Ashfall Scrap Engine – Post-Apocalyptic Idle Clicker

Ashfall Scrap Engine – Post-Apocalyptic Idle Clicker

Play the free demo in your browser above. It covers the first part of the game: your first 15 minutes or so in the yard, up to the Boiler. The full game is in the $2.99 download for Windows, macOS and Linux. It has all six engine parts, all eight machines, moving camp and Blueprints, and takes about 2–3 hours to finish.

Three years of ash have buried the old world, and under it lies a world of scrap. Dig it out by hand, put scavengers to work, then raise magnet rigs, shredders, smelters and crawlers until the yard hums. Every part you salvage goes into one machine: the Scrap Engine that will carry you out of the ashfall.

How it plays

• Salvage: click to dig scrap out of the ash.
• 8 machines: from a lone scavenger to the Ash Dredge. Each one has 6 upgrades that unlock as you build more of it.
• Build the engine: six parts, from the Frame to the Ignition. Each part makes everything faster, and you can watch the engine grow in the yard.
• Move camp: when a yard runs dry, pack up for a fresh one. You keep your engine and earn Blueprints, which speed up every camp after.
• Supply drops: grab them when they land for a pile of scrap or a fuel cache.
• Offline progress: your crew keeps salvaging while the game is closed, at half speed for up to 8 hours.
• Finishing the engine takes about 2 to 3 hours, and you can keep salvaging afterwards.

Details

• Mouse only. Saves automatically every 20 seconds.
• The browser version is a free demo. The full game is the download for Windows, macOS or Linux. The downloads are unsigned: on Windows click "More info" then "Run anyway"; on macOS right-click the app and choose Open.
