Junkyard Astronauts
Released 27 October 2026 · PC · Action, Casual, Indie
Scavenge a junkyard at night, weld the scrap into a rocket and press the big red button. Highest flight wins the shift. The Moon is 384,400 km up, and your fuel tank used to be a water heater. Online multiplayer, built for 2–4 robots. Mac and PC together.

Weld first, regret later Weld the junk together and the build readout grades your rocket before it leaves: integrity, thrust, efficiency, and a short, frank verdict. The physics believes the welds, not your optimism. A rocket that looks assembled is assembled. Briefly. Every few minutes a supply crate comes down on a parachute with a Rocket Motor inside.

Hit the big red button and the whole yard hears the range-clear call. Then watch your junk climb off a very small planet. The altitude board keeps the score, rung by rung, from "Above the junk piles" to the Moon. Most rockets veer, corkscrew, flop or come apart. Whatever comes down...
