Fresh Start Cleaning Simulator

I don't like to post negative reviews, so I have to explain myself. Instead of just a pass/fail, I rate this a 3/5. It's a pleasant use of an afternoon if you're into this satisfaction genre of games. It needs some work. I came to this game looking for a pleasant grind with the satisfaction of completing a process. This meets that goal very well. The game operates well. The instructions are clear. The graphics are cute and internally consistent throughout. I really like the animation of the trash piles and how, as they shrink, the identifiable bits of trash in them do not vanish but grow closer together as the dirt disappears, and finally those bits drop to the ground when you wash away all the dirt. So the negatives: -The music track in the first level is so short that I turned it off after just a few minutes. I love video game soundtracks, and do not mind listening to looped music, this is just a painfully short loop. I did not turn it back on, so I do not know if it is better on different levels. This is listed first because I consider it the most minor criticism. -The upgrades are priced so that I had to start a second playthrough to unlock them all. -The upgrades are not satisfying enough for the wait you need to get them. -I've unlocked everything except the highest three skills, and those three are still locked and there is no indication of what I need to do to unlock them. First I thought I just needed to unlock one branch to reach that point in the tech tree. Then I thought I needed to unlock every branch of the tech tree. Then I resignedly committed to unlock every branch of all three trees. I've beaten the game, completed every quest, reached at least 100% on each map, and put a hat on every cat. I continued and replayed several locations to get the points to unlock the rest of the skills. I have the Perfectionist Achieve. Still locked and unbuyable. I don't know what else to do. -Refilling the water tank is unnecessarily slow. The task itself is equivalent to pumping your own gas, standing and staring at the gauge slowly filling up. Some of the upgrades help this, but again, they take a lot of points to unlock, and you may be spending points elsewhere with the mistaken belief that you'll unlock "instant tree watering" sometime today. It would be better if filling up was noticeably faster or upgrades were available specifically for that. The main actions in the game are 1) spraying targets, 2) vacuuming trash, and 3) collecting water, and you will spend significantly more time collecting water than vacuuming trash, so a large portion of gameplay is just staring at your water gauge. -The watering robot is effective like... 40% of the time. I plunk it down next to a tree, and it aims at the very base of the tree, which is beneath the ground, so it just doesn't water the tree--but it keeps trying and will often ignore other items in range? There are so many trees that it cannot water. It starts by trying to spray whatever is at the farthest edge of its reach, and if it cannot water it, it keeps trying to water it forever. It does not take very much interference to block it, and other plants regularly block it, and it is difficult to find angles that will work for lots of the plants. It gets worse with upgrades, not better, because you increase the range on it, resulting in it finding more distractions that have more obstructions in the way. On a replay, it persists in trying to water the rabbits in the first level, driving them to hide beneath the map. To fix the sprayer, it needs to aim at plants some distance above the ground, start closest to itself and progress further away, and maybe be allowed some more grace to spray through other plants or objects (this last is least important--if it stops trying to spray at items behind a wall when it has targets right next to it). And the rabbits thing is kinda a silly oversight, it can be left for fun. -The vacuum bot is sort of unnecessary? I think the idea is to set it up with a sprayer bot and come back and collect them both, but with the sprayer bot being so clunky, placing the vacuum next to it was a low priority. Vacuuming isn't boring. I had the idea to make the vacuum bot collect water for me, and this was somewhat successful, and I switched to doing this instead of drawing water for myself at all. And then I was struggling to set the bot down where it would collect water but succeeded in sticking it down in the pond in the garden level, and couldn't get it back because I couldn't get close enough to it because those ponds do not allow wading. Since recalling the bot without standing right next to it is a max-level skill, and I had not unlocked that, I couldn't get it back until I finished the level and moved on. I think maybe both bots were designed with the intention that the player would use them primarily for dealing with huge piles of trash while the player watered plants instead. The visual appeal of the giant piles of trash shrinking and popping into piles of trash that can then be vacuumed is way more attractive than the visual of multiple identical plants swaying a few times and making three identical chimes as they progress, over and over. I like the design of the plants, I like watering the plants, I feel satisfaction when all plants are watered, but when I'm dividing up the work between me and the bots, I'm trying to make the bots do the work that feels most repetitive and requires less movement, because I have to move them. The sprayer does seem to clean up trash piles quickly, but if I let them clean trash, I'll still be wanting the sprayer to help me with all of these plants.

