Here are some quotes from Moldwasher reviews. Feel free to read the whole articles on those websites. Please remember to support not only indie devs and publishers, but also online and print media. 🫡
A few more levels and a few more tools would be welcome here, but Moldwasher is a tiny, relaxing, satisfying and wonderfully silly Powerwash Sim-style game with love, care and humour poured into every aspect.

For the $8.99 that Moldwasher costs, that seems like a great afternoon playthrough of a game that you can enjoy and move on if you want, but it also has a good variety of achievements to show you fun little extra things you might have missed to maybe get another hour or two out of it.

Moldwasher makes the dirtiest of jobs all the more appealing thanks to its adorable aesthetics and simple gameplay mechanics, its lo-fi beats and its limescale-smothered cartoon dioramas. With a sizable bouquet of tools, locations, and cosmetics to unlock, it stands tall as a worthy candidate in the clean ‘em up field. As a perfect game, no — but as a well-rounded indie that has the power to entice the target demographic, yes.

Still, if you enjoy relaxing simulation games and the simple satisfaction of cleaning dirty spaces, Moldwasher is an easy recommendation. In a crowded genre, it finds its identity in its little sushi protagonist, creative progression system, and surprisingly varied cleaning mechanics.

A compact cleaning game that’s both relaxing and never boring, drawing players in with its cleaning mechanics—which go beyond simply removing dirt—and its surreal, humorous world. It’s the perfect game for those moments when you ‘don’t want to think about anything, but still want to enjoy some gameplay’.

Moldwasher nails the one thing it sets out to do: blasting grime off a kitchen feels good, and the pixel art plus lo-fi soundtrack make the whole thing a calm way to unwind.

If you are a fan of cleaning games or just need a wholesome, relaxing adventure, you absolutely have to check this out. It might be a relatively short experience, at around 3.5 hours to finish the story and get all the achievements, but every single minute is packed with charm.

Moldwasher is a short cleaning sim that left me wanting more but helped me find that kid-like wonder I used to have with the world. From the music to the cute little sushi, this game set out to make a calm relaxing experience for me and I will be returning to it when the world gets dark, because what better way to wash the darkness away then with some sushi.
