Scrap Time is an explosive game about blowing up throngs of robots, originally made for Ludum Dare 45. Now that the rating period has ended, we are happy to share a Post-Jam Update that was in the works for the past couple of weeks.

We fixed glaring issues and added stuff that didn't make it into the original version of the game. Lots of polish too - about every hit and explosion got a cool new special effect. You guys should really feel the heat now during the most intense moments!  

Play the game here, but first check out the change log:

New features

1. The top 10 players are now showcased at the end of each run. Get your name on the board and try to keep the top spot!
2. Combo system. Killing enemies without getting hit increases the score multiplier.  Useful when trying to beat the high score.
3. You can push enemies around while dashing now.  It's possible to knock them off the platform and straight into lava this way.

Power-ups

1. 'Out of my way' - Dashing into enemies will scatter them all over the place with stronger knockback and knockup effects.
2. 'Barrel Drop' - Every 5 seconds the  next dash will spawn an explosive barrel behind the player.

Bugfixes and minor changes

1. Added explosive barrels and various props to the level.
2. Enemies no longer try to path around outer edges of the level.
3. Improved the way scrap is ejected from destroyed enemies.
4. Debris now tends to build up and obstruct passages, forcing the player to not stay in one place too long.
5. Triggered explosives, such as bomber mobs and barrels, now show a warning shortly before blowing up, leaving some time to escape.

We have some more tweaks coming towards the end of the week, so stay tuned. In the meantime, we'd love to see some names pop up on the leaderboard and beat our scores!
