Mess About

Read full description

Every room is a mess. You are the vacuum. Get cleaning! Mess About is a satisfying cleaning game where you drive a robot vacuum cleaner around messy rooms, hoovering up every speck of dirt before the battery runs out. Drag to steer, watch the floor sparkle behind you, and chase that perfect 100% clean. EASY TO PLAY, TRICKY TO MASTER One-finger controls: drag to move, release to stop. Clean 70% of the floor to pass. All three stars means every last corner, and the battery is sized so a sloppy route won't make it. Plan your path and don't waste charge. WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING Furniture blocks your path. Debris piles bog down your brushes and drain the battery faster. Vases shatter into even more mess if you bump them, so drive carefully. Hardwood, carpet, and tile all feel different under your wheels. GRAB POWER-UPS Turbo Suction doubles your cleaning radius. The battery pickup puts charge back in the tank. Both can turn a doomed run into a spotless one. RESTORE THE HOUSE Stars are not just a score, they are what you spend. Clean a room and its furniture turns up in cardboard boxes: unbox it a piece at a time to bring the place back to life, then save up for the keys to the next house. Start in The Shack and work your way up. TWO SIDE GOALS IN EVERY ROOM Each room carries two extra challenges worth bonus stars, like clearing every debris pile, finishing without breaking a vase, or going spotless with charge to spare. None of them are timed, so you can take as long as you like. A NEW CHALLENGE EVERY DAY The Daily Challenge is one shared room with a countdown clock instead of a battery. Clean 100% before time runs out to grow your streak. Miss a day and you are covered; miss two and it resets, though a lapsed streak can be rescued. Bonus stars land at 3, 7, 14, 30 days and beyond. RELAXING AND OH SO SATISFYING If you love tidying up, decluttering, and watching dirt disappear, this is the cleaning game for you. Perfect for a quick tidy on the bus or a deep-clean session on the couch. MORE GOOD STUFF - Free to play, with ads and no in-app purchases - Family friendly, fun for all ages - No account and no sign-up - Plays offline, no wifi needed - Hand-built rooms to clean and whole houses to restore, with more on the way Clean up. Chaos. Repeat!
