A roguelike looter-shooter

SCRAPHEAD

a Mangosphere game

Kill aliens. Grab loot.
Save the planet from the Swarm.

You are one small robot made of spare parts, with a pistol and absolutely no plan. The Swarm has landed, and it brought friends.

Wave incoming

The Swarm has landed.

Every run is a fresh fight across an alien-infested junkyard. Fight, loot, upgrade, repeat. See how far a pile of scrap with legs can get.

Blast the Swarm

Wave after wave of skittering, spitting, exploding aliens. Stay moving, keep shooting, try not to panic.

Loot everything

Grab every bit of scrap, hit the shop between fights, and build a loadout that gets gloriously out of hand.

Topple the big ones

Elites, bounty hunters and towering bosses stand between you and a saved planet. Who, or what, they are is classified.

Gameplay: a Hauler robot bristling with guns, surrounded by a massive horde of green aliens
Wave 1. It only gets worse. That's the fun part.

Zone 1

Pick your path

Every zone is a branching route map. Choose your fights, dodge the ones you can't win (yet), and meet the boss at the end.

  1. Battle

    Fight off the Swarm and grab the scrap.

  2. Unknown

    Could be a chest. Could be a curse. Spin the wheel.

  3. Scrapyard

    Spend your hard-earned scrap.

  4. Elite

    A much bigger alien with a much better reward.

  5. Bounty Hunter

    A robot gunslinger wants your head. Win it, keep their gun.

  6. Boss

    End the zone. Or it ends you.

Start a run

Pick a chassis

Each one is a trade. None of them is the easy one.

The Scrapyard is open

Loot. So much loot.

From a Slugger Bat to a Gravity Lance, from Duct Tape to a Scrap Terrier. Mix and match until your robot is more gun than robot.

Warning: large

Something big is waiting.

Every zone ends with a boss. What they are is top secret. You’ll find out the hard way.

No names. No spoilers. Just bring a bigger gun.

Keep your head down

Wanted: you.

Someone’s put a price on your head, and the route is crawling with robot gunslingers who’d love to collect.

Who are they? That’s classified. Win the showdown and their signature weapon is yours.

  • Showdowns on the route
  • Signature weapons
  • Identities: unknown

Hat Locker

Unlock hats at the merchant. Cosmetic only. Absolutely essential.

Two heads are better than one

Bring a friend.

Team up online with a Steam friend for the full campaign. Share the route, share the loot (mostly), and pick each other back up when things go sideways.

Behind the scrap

The making of SCRAPHEAD

From sketchbook doodles to Steam: how a UX designer and dad from the UK built the game he always wanted to make, one evening at a time.

SCRAPHEAD

The Swarm isn’t going to shoot itself.

Wishlist on Steam to hear the moment it lands. It genuinely helps a small studio a lot.
