Gameplay

edit

The players start in a little spaceship, which is being infested by an alien goo. To survive, they need to clean up the dirt left by the goo and keep the power of the spaceship on constantly.[2] The crew can only use cleaning materials, such as a mop and a bucket, in order to clean up the mess made by the aliens in the spaceship. The aliens can be eliminated by throwing them out into space, cooking or grinding them.[3][4][5] The game can be played by up to four people. It is possible to play solo, but the difficulty is increased compared to playing in multiplayer.[2][6]
