A downloadable game for Windows

Cavern Junkers: A game made for the  GMTK Game Jam 2021 with the theme "Joined Together"!

You are on planet Kars. You control a cavern junk collector, to feed the radiation cloud. Your junk collector has the ability to magnetize junks together to satisfy the radiation cloud's insatiable hunger.  Beware of holding too much junk, as you will become more vulnerable to the flying Kars debris!

How to play & Controls:

WASD for movement, Mouse to aim

  1. Control your junk collector to collect junks by touching them. They will be magnetize and get joined together in a pile
  2. Avoid the red Kars debris. Hitting those will end up bad for you! While holding junks, junks hit by debris will disastrous to you too!
  3. Pay attention to the green radiation cloud's hunger level. It starts with 5, so it is recommended to feed it 5 junks at once. Fulfill the hunger to get 1 score.
  4. Your junk collector comes with an ElectroPower. When the bar is full, use it to expel all nearby Kars debris:


Thats it! Go now, the radiation cloud is craving Kars junk!

Very interesting concept, becomes very chaotic with time, maybe a little too much but it contributes to its fun, a very catchy music.

If I have a small remark it's that a web or Linux version would have been nice, I had a bad time fighting with wine to launch the .exe

Thanks you for your comments! Yea, it gets pretty chaotic as you last longer into the game :D (throughout development I was trying to create "controllable chaos" so that the amount of chaos won't get too out of hand, and it was challenging)

Yea, I definitely agree that GameJam games is better to be played on Web, especially when we can try out so many games.
