About BroomSweeper
BroomSweeper is a puzzle roguelike with a corporate horror twist. Developed by Bandwidth Games and released on January 19, 2026, it blends Minesweeper mechanics with strategic item combos. Set in the dystopian TentaTech, Inc., you play as an office worker uncovering sinister secrets while fending off dust bunnies. The game runs on PC and Linux, with a single-player focus. Each floor of the office escalates in difficulty, challenging you to balance risk and reward. It’s a bite-sized but addictive mix of deduction and resource management, ideal for quick sessions or deep dives into its 100+ item system.
Gameplay
BroomSweeper revolves around revealing a grid-based office layout, akin to Minesweeper, but with added roguelike progression. You sweep tiles to avoid “evil” hazards, collecting items that combine into powerful tools. Each floor introduces new threats, like aggressive dust piles or malfunctioning printers, forcing adaptive strategies. You manage a limited inventory, upgrading items by blending them in the inventory menu. Controls are keyboard-centric, with tile selection and drag-and-drop item management. The tension lies in balancing caution, revealing too many tiles risks hazards, while gathering resources to unlock stronger combos. Boss battles require precise item use, and failure resets your progress, but earned upgrades carry over. Sessions typically last 15, 30 minutes, with floors growing exponentially complex.
What Players Think
Community ratings average 4.2/5, with 86% positive moods and 14% mixed. Average playtime is 7.2 hours, though 38% of players complete the game, citing its 100+ item system as a hook. Critic reviews score it 84/100, praising its clever grid mechanics. One player wrote, “The item combos keep it fresh, even as floors get brutal.” Another noted, “Too reliant on luck in later stages.” Achievement completion is at 62%, with the hardest (3780 points) requiring a perfect floor run. The game’s price ($19.99) is seen as fair by most, though some wish for more difficulty scaling.
PlayPile's Take
BroomSweeper is a niche win for puzzle fans who enjoy risk-reward mechanics. Its 100+ items and roguelike structure create satisfying long-term goals, but the 38% completion rate suggests steep difficulty. The $19.99 price and 2200 total achievement points make it a solid pick for Steam users. However, casual players might find it punishing. If you like Minesweeper, item-based strategy games, and can tolerate grindy roguelike resets, this is worth a sweep. Otherwise, pass.
