About Scrap Boy

Dive into the pixel-powered chaos of Scrap Boy – the indie action platformer that dares you to conquer its wildest hazards and relentless enemies. Built for hardcore gamers and action fans, Scrap Boy catapults you straight into the heart of a mechanical world brimming with fast-paced combat, slick platforming, and razor-sharp reflex challenges. With sharp retro graphics crafted by BoneVolt and an adrenaline-pumping soundtrack courtesy of Julio Maass, every moment in Scrap Boy looks and sounds unforgettable.

Journey through three handcrafted levels, each filled to the brim with hideous foes, wicked traps, and clever layouts that test both your skill and creativity. Will you survive the spiked gauntlets and patrol drones, or will you become just another pile of scrap? Morph your playstyle with six distinctive weapons—each offering unique firepower and tactics. From the rapid-fire blaster to heavy-hitting cannons, every arsenal change brings a new battle rhythm and strategic twist!

Up the ante with three different difficulty settings, transforming Scrap Boy into either a high-octane thrill ride or a true test of elite gaming mastery. Hardcore mode strips away any room for error, demanding pixel-perfect jumps and split-second decisions. Casual fans, meanwhile, can find their footing and gradually ramp up the challenge for maximum satisfaction.

Speedrunning enthusiasts and competitive spirits will love the Time Attack mode, where shaving milliseconds off your time and nabbing every collectible becomes an obsession. Leaderboards and high scores await those hungry for glory. Controls are tight and intuitive, supporting both keyboard veterans and mobile gamers—so whether you’re on a desktop, tablet, or phone, Scrap Boy plays perfectly.

Ready to fight, dodge, and strategize your way to the exit? Scrap Boy doesn’t just reward quick reflexes—it celebrates creativity, risk-taking, and pure gaming joy. Join the ranks of elite players who’ve beaten its toughest levels, and carve your name into the Scrap Boy legacy today.

How to Play

Get ready to jump into action by launching Scrap Boy directly in your browser—no downloads, no fuss! As the game starts, choose your preferred difficulty: Easy, Normal, or Hardcore. Beginners should start on Easy to get familiar with enemy patterns and stage hazards. Use the arrow keys (↑↓←→) for both movement and aiming, letting you adapt seamlessly to fast-paced threats and tricky platforming sections. To jump, press Z, C, or N—whichever feels most comfortable for your fingers. The X, V, or M keys let you unleash your weapon of choice, from rapid-fire options to powerful blast types. Experiment with all six weapons to discover which works best for each stage and scenario.

If you find the controls awkward, pause at any time and swap the jump and shoot buttons for a custom fit. Your mission: clear each level by fighting off robotic foes, dodging spikes, avoiding deadly projectiles, and gathering valuable collectibles scattered throughout. Time Attack mode adds an extra layer of challenge—move quickly and precisely to beat your best times and dominate leaderboards.

Don’t be afraid to explore every nook and corner—hidden areas may reward you with extra collectibles or power-ups! With practice, you’ll learn the perfect timing for jumps and pinpoint aiming, unlocking your inner Scrap Boy legend. Quick restarts ensure frustration never slows down the action, so refine your skills and push for total mastery.
