Description
Scrap Galaxy is a local build-and-destroy deathmatch game for up to 4 players. It is a 2D top-down shooter taking place out in space in a galactic junkyard. In this setting, the players are trying to survive by constructing spaceships.
The game is round-based and each round is divided into two phases: the build phase and the battle phase. During the build phase, each player gets a number of components and has to assemble a spaceship from them within a certain time limit. During the battle phase, the players pilot the ships and battle against the other players or team up against the garbage drones living in the junkyard.
The randomness and unpredictable nature of the game make every round a new challenge, because you always have a new ship to battle with, raising the stakes and making the game quite addictive.
Key features
- Creativity under time pressure mixed with action-packed spaceship battles.
- Deathmatch until only one player remains. A new ship is constructed each round.
- Scrap King is like Deathmatch but the winner keeps their ship and can continue to build on it.
- Co-op allows the players to fight together against garbage drones. The players continue to build on their ships after each wave of enemies.
- Gamepads are highly recommended for single-player and multiplayer.
- Bots fill the remaining slots if fewer than four people are playing.
- Original soundtrack made by Connor O.R.T. Linning.
