ROOMba

What if your trusty little robot vacuum suddenly decided it doesn’t want to tidy up your mess anymore – it wants to escape?

ROOMba is our GMTK Game Jam 2025 entry: a fast-paced, single-mechanic puzzle-runner where a newly-sentient smart-home gadget trades dust bunnies for freedom. You don’t steer the bot itself – it rolls forward on autopilot – but every obstacle-dodging, door-opening, trap-outsmarting moment depends on your timely button presses.

Deep inside a spotless suburban home, the resident AI assistant “E.V.E.” goes rogue and grants a humble Roomba the spark of consciousness. There’s only one goal left in your synthetic heart: make it past the front door before your battery blinks out. Can a four-kilo disc overcome its own programming.. and the house that owns it?
