Early Access Review
There's something about this game that brings satisfaction to me, something about taking something covered and completely hidden that you clean, you remove the dirt from and beneath it is something beautiful. Everything is beautiful and vibrant post-powerwash (actually, it should be called pressure wash because it's cold water not hot water, apparently), which really helps to see the difference you can make with it.

The Pros:
1) The cleaning itself is just satisfying, and you can use the dirt as a canvas to have a bit of fun.
2) You have an array of different cleaners that are useful should you want to speed the cleaning process up.
3) The maps that are available are truly beautiful and well crafted.
4) The itinerary for each item actually teaches you something about the vehicles when cleaning them.
5) The "location" maps are vibrant and unique, bringing something different with it.
6) The story is actually interesting, which you wouldn't expect for a power washing game, and the humour is well placed.
7) The vibrancy of the items after having the dirt removed makes a beautiful contrast that REALLY pulls you in and gives you a feeling of pride in your work.
8) The timelapse of your work at the end is a fantastic feature that definitely has potential!

Cons:
1) While the maps are awesome, it would be really cool to see some more "animated maps", and fantasy locations for a bit of humour, so while it's nice it's grounded in reality, it feels a bit stuck at times.
2) The items feel limited. It would be nice to get more nozzles instead of the same ones for each model, to give both some variety, and also reasons to use more than just "the best model you've bought", as I found myself hardly changing to old models, and never changing once I had purchased everything for the PV3000.

Feature Thoughts:
1) It would be cool to have a radio that you buy and could place somewhere, to play video from a YouTube video (like lofi or whatever you like), with fade in and fade out as you are closer and nearer, to really add in more of a "living environment".
2) Some people in the background that come and go here and there would again, add in some variety to make a "living environment". Of course being ablew to turn these on and off would be good.
3) Maybe workshop support if possible, to allow people to make their own levels/add their own spin on it would be quite interesting too, as money is limited so workshop items would have a 0 reward to fit in line with "progression" desires. Or maybe the amounts could be auto generated based on amount of dirt etc.

Over all, this game is strangely addicting, very interesting, and a unique simulator that has showed potential and continues to do so. The game is cruel about the cleaning spots, but not cruel enough to ever feel unfair, but more "pushing you to do better".

In conclusion, I would give this game a solid thumbs up!

SCORE:
8/10 Pink Fuzzballs

A great game with lots of potential and features that could be added to give this game a much longer lifespan. I would love to keep streaming more of this game as it's genuinely satisfying for everyone!
