About Junkyard War

Junkyard War is a unique take on the tower defense genre. Clear trash from the junkyard and
recycle it into valuable resources while holding off waves of your competitor's army trying to
make the trash disappear by burning it all down! With over one BILLION procedurally generated maps and randomized waves, no two games are the same!

As executive field manager of the Wayford Waste Management corporation it's up to you to ensure our junkyard mining operations go smoothly, and preventing our competitor from setting fire to our profits! They and many other short-sighted people see junkyards as a problem to make disappear rather than a valuable resource to exploit. Build turrets to protect the trash and the mine. You'll need to move the mine several times to clear the junkyard, which means the enemy path will too. Strategic turret placement is critical to avoid waste! You'll have to make do with trash in the field to build your turrets at the start. However we've authorized bonuses to be paid for each enemy unit you eliminate which should help. Good luck!

✦ AI summary

Junkyard War is praised as a fun and engaging game with solid fundamentals, but players consistently note it feels incomplete and would benefit from more content, additional towers, better map navigation, and longer round lengths. While the core gameplay is enjoyable and the developer is appreciated for their work, the general sentiment suggests the game still needs substantial development before feeling fully polished and feature-complete.
