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: /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.

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.
