Grime to Five

Clock in. Mop up. Cause trouble.

You're a black cat janitor. Your mop makes the floor slippery. The pests make excellent projectiles.

Grime to 5 is a fast 2D action platformer about turning a messy room into a playground. Bump platforms from below to flip enemies, grab them, and throw them into the next problem. Lay down soap, build speed, and keep the combo going.

This is a free public prototype for feedback, intended for desktop browser play and Windows download. Expect rough edges and unfinished presentation.

Make a mess of the opposition

• Bump, grab, throw. Turn stunned enemies into ammunition and aim your next hit.
• Make the floor work for you. Mop a slippery route and carry your momentum through the room.
• Chase a cleaner run. Clear enemy waves and go for the no-damage, combo, and time challenges.

Start here

Choose Play on the title screen. In the lounge, move to the nearby station and press Q to open level select. Choose Garden for your first run. The lounge gives you unlimited mopping to experiment with; Garden uses a limited supply.

Action	Keyboard

Jump	Space; hold for more height

Hold Up without a horizontal direction when releasing Shift to toss straight up. Hold Down without a horizontal direction to drop your passenger. A plain release throws forward.
