Machine Eater
About Machine Eater
Scrap covers the field in this one, and your vehicle is a flatbed with a glowing intake on the front that swallows anything you drive over. Gears, pipes, calculators and broken machinery lie scattered across the grass in loose piles, so routing matters: sweeping through a dense cluster fills the bed faster than chasing individual bits at the edges. Little blue workers ride along on the back and accumulate as you go. Driving is handled with the usual four keys or the mouse, and there is no combat to speak of, which keeps it firmly in tidy-up territory.
How to Play
- Drive with WASD, the arrow keys, or the mouse.
- Steer the front intake over scrap to absorb it.
- Clear dense piles before chasing scattered pieces at the edges.
- Keep moving in loops rather than doubling back over cleared ground.
