The story.

In a future of advanced robots, the old models were scrapped by the million. One storm night, lightning woke the Heap at Rustwater Dump, and its scrapped robots, drained and hungry for current, are marching on Gran Volta's workshop for the Spark, the last live current. Gran builds the new kind. Your job is to put them in the right place.

Five lanes, one scrapyard.

Every level is played on the same 5 by 9 board. What changes is the junk coming down it, the robots you bring and the zone you are in.

A Scrapyard level: rows of robots on the left of an orange scrapyard board firing at junk robots advancing down five lanes
Two robots of the same type merging into a level 3 robot, marked by a glowing ring on the board
A transformer at the end of a lane releasing a lightning blast that clears the lane of junk
The Scrap Colossus boss with its health bar, its ground slam target ringed in red on the board
A level in the final zone, The Heap's Heart, lit in cold blue with a crowded board of robots and junk

How it plays.

Collect bolts, spend them on robots, merge what you place, and keep the junk away from the transformers at the end of every lane.

  • Build your line

    Power stations pop out bolt orbs. Tap them to collect bolts, then spend the bolts on robots: pick a card and tap a tile, or drag the card onto the board. Before each level you choose which robots to bring, and the pick screen shows the junk that is coming so you can bring the counters.

  • Merge to level up

    Drag a robot onto another of the same type and level and they merge into a stronger one, up to level 5. Need room? Drag a robot onto the card strip to scrap it for part of its bolts back.

  • 14 robots, each with a job

    Bolter, Power station, Shield bot, Shock mine, Jammer, Tesla, Crusher claw, Twin bolter, Magnet, Mortar, Tri-bolter, Shredder plate, Searchlight and Pulse bomb. New robots join as you clear levels, each with a card that says what it does and when to use it.

  • 12 kinds of junk

    Sweepers, plated Loaders, Spring-legs that leap your first robot, Riot bots whose shields stop straight shots, Drones that fly over walls, Mole bots that tunnel under the board, cloaked Glitches, Foremen that call in more junk, and more. Each new kind arrives with a card that explains what beats it, and never before you have a robot that answers it.

  • The transformers

    Every lane ends in a transformer. If junk reaches it, it overloads and its lightning blast clears the whole lane, but it burns out for the rest of the level. Junk that reaches a burnt-out transformer ends the run.

  • Bosses, power-ups and boosts

    Every 10th level the Scrap Colossus walks out, a giant of fused dead robots that slams your line. Six power-ups (EMP, Bolt rain, Scrap bomb, Repair, Overclock and Instant merge) are earned one at a time and bought with coins, and after every 5th level you pick one of three run boosts.

  • A run through five zones

    Fight from The Yard through Tire Mountain, Car Cemetery and Appliance Canyon to The Heap's Heart, each with its own light and scenery. Gran's radio lines and the Logbook tell the story as you go, without stopping play. Continue a run from where it ended, or retry a level with your coins and kills kept.