原版太情绪化了，这一版是修改后的： 你的环保主题比较公益，但是你的游戏性又抵消了这一部分。如果强行靠“喜加一”提高名气的话，就会显得你的游戏设计简直一坨。所以建议再白送的情况下，再挑个大家注意不到的时间。 游戏的核心玩法是抽取液体（清水、污水等）并进行喷洒清洗或浇灌，整体机制较为简单。包含少量寻找物品和收集要素，对流程影响不大。这9.9小时的游玩时间里，我有大半是在夜间集中打完的。 不得不说，我已经很久没有遇到在设计层面如此糟糕的游戏了（尽管它发布于2022年）。成长曲线设置得相当磨人，任务数量本身又很繁杂。冲洗和浇灌的速度甚至比终末地1.0的种地还要慢，且需要处理的对象数量极多。即使后期速度有所提升，体感改善也相当有限，或许只有开启"秒完成"功能才能获得相对流畅的体验——但一周目完全无法将其全部解锁。 手柄键位设计同样令人费解。作为一款3D游戏，将疾跑映射到B键，在需要同时转动视角时操作相当别扭。而LB/RB两个肩键却处于闲置状态——同时L3/R3反而被分配了功能——而LB/RB我仅在设置界面中见过。游戏内也不支持自定义键位，这些设计令人怀疑开发者平常是否玩游戏 优化方面也差强人意。后期地图元素稍一增多，帧率便从180帧骤降至60帧左右。 不过以上问题尚可容忍。真正让人难以接受的是bug。洒水器和吸尘器在后期突然无法放置，即使提前点出了"随意迁移位置"的升级也未能解决。类似的还有任务道具未正常扣除或过量扣除等问题，这里不再一一列举。 总的来说，如果这是一款环境相关工作的实操模拟软件，我可以给出7分——它确实在一定程度上展现了环境相关专业未来的工作强度。但可惜它是作为游戏存在的。即使考虑到免费送过和宣传环保，我只能给到5分，因为当多数玩家难以坚持游玩下去时，宣传环保的意义就没了，实际上是在消费大众的环保热情。后期我几乎是靠着在后台播放视频才勉强支撑到通关。 另外，我倒是真心推荐想报考环境类专业或未来想从事相关行业的高考生体验一下，这款游戏绝对能直接劝退。如果你这游戏不觉得累，那你干什么都会成功的，干嘛要学环境。 原版（较情绪化）： 你的环保主题比较公益，但是你的游戏性又抵消了这一部分。如果强行靠“喜加一”提高名气的话，就会显得你的游戏设计简直一坨。所以建议再白送的情况下，再挑个大家注意不到的时间。 游戏内容就是抽水/脏水等液体，喷水清洗/浇水。玩法可以说很简单。有点几乎不影响的寻找物品要素。这9.9小时中，我有大半时间是晚上一口气打完的。 这么多年了，我真的好久都没见过设计的这么烂的游戏了（虽然说是2022年的游戏了）。成长曲线设计的折磨，本身任务还繁杂。冲洗/浇水速度甚至比终末地1.0的种菜还慢，数量还极多。后期速度提上来也没快多少，感觉只有把秒完成点开才能玩的舒服点。可是你一周目完全没法全解锁！ 手柄键位设计也是极其沟槽。3D游戏，你把疾跑设置成B？真神了，也不看看怎么转视角？LB/RB你空着干嘛呢？吃灰吗？L3/R3你都能用上，这俩键我却只在设置里见过。游戏内还不能改键位......只能说作者是没玩过游戏可能。 优化......说没有也不过分。后面地图元素多一点，180帧能掉到60...... 不过这都无伤大雅。因为我最忍不了的是bug。我洒水器/吸尘器怎么死活放不了了？我甚至尝试把随意迁移位置都先点了也没法放置。类似还有一堆bug比如任务道具未正常扣除/过量扣除就不多赘述了。 总而言之，如果这是个环境相关实操软件，我能给个7分，因为成功的表现了环境相关专业以及工作未来的工作强度；但很可惜你是个游戏，鉴于免费和宣传环保，我也只能给到5分，因为大家玩不下去，那这不叫宣传环保，这叫拿环保进行道德绑架。我后面纯听着某位五等分律师的视频玩的，不然根本玩不下去。 哦对，我真心推荐以后想学环境或者是想从事相关行业的高考生玩一玩，这游戏绝对能给你劝退的

I like the game a Lot, especially afer I got it in the Sale! +cozy +nice graphics +good gameplay +circa 7hours of gameplay -you level up pretty slowly -you cannot complete the whole skilltree -if you finish the story you cannot go back to certtain levels (so if you want 100% achievements, you need to play it again from the beginning)

If you are interested in this game look at No Place Like Home instead. Only bought the game because it was on sale at less then 2 euro. I'm honestly not sure if its even worth that. I forgot to shut the game down for a bit and I'm still only at 10 hours and have already completed this game and left feeling like I wasted my time. Also, this game is alarmingly simular to No Place Like Home but definitely the temo alpha version. There is no story at all and nothing really interesting about it and its very short. That one has a lot more content with a real story and interactions with NPCs and overall a lot more depth.

I would recommend it, but it was still a bit janky. The water bots didn't really work well (most of the time they were just watering the ground that the plants.) The last stage I finished it, but it didn't activate the achievement and it also didn't sync my progress across the steam cloud. So if I wanted to check if I could get the achievement on PC, I'd have to play the whole game again. And it doesn't have to much replay value to be honest. So it's a good relax game, got kinda repetitive and boring at the end though.

si te gusta power wash o algun juego de limpieza te gustara este juego, es muy bueno para relajarte.

There is one major flaw to this game for me because I am left handed. I want to be able to rebind keys so that I can use the arrow keys and I don't see a rebind option with this game. All games should have a rebind option, in my humble opinion. Other than that, the game is fun, colorful and relaxing.

Very satisfying game, could definitely spend more time playing this whenever.

I really liked this game! I've seen some people say that it's tedious and that the power ups don't feel like they power you up enough, and I do agree. However, it's a sweet message and a good game for when you want that brain-off-feel-good vibe. I got it on sale for like $2 and achieved 100% in about 8hrs

Very good game. Nice and relaxing. Plays well on the Steam Deck.
