Reception

''Street Cleaning Simulator'' received negative reviews from critics. Though GameSpot praised Street Cleaning Simulator's "nicely detailed sweeper vehicles" they also noted "Street Cleaning Simulator could only be considered a simulator in a world where the rules of gravity don't apply" and gave it a score of 1.5 out of 10. The game became a running gag of some sort in GameSpot's community. In the user's review section of the game page, users used satirical remarks and praised the game in extreme ways such as 'I can't stop playing it' and 'I quit my job for it'.
