How the Game Works
The game holds interesting dynamics as it allows players to assume the role of a power washer that is trying to build up their business by cleaning everything in their way. This includes houses, playgrounds, trains, trucks, cars, and even Mars rovers.
Players start off with a dirty scene in which they are supposed to clean. Another interesting thing about the game is that players can upgrade their power washer to something more powerful to help them do their job more efficiently.
Different In-Game Choices Players Can Choose from
Players get to choose things like nozzles and cleaning liquids for different types of surfaces and dirt while having the option to use scaffolding to clean roofs and other hard-to-reach places. The game doesn't rely on overly-complicated mechanics making it therapeutic to play.
A review by IGN on YouTube shows a rundown of what it's like to play the game. The review highlighted how relaxing the game was to play.
