Steam reviews

What players say

Mostly positive: players enjoy the calm cleaning loop and co-op, but many say progression runs out early and automation gets laggy late.

Many players enjoy the calm, satisfying routine of sweeping the moon sector by sector, the music and art, and cleaning together in co-op. Many also say the progression does not grow with the vast surface: upgrades are maxed after well under one percent is swept, leaving only repetitive manual work or endless bot setup. Some report heavy slowdown and frame drops once many automation buildings and bots are running, and a few mention crashes or stalled production. Other complaints concern upgrades bought separately per player in multiplayer, aggressive snapping when building, unclear input and output directions, and losing money when deleting buildings. Some reviewers note a later patch that shared upgrades and improved progression, and recent reviews are more mixed, with concerns about AI-generated assets and value for money. Overall opinion is positive, but criticism of the late game is consistent.

Criticised

  • Progression runs out early

    Players say all upgrades are maxed after well under one percent of the moon, leaving little to work toward.

    Many players
  • Automation slowdown and lag

    Players report heavy lag and frame drops once many automation buildings and bots run, and some say production stalls.

    Many players
  • Shared upgrades in co-op

    Players were frustrated that upgrades were bought separately per player in multiplayer, which a later patch changed.

    Some players
  • Building and placement issues

    Players criticise aggressive grid snapping, unclear input and output directions, and losing money when deleting buildings.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a chilled, low-pressure cleaning game to play solo or with friends, and who accept a short late game.
Who should skip it
Players who want deep progression, many upgrades or a long endgame, and anyone bothered by lag with large automated setups.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours mostly praise the relaxing start, while those with more hours focus on the empty late game and repetitive bot setup.
