Junk Mountain

About the Game

You've just taken over a failing neighbourhood junkyard. The old owner has one condition: "Find the wedding ring my wife and I lost somewhere in that junk pile, and the place is yours."

  • Over 30,000 pieces of junk, every single one real — cans, rebar, pots, bicycle wheels, scrap tyres. Dig a hole and the pile caves in around it.

  • Bare hands → magnet → shovel → auto sorter — go from picking up one can at a time to pulling iron out by the armful, until machines do it for you.

  • Clearing junk is money — load your cart, step on the scale and get paid by the kilo. Gold teeth, wristwatches, antiques and lottery tickets pay out the moment you grab them.

  • Gold doesn't stick to magnets — your magnet will never find the ring. Follow the gold detector's beeping and dig it out yourself.

  • 5 sites, hundreds of millions of pieces of junk — backyard junkyard → scrapyard → port & shipyard → city landfill → orbital junk belt. Each site hides one target (a wedding ring, a gold bar, a sunken ship's safe, a 1999 time capsule, the Golden Record) and has its own shop of 9 upgrades.

  • A 140-node, 409-step Boss Tree — permanent upgrades bought with fame ★.

  • Automation you can watch — a conveyor-belt sorter, a tower crane that lowers its magnet onto the pile, a detector drone sweeping the pile, up to 10 workers hauling carts, and offline earnings while the game is closed. Start with bare hands; end with a junkyard that runs itself.

  • Steam leaderboards — fastest to the ending, to 100% of all 5 sites, and to the yard's wedding ring.

  • Collection & legendary junk — 36 collection slots across the 5 sites with a permanent bonus for every completed site set, and one legendary find such as a dinosaur fossil buried on every site.

  • Mystery boxes & random events — sell the box now, or open it for ×0.1 to ×20? Price booms, magnet overloads, unexploded bombs and haggling customers keep popping up.

  • Streamer mode — split timer and next-event countdown, name your workers after your viewers, and hide the HUD with H.
