We like niche simulations, we like ridiculous proof of concept goofs, and we like single-minded auteurs, so of course we love Robot Vacuum Simulator 2013. This is a huge step up from the lo-fi Robot Vacuum Simulator 2012, offering sleeker 3D graphics and a soundtrack haunted by the ghost of smooth jazz. It’s a free download for Mac and Windows, and we look forward to your Duel Mode reports.

This is you.

The dev’s site is delightfully charming and worth a browse while you download. Oh, and don’t tell Roomba!
