Thank you! I have plans to add even more crazy stuff soon :)

Thanks! That is great feedback. I will be adding right triangle shaped part and more parts soon. Also expect more hand-crafted levels or maybe even procedural/free-roam mode in near future. 

Description (optional):

Built for the "Fuel Depot" mission. The chassis is made of 3 long beams with 4 motor wheels, each attached via short beams for soft suspension. A heavy car frame is used in a non-standard way - turned vertically to gain height, creating a crane-like construction tower. On top, three more long beams form an extending arm carrying a cluster of 3 RPG warheads. A time-triggered detonator fires mid-mission, disassembling the beam they're attached to and dropping the warheads right on top of the enemy fuel depot. Boom - mission accomplished.

Hi! I made Scrapyard Automata - a game where you build machines from scrap parts and deploy it on combat missions. I noticed some of you already played it and enjoyed it and even left some feedback - super grateful for that!

But now I'm also super curious to see what kind of machines you actually build?

Here's the deal:

• Post a screenshot of your machine in this thread (ideally should be made of at least 10 parts),
• In return, I'll play and rate your game within 48 hours of your post,
• Challenge is open until end of Friday, May 8th

Play it here: https://frolicforge.itch.io/scrapyard-automata

Jam page: https://itch.io/jam/gamedevjs-2026/rate/4506361

And of course, rating my game and leaving feedback is always most welcome.

I'll kick things off with my own example below.

Thanks for feedback! Thought about it but run out of time. Currently my recommendation would be to assemble simple "scout" drone first to do some reconnaissance ;)

Good game. Pit a bit to hungry but enjoyed it anyways xD

Nice mood but got stuck couple times early on and couldn't move. Check browser console for errors, there are some - maybe it is related.

Man this looks like a serious project. Congrats on putting it all together in such short time!

Nice storytelling and music matches game perfectly. Good one!

Good vibes, CMDR. o7

I build something and it felt like parts were matching :D Good game!

My castle has fallen but liked it anyway. Good game!

Nice stuff! Like the share highscore feature - good thinking :D

Haha, thanks for feedback! Definitely might need some more testing and polishing - will be doing more of that somewhere in time :)

HI! gg 5/5

Interesting idea but might needs some polishing IMO. Liked the concept overall. FYI: had problems with audio in Opera GX, then tested in Chrome worked better. Maybe take a look into browser inspector.

Good one! A bit difficult when opponents accelerate like that but I like it a lot overall.

Finally a game where I can just shoot things XD

This is fun!

Great audio!

scrapyard games ftw!

Love the concept of building vehicles from scrap XD
Cheers!

Thanks! Yes - definitely tried to keep things simple for now. Found level design to be very tricky and difficult to balance here but will be adding more missions or even procedurally generated levels later.

Thank you! Tutorial is a good idea, perhaps will add it at some point in future.  I did build some monsters myself - lots of fun with that! BTW currently there is "Reveal help" button - buried a bit in UI under "Briefing" but there are some tips specific to each mission.

Thanks!

Hmm, thanks for feedback, would love to hear more details as I had only two play-testers and this includes me :D Basically it is meant to play in browser on desktop computer and you just drag parts using mouse (need to keep left click while dragging). Each part have one or more 'screw holes' and when they align there is green circle indicator. Perhaps video that is on page might help. For 1st level you need just to connect two parts: motor wheel + chassis beam and click deploy.

Thank you!

Hi! You're welcome :)
