Ultra Update

Scrappage Ultra is here! Version 1.3.0 is our biggest update in a long time, and the scrapyard has never looked this good: new graphics presets up to Ultra bring real-time shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom that makes your shots glow, heat distortion around explosions and flames, and fog that drifts across the battlefield with the wind.

On top of that: nine new languages, new descriptions for nearly 200 parts and items, Steam leaderboards, a big round of balance changes and a long list of fixes. Time to scrap in style!

New Features

Graphics Modes

• New graphics presets: Mobile, Medium, High and Ultra. Scrappage picks the best one for your device, and you can change it at any time.
• New Graphics tab in the settings. You can adjust each option separately: anti-aliasing, render scale, shadows, ambient occlusion, bloom, color grading and texture filtering.
• Real-time shadows for players, enemies, bosses and props.
• Bloom makes shots and energy effects glow.
• Heat distortion: explosions send out a shockwave and the air shimmers around flames.
• Drifting fog: fog drifts across the ground with the wind, which changes from level to level.

Languages & Content

• Nine new languages: 日本語, 한국어, 繁體中文, العربية, ไทย, Українська, Čeština, Polski, Română, with full right-to-left support for Arabic.
• New humorous descriptions for nearly 200 body parts and items, in all languages.

Steam

• Steam leaderboards: every finished run uploads your score to the normal or Hardcore leaderboard.

Improvements
