V.R.U.M. for Hire!
A downloadable game for Windows
Imagine the daily life of a unique Vacuum Robot Utility Meowchine (or V.R.U.M.) with the ability to re calibrate its robotic disc shaped vacuum body into the form of a mechanical cat!
V.R.U.M. for Hire! explores this Robotic Vacuum Cleaner’s perspective as it must take on cleaning jobs to earn “gears” that allow upgrades and ensure survival. Every job is at a different residence, all levels full of trash that you, as V.R.U.M., are required to clean to earn your keep.
Change your form from vacuum to cat as you navigate through each level efficiently cleaning as you go!
----------------------------------
These game files contain 2 levels, one solo (Fancy Kitchen) and one 2 player co-op (Igloo). These levels are prototypes, purposely without all planned mechanics implemented, just the core mechanics. These levels are playable!
