Hello, Scrappers!



We've been listening to your feedback and working hard on an update that we hope you'll be as excited about as we are!



- Introducing S.C.R.A.P., a solo player's best friend!

This adorable AI sidekick helps players out in single-player mode by automatically collecting trash, then passing it to them or tossing it into the garbage truck as the situation demands.



- Overclock in either single-player or multiplayer mode with the overclocker bot!

We've replaced the single-player overclock system with a new support NPC that appears in multiplayer games as well. Pop the balloon on top of its head to overclock! Overclocking temporarily boosts your strength and speed. It also allows you to pick up more than the usual limit of 3 items at once!



- Teaming up for multiplayer is now easier than ever!

The game now supports party codes and random matchmaking! Share a numeric code with friends to start a multiplayer game together, or match up randomly with players from around the world!



- New trash tiers for score tallies!

Garbage is now divided into 4 tiers with different score bonuses: normal, heavy, special, and enemy.



- New auto-catch feature allows easier catching for casual play!

You can now automatically catch garbage within range with a new optional auto-catch feature! You can also disable this feature to play the classic Scrappers way.



- New and improved tutorials!

We've updated our tutorials to get you up to speed on the latest features as quickly as possible.
