Home Makeover Cleaning Game

Home Makeover Cleaning Game is a simulation video game developed by a small independent studio and released in 2023 for mobile platforms and personal computers. The game places the player in the role of a professional cleaning service operator tasked with restoring and organizing various residential interiors. The primary objective is to complete a series of cleaning assignments across multiple rooms, each with a specific set of dirt, clutter, and disorganization parameters. The game features a first-person perspective and a point-and-click interface for interacting with objects. Progression is linear, with each completed level unlocking the next room or house. The game includes a scoring system based on time efficiency and thoroughness, with a maximum of three stars awarded per level. Visual feedback is provided through a cleanliness meter that decreases as tasks are completed. The game contains no narrative or character development, focusing entirely on the mechanical process of cleaning.

Gameplay mechanics are task-based and sequential. Each level presents a room with visible messes, including dust piles, stains, scattered objects, and misplaced furniture. The player must identify and interact with each element using a cursor. The core loop involves selecting a cleaning tool from a radial menu, applying it to the correct surface, and then disposing of waste or returning items to their designated locations. Tools include a vacuum cleaner for carpets, a mop for floors, a duster for shelves, a sponge for surfaces, and a trash bag for debris. Each tool has a limited area of effect and must be recharged at a designated station within the room.

Operation controls are standardized for the platform. On mobile devices, the player taps to select objects and swipes to perform cleaning actions. A drag gesture is used to move furniture or place items. On personal computers, the left mouse button selects and interacts, while the right mouse button opens the tool menu. The scroll wheel cycles through available tools. The keyboard keys 1 through 5 correspond to direct tool selection. The spacebar activates a quick-clean mode that automatically targets the nearest dirt patch.

Tactical techniques focus on efficiency. The player should prioritize high-traffic areas and visible stains first, as these contribute most to the cleanliness meter. Grouping similar tasks, such as dusting all shelves before mopping, reduces tool switching time. The vacuum cleaner is most effective on carpets but consumes power quickly; using it in short bursts preserves charge. Objects that are out of place should be returned to their original positions before cleaning the surrounding area to avoid re-dirtying surfaces. The trash bag should be used last, as it collects all debris generated during other cleaning actions. Recharging tools at the station immediately after use prevents downtime during the final cleanup phase.
