Play Scrap Core — FreeAbout Scrap Core
Scrap Core is a physics-driven swarm survival game in a post-apocalyptic robotic wasteland. Pilot your magnetic core and pull loose girders, armor plates and cogs onto your collision mesh — attached scrap is both your armor and your lethal weapon. Ramming damage scales with cluster mass times velocity, so build heavy and hit fast. Fire EMP shockwaves, trigger Magnetic Surge to vacuum the whole sector, choose between four speciality cores, and face the Scrap Golem world boss every three minutes.
How to Play
Pilot your core with the mouse (hold left click to thrust) or WASD / Arrow Keys. Scrap is pulled onto your collision mesh automatically — ram drones and mechs at high speed, since damage scales with cluster mass times velocity. Fire the EMP Shockwave with Space or a double-tap, trigger Magnetic Surge with E, and pause with P or Escape.
