In this single-player game, you travel through polluted environments with a machine that combines a water sprayer and a vacuum. Your goal is to clear waste and restore the surrounding nature.
Spray mud and grime to uncover rubbish, vacuum up debris, and water wilted plants through several stages of regrowth. You can also help animals and look for items tied to local tasks.
Recycle collected scrap into experience points and spend them on upgrades for your equipment and abilities. Each location includes objectives such as finding parts to repair travel vehicles, feeding animals, and solving simple environmental puzzles.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often describe its cleanup loop as relaxing and satisfying, especially as landscapes become green and colorful and animals return. Cute animals and distinct locations add to its appeal. Other reviewers find the repeated spraying and watering slow or monotonous, and some say upgrades have little impact; several also report bugs involving saves, achievements, or tool targeting.
