Scrap Metal hands you the keys to several powerful vehicles and an empty flatland to do whatever you want. Rather than following a set track or racing against the clock, this is a pure physics sandbox where you make your own fun. You can spawn ramps, loops, and various obstacles from an inventory menu to build your own custom stunt park in real-time.
The appeal lies in the game's detailed soft-body damage model. As you launch cars off your newly built jumps or smash them into walls, the vehicles crumple, lose parts, and deform realistically. When your car is too damaged to drive, a quick press of the repair button resets it back to perfect condition so you can try the stunt again.
Controls
- WASD / Arrow Keys: Drive and steer
- Spacebar: Handbrake
- Shift: Clutch
- R: Repair car
- 1-8: Change camera views
- Mouse: Select and drag obstacles into the world
Tips
- Build a run-up: Make sure you leave enough straight distance before a large ramp so you can reach top speed.
- Switch cars freely: Some vehicles are better suited for drifting, while others have the raw acceleration needed for massive jumps.
- Adjust mid-air: You can slightly control your car's pitch while airborne by using the driving keys, which helps you land on all four wheels.
If you enjoy setting your own goals and experimenting with vehicle physics and destruction, this open-ended driving experience is exactly what you are looking for.
