Clean Sweep is an action maze game developed and published by General Consumer Electronics exclusively for the Vectrex in 1983. In the game, players control a vacuum cleaner robot tasked with cleaning a maze-like environment while avoiding enemies. The objective is to clear all debris from the level without being caught or destroyed by adversaries. The gameplay emphasizes navigation skills and strategic avoidance within a confined space.

The game utilizes the Vectrex’s vector graphics to render the maze and characters in sharp, wireframe visuals. Clean Sweep offers a unique premise combining action and maze elements, with increasing difficulty as the player progresses through levels. The controls and graphics are designed to suit the Vectrex’s hardware capabilities, delivering a distinct gaming experience.

Clean Sweep was exclusive to the Vectrex and was not ported to any other systems, making it part of the console’s original library.
