Clean Sweep

About

Clean Sweep is a puzzle arcade game where you guide a vacuum cleaner through mazes to collect scattered cash. Each bill you suck up makes the vacuum bigger, limiting how much it can hold before needing to dump the loot into a central vault. The challenge grows as the vacuum fills faster over time, forcing you to plan routes around multiple trips. Single-player action focuses on efficiency while the two-player mode pits friends against each other in a race to collect more cash. The game’s simplicity and escalating tension made it a cult hit among Vectrex owners. With its 1982 release date and retro vector graphics, Clean Sweep feels like a forgotten arcade experiment that still delivers tight, repeatable gameplay. Community guides note the vault’s placement often becomes a strategic bottleneck in multiplayer matches.
