Loddlenaut is an ocean cleanup adventure set on a vibrant alien planet. Play as an interstellar custodian sent to clean up a polluted ocean planet. Repurpose marine debris and take care of axolotl-like alien creatures! As you clean up the planet, you’ll run into axolotl-like aliens known as “loddles.” Protect them from the polluted waters and feed them aquatic fruits while you make their planet habitable again. Depending on their diet, loddles will grow in different ways and develop unique traits and abilities that will further enable them to survive on this polluted planet.

Runs well on modern hardware.

It's a little short, but what is there is fantastic. I enjoyed hoovering, lasering, and scrubbing so much trash! 9/10
Golden addition to the evergrowing Cozy - Relaxing game genre. A simple premise - Clean up sea gunk and various junk and watch the region regrow and flourish to it's former glory. The addition of select-breeding Loddles really helped mix things up and provide some extra fun factor. In a nutshell: Loddlenaut is exactly "What you see is what you get", a calming cleanup game to unload stress and relax at your own pace!
I love this game and the spirit of it. Spent many hours meticulously cleaning with the help of my beloved little loddles. I even went so far as to making myself a spreadsheet just to figure out how to get what loddle I wanted, but that's just because it sparked a passion in me to do so - you honeslty probably won't need the spreadsheet yourself. My only regret is that it ends way sooner than I'd like. I would love to see more updates or even a sequel game! (Or prequel?) It's a very lovely cozy game.
