Scavenge a junkyard, weld the scrap into a rocket of questionable structural integrity, and light it. Highest flight wins the shift — the Moon is 384,400 km up and your fuel tank is a rain barrel. 1–4 robots, one shared launch pad, no appeals.
The Moon rocket
The build that reaches the Moon
Two Rocket Motors, six Booster Tubes, four fins and a nose, welded properly. It reaches the Moon about 30 seconds after launch.

The shift
The yard opens at dawn
You are a robot with a corner workshop, a number-row inventory, and a professional opinion about welding. Everything in the scrap lanes is yours if you can carry it: engines, fuel barrels, frame rails, ladders, a fridge that will absolutely serve as a crew capsule.
01
Scavenge
Six categories of salvage lie around the lanes — engines, tanks, structure, cockpits, fins, nose cones. Grab what you can carry and haul it back to your deck.
02
Weld
Sockets snap parts flush; grid and free placement exist for the deliberately stupid builds. Every joint has a grade, and the physics believes the welds — not your optimism.
03
Launch
Walk the finished rocket to the shared pad in the middle of the yard, set it down, and hit the big red button. The whole yard hears the range-clear call.
1–4 players
Your crewmates are the hazard
Co-op on one shared pad and with no shared restraint: collaborate on a single glorious stack, or draw a yard tool and shoot the parts right out of a rival's pockets. Whatever comes down rains back into the yard as salvage, and it belongs to whoever reaches it first.
Weapons go cold the moment a rocket is on the pad, so nobody's launch gets sniped. Everything before that is fair.
Text chat and proximity voice are built in. Type a line, or use the chat wheel on a pad; hold V (or LB) to talk, and your voice carries only as far as your robot stands, so a plan whispered behind the crusher stays behind the crusher.
End of shift · yard awards
Lawn DartFor the rocket that went up beautifully and came down on its nose.
Sideways EnthusiastFor a determined commitment to the horizontal.
Yard SaleFor scattering the most parts across the most yard.
The board is right about you. There is no appeals process.
Four robots, four workshops
Same power, different lies they tell themselves
Rivet
The all-round fitter. Good at everything, smug about none of it.
Gantry
The long-reach crane. Can put a part where nobody else can stand.
Dozer
The heavy plant that never tips. Slow, immovable, deeply pleased with itself.
Spark
The fast little monowheel with tiny arms. Gets there first, carries less.
The yard
232 metres of walled maze
You navigate by looking, not by a map. There is no minimap — just three bearing ticks along the top edge for your corner, north and the pad, and one mega-landmark per corner standing over the wall line: tyre mountain, car-bale stack, scrap crane, tank farm.
There is also a raccoon. It does not help.
Above it all, the board keeps score in metres, and the metres have opinions.

Online co-op needs a broadband connection. Integrated graphics will run it — the game starts itself on LOW quality when it finds one. Recommended specifications are on the support page.
