Scrap Tinkerer

Scrap Tinkerer is a game close to the Idle/Clicker genre. I never did a game like that an guessed a lot of the ratios and mechanics. There was meant to be an endgame goal, but for time reasons that got scrapped. So just have fun. Maybe break some things.

Story

You are a gifted tinkerer living on an old city planet. Civilisations rose and fell. New buildings covering older ones. You are looking for some gems of old technology burried deep in those ruins.

Gameplay

Just use you mouse to click on things. Everything you can click has a tooltip (i hope).
5 Cs
1. Use the (C)rane to get raw scrap. Different types are unlocked later.
2. (C)lean the scrap at the cleaning station. You can switch types after the unlock.
3. (C)ompress the scrap into metal cubes.
4. (C)onvert those metal cubes into Credits.
5. (C)raft upgrades for your machines.

Bugs

I put off audio too long again so there are no sounds. Just some background music. And thats very loud in the menu and very quiet in game.

My poor mouse. I clicked, and clicked, and made such little progress. I wish the game was a bit faster with the upgrdes.

Nice CLICKER game 😉
Normally, I like these kind of idle/clicker games but the progress here was way too slow so I gave up quickly.

Oomph. Too addictive genre! I did not plan to spend so much time in a jam game.

In my opinion the progression should have been made much faster, so that an average player could reach the end without spending an hour of real time.

The game obviously lacks some polishing from UI, sounds and effects point of view. But even now it plays well and pleasantly. Great job!
