. Gameplay is hampered by waiting for animations and aligning interaction points.
- Missing or bugged text display (weight 0.11): Some text is missing from the game, and asset file names are shown instead of proper text in the gardening minigame. This affects usability and polish.
- Camera view and house design issues (weight 0.11): The camera view is heavily restricted, and the house design is overly complicated with many blind spots. This makes navigation and finding items difficult.
- Steam Deck specific issues (weight 0.1): On Steam Deck, text disappears after starting the game, and Steam launch options are ignored, preventing settings from being saved. This makes the game unplayable on the platform.
