Play as S.C.R.A.P., an autonomous recycling robot, deployed to clean abandoned planets in this short incremental game. Destroy debris, collect scraps and convert it into usable resources. Optimize your systems through short, repeatable deployments.
Scrap Protocol
Steam
Scrap Protocol is a short active incremental game about controlling a small cleaning robot, picking up scrap, and slowly turning a simple setup into an efficient machine.

This is not a passive idle game. You control S.C.R.A.P. entirely with the mouse in short, focused runs. Every action is deliberate.

After each run, integrate permanent upgrades to improve efficiency and performance.
Progression is not linear. You are free to specialize S.C.R.A.P. the way you want: focus on speed, collection power, cleaning efficiency, or hybrid builds. There is no single optimal path imposed on you.

Travel across different planets, each divided into structured sectors to fully cleanse.
Restore abandoned zones and bring order back to forgotten worlds.
