what is The Junkyard?

Search, repair, and craft unique junk into useful tools in this short incremental sci-fi game.

In this incremental game, you gather and fix junk items capped at unique values, then craft them into tools. Designed for a game jam, it offers a concise experience with minimalist sci-fi themes and prestige mechanics.

It sits in the Idle / Prestige / Management / Minimalist / Sci-Fi corner of the genre. Like most idle games it runs on a simple loop — earn, reinvest, automate — but the depth is in how long that loop keeps unfolding. Expect to check in, make a few decisions, and watch the numbers climb whether you're at the keyboard or not.
