New: Bob's Odds, a roguelite game show mode Steam Next Fest Oct 19–26

The trailer

One brush. A whole lot of pixels.

What you actually do

It starts calm. It gets oddly satisfying. Then the floor turns into a storm and you realise you've been at it for an hour.

Scrub

Take the brush to it

Retired sprites drop in and get dragged toward the central magnet. Run your spinning brush across them and the pixels scrub loose.

Reclaim

Pull in the salvage

Loose pixels drift free. Steer them into the hose, grade what you've recovered, and sell the haul at the end of the shift.

Escalate

Buy the machines

Spend your pay on roller brushes, drones, corrosive goo and mutation waves — until the floor is doing half the work and you're just steering the chaos.

New game mode

Bob's Odds

Bob has a game show now, and you are the only contestant. Every round has a number to hit. Hit it and Bob deals the cards — take your pick of the upgrades on the table, or flip a hidden card to find out what you got after it's yours. Miss the number and the season is over.

The Odd Balls you earn along the way buy Randy's inventions forever, so every season starts stronger than the last. No two seasons play alike. The demo has the first three episodes.

The pick. Two cards from the table. One of them is sealed.
The scale. Fill it, reload it, keep the streak going. Bob calls it live.
The host. Confidently wrong about everything, and happy to explain.

Screenshots

It does not stay this calm.

The shop

Three people work here. You're the one who actually works.

Bob, the shop's owner, smiling

Bob

The owner. Explains how everything works, confidently, and is wrong about nearly all of it. Means well. Will not be helping.

Randy

R&D. Actually builds the machines. Lets Bob do the talking and quietly slides him a correction note when it goes badly.

You

The new hire. Holds the brush. Cleans the floor. Gets a raise occasionally, announced with more ceremony than it deserves.

The demo is out now

It's free. And wishlisting genuinely helps a one-person studio get seen.
