One man's junk is another man's galactic battleship...
In this addictive arcade-style twin stick space shooter, you (a disgruntled waste collector) salvage the debris from each round of your destructive rampage to piece by piece transform your humble space-garbage-truck into a starship worthy of your cause.
Build increasingly better ships to unleash powerful weapons and gadgetry -- lasers, giant ball-and-chains, anti-gravity orbs, heat seeking missiles, magnets, freeze rays and more -- against endless waves of enemies and huge, modular bosses.
You'll never survive. But if you're going down, you're taking as many of them with you as you can. See how long you can continue the anarchy!

Fun twin-stick!

I’ve only got a few hours in but I’m really liking it. Despite the change in genre, it’s a good replacement for old and defunct twin-sticks like GunBros. The only thing keeping it from 5 ? is the lack of MFI/Xbox/PS4 controller support.
Great

Really fun, and controls surprisingly well for a mobile game. I’m enjoying it a lot so far.
It’s good I guess

Some of the weapons are pretty useless, like the ball and chain. After playing through for a bit you get better and better weapons, it’s got a good system for getting parts; blowing up bosses. The upgrades/weapon switching mechanic is mediocre. Every time you switch, the weapons are shields you have are dropped to the lowest level and you have to rebuild all that power, but you’ll eventually run into a different weapon type by accident, again resetting your power. I think a good way to fix that would be to, instead of resetting your power to 1, every time you switch, the power goes down by one. Or something to that effect. Of course you’d have to build up the powers separately. Overall it’s fun and it’s kept me engaged for over a week —despite its problems.
Look ? at the stats,

All but two, I repeat, ALL BUT TWO, of the ratings that are 3-stars or less were given four years ago and they refer to problems that have, with the exception of controller support, been remedied. There is some learning curve with regards to choosing and equipping the various vessels, but isn’t that what makes for a long period of enjoyment in a challenging and complex game universe? So dig in, this game is well worth the effort...and you CAN, with patience, do well WITHOUT any ?IAP?.
Was a good game..

Had this on my iPhone 6s and enjoyed it up until I upgraded to iPhone 10s. Game doesn’t sync across phones and I can’t even restore purchases that I made. Deleting.
Wow kick BUTT game! This game is pretty killer!

Thanks Developers thank you so much for allowing us to have this game free! I never seen the game, because there is so much content on the web that a lot of these GREAT GEMS get lost in ALL the CRAPPY games that (Apple?) pushes... we need an app that brings these type of games to people attention! Just lucky that I was on an app that features “apps that was made free”
Fun, but frustrating

For the most part this game is a lot of fun, but the weapon switching part is so annoying it kind of ruins the whole thing. You can spend a lot of time and effort getting your current gun upgraded, and then just accidentally touching an upgrade for a different gun instantly switches you to that type and drops you clear back to the lowest level. It's so annoying when you're going after a huge boss with upgraded weapons, only to suddenly be dropped back to the lowest level of a gun you don't want to use simply because an upgrade for that gun happened to wander too close in the middle of the battle.
