Playing

• use WASD to collect stars
• you can collect many stars at a time
• once you have collected all visible stars take them to the washing machine
• colliding with the washing machine is enough to drop the stars
• collect all stars in a 'round' and the washing machine will run
• once the washing machine finishes a cycle more stars spawn
• collect all stars in all rounds until you see 'YOU WIN'
• record your time, or don't

Playtest feedback and future ideas

• more machines
• randomise the platform elements
• gravity/jump mechanism is a bit odd
