Carpet Sweeper
Steer a relentless cleaner across procedurally messy rugs, balancing fuel, lives, and score streaks.
Game overview
Fuel meets floor care
Carpet Sweeper by Eduardo Abel Gimenez combines classic arcade score chasing with resource management. Each dirty tile you clear ramps combo points higher, but every step drains precious fuel. Spend meters wisely on emergency carpet resets, keep your combo alive, and push toward leaderboard-worthy runs before your sweepers give out.
Controls
Keyboard and mouse options
- Arrow keys: Direct the sweeper north, south, east, or west.
- Space: Lay a fresh carpet and reset position at the cost of 50 fuel.
- Mouse: Click interface buttons for how-to-play, leaderboard, carpet resets, or restart.
Tips
Stretch every sweep
- Plan turns to stay on dirty tiles and build point streaks; touching a clean tile resets the multiplier.
- Trigger a new carpet only when you have a route in mind—every reset burns fuel and wipes your combo.
- Watch your remaining lives; running out of fuel costs a sweeper, so bank surplus points for bonus refills.

Chill challenge loop
- Simple inputs with satisfying depth as you juggle combos, fuel economy, and risk-reward resets.

Our take
Why Carpet Sweeper is more than a joke premise
Despite the tongue-in-cheek setup, Carpet Sweeper is a thoughtful arcade design about route efficiency and resource budgeting. Every tile you clean is both progress and a drain on fuel, which turns what looks like a silly vacuum job into a surprisingly precise optimisation puzzle.
The combination of combo scoring, limited fuel, and reset tiles makes each run feel different enough to keep you experimenting with patterns, especially if you are chasing leaderboard scores.
Who will enjoy it?
Players who like arcade high-score games, weird-but-clever premises, and visible resource trade-offs will enjoy Carpet Sweeper. If you need heavy progression it’s intentionally minimal, but as a focused score attack it’s excellent.
