Street Sweeper

Sweep every street in town with a brush that spans the whole road and is always down. A street you drive twice is wasted work, so plan a route that covers them all with the fewest repeats. Six towns, each bigger than the last.

How to play

  1. Drive the sweeper with the arrow keys or the on-screen buttons. The brush is always down, so any road you drive along turns light grey as it is swept.
  2. Cover the roads of the whole town. Streets that are already swept count as repeats when you drive them again, and every repeat lowers your efficiency score.
  3. Sweep at least 93 per cent of the roads before the time runs out. Hitting the buildings damages the sweeper.

Tips and strategy

  • Every crossing has up to four streets leaving it, so you will have to pass some of them twice. Choose routes that go straight on where you can, because turning back on yourself is not possible.
  • Look ahead at the map. A road you skip now may need a long detour to come back to, so finish a block's streets before moving on.
  • The edges of the map are streets too. Sweep round the outside as part of your route instead of leaving it for the end.

FAQ

Why can't I avoid repeats completely?
A grid of streets has crossings where an odd number of streets meet, and a vehicle that cannot turn straight back has to cross some streets twice to reach them all. The best route keeps the repeats low, but not at zero.
Does the sweeper miss corners?
The brush is as wide as the street, so it covers nearly everything. The goal of 93 per cent allows for the odd corner that the sweeper rounds off.
