Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We at Mobdog Studios are a small indie studio made up of very few people with an even smaller budget. But if there's one thing that's big, it's our... talent for creating new worlds with new ideas, which obviously demands a lot of time. We imagine that in about a year or two the game should have everything we wanted from the beginning, and when that day comes, it will leave early access. But rest assured, we won't stop updating Junk Rush because for every idea we code, 10 more ideas are born...an infinite cycle! We have complete confidence that we will be able to complete the project and deliver everything we want, plus everything that the community considers good and that doesn't violate our initial vision for Junk Rush. This game will not only keep us working on it every day but will also allow new projects to be made or even continued! We assure everyone that Mobdog Studios has 3 more games lined up to begin development, as their creative phase is over, but for that we need more budget, and that's where the magic of Junk Rush and our beloved community comes in!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are confident that the game will be ready in about one or two years, as we have all our core ideas well defined. We understand that these "core ideas" are what we want the game to have to be complete. After that, a new phase of Junk Rush will begin, it will probably be at this point that we plan the addition of mods to our game, so that when we run out of good ideas, the community can continue with theirs with total creative freedom, which may even become an official update.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We imagine the game will be something totally unique since from the beginning it already has its essence, which shouldn't change until the end, but rather increase. Simply because we already have in mind what we want for Junk Rush, but if we had to say something remarkable, it would certainly be a multiplayer mode, as this would close its cycle and be open for new phases. However, we are fully aware that there is no guarantee of this; it's just our final idea. Besides that, as Junk Rush progresses, there will always be new mechanics, items, bosses, and so on. Almost infinite content thanks to our brilliant programmer A.K.A me, who created an item system that takes 10 seconds to add a new item!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“At the time of writing this, the game is playable and somewhat chaotically fun. Don't expect days and days of gameplay, but a few hours of pure fun and sadism. Of course, in future versions I will come back here and update the information because the game will have changed and consequently your hours of gameplay may turn into days of gameplay.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“No, never. If there's one thing we deeply detest, it's inflation. We prefer to offer the final price from the start and never change it, so that regardless of when you buy Junk Rush, you have lifetime access to all updates and the game maintains the same price as always. So, even if you forget your password and create a new account, Junk Rush will still be available to you at the same price. Not to mention that our policy states in bold: "Any paid content relevant to gameplay is considered unholy!" For us, this isn't a virtue, but common sense, any content relevant to gameplay should be free, as it should certainly be present in the game from the start, even if it's just another useless quest for a useless item. So remember that even if we add more archipelagos to the Junk Rush universe, they will be 100% free! What we might do is create Soundtrack DLC as a way to raise more funds for development, but only when the music has been refined by humans.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“She is the heart of Junk Rush, pumping willpower into us developers to continue getting only 3 hours of sleep a day and a terrible diet, which is the basis for Junk Rush's development. This doesn't include illegal substances. Anyway, any idea the community has for game development, we will analyze, vote on, test, refine, and launch, even doing something that many don't recognize, but we will always honor the ideas made by our community! We even plan events where the community can talk to the devs, ask questions, share conspiracy theories, or experiences with Junk Rush! If you come with creativity and originality, you can be sure we will do it, obviously as long as it's not a crime that violates Junk Rush's laws!”

About This Game

WELCOME TO TA'AROA


A paradise archipelago, corrupt and chaotic, ruled by a local mafia! Your mission is simple:
Pay your vig and survive another day!

You have 28 days to make enough money, and every day counts. Plan your next moves carefully, because time flies and your choices can completely change the course of your story!

Explore the island, work, take on missions, perform satanic rituals, hunt for treasure, make allies, make enemies, cause chaos or simply relax while the end draws near. The choice is yours!

There are multiple endings, and every decision matters. Be careful who you choose to get involved with. After all, making enemies on this island is easier than making hotdogs!

The story is ours, but the rules are yours!

GAMEPLAY

Junk Rush is a game where your free will is put to the test!

Prepare your hotdogs through a physics-based cooking system, where cooking is more than just selecting options from a menu.

Manipulate your hotdog, ingredients, utensils, and equipment while trying to keep your kitchen running without letting chaos take over and set everything on fire.

FINDING INGRENDIENTS

Find ingredients across the islands. Some can be found naturally while exploring, others might be found in the trash or obtained in different ways. Buy or steal ingredients from Legal, Illegal, Alternative, or Black Market Shopkeepers.

Each ingredient has unique effects. Add different ingredients to your hotdog and discover new combinations and unexpected effects. Create everything from a true culinary masterpiece to something that should be classified as a biological weapon.

And if that's still not enough, you can perform satanic rituals to transmute items, turning resources that seemed useless into something completely different.

Some extraordinary ingredients and items won't simply be sitting on a shelf. Bosses scattered across the islands guard rare ingredients and powerful rewards, giving you even more reasons to explore and get yourself into trouble.

CUSTOMERS

Your work is divided into different shifts, bringing regular customers, strange customers, culinary critics, or any other type of customer you can imagine into your kitchen. Each one can bring their own situations, demands, and problems. But you don't have to simply serve your customers.

Threaten them, poison them, set them on fire, or commit any atrocity your imagination allows. The problem is, you never know how each customer will react.

Your actions can lead to unexpected results and turn a simple situation into a much bigger problem.

EVERY CHOICE HAS A CONSEQUENCE...

Leaving your kitchen dirty or selling expired ingredients can put you on the radar of the Health Inspector. Likewise, killing people, selling stolen or contraband items can attract the attention of the Police!

Keep an eye on your reputation meters.

Customers, Health Inspector, and the Police can directly affect your gameplay and change how the world reacts to your actions.

And of course, you can pay your taxes or simply evade them and hope you don't get caught.

As you work and explore, you can develop your kitchen and improve your character.
Becoming better prepared for whatever the islands throw your way.

CLIMATE EVENTS

Beware of Climatic Events, ranging from simple and harmless rain to a volcanic eruption ready to make your life harder and unleash even more chaos across the islands!

It's always a good idea to keep an eye on the forecast, because you wouldn't want a natural disaster to catch you by surprise during your day!

PAY YOUR VIG

And if all of this isn't chaotic enough, you'll also have to deal with unexpected visits from the mafia, coming to collect what you owe.

It's better not to piss these guys off, or it could cost you dearly!

YOU HAVE 28 DAYS

What you do with them is up to you!

And if you simply don't want to make hotdogs, find “alternative” ways to make money. That's your problem!

In the end, your decisions and the way you chose to play will determine which of the multiple endings you will find!

The story is ours, but the rules are yours!


And last but not least, don't drug your Goblin, you never know what unexpected results might occur!

AI DISCLAIMER

For now, our miserable and overworked developers can use their remaining brain cells to operate these incredibly complicated pieces of software with a little help from AI.

AI helps us with some of our daily tasks, but most importantly, it helps bring our own musical compositions and other inspired ideas to life!

By adding Junk Rush to your WISHLIST and SHARING IT, you can help make our developers' workdays even worse, increase their workload, and extend their working hours without extra pay, also known as Crunch!

But hey, if you don't wishlist or share the game, that's fine too!

Just imagine what will happen to the families of our excellent developers when they get FIRED...

Think about it. Share Junk Rush.

( WARNING : THIS IS A JOKE ! )











AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

We don’t particularly like using AI.

Unfortunately, we are a small indie studio made of programmers and designers who are currently somewhere between “making a game” and “having existential crises”.

So, for now, we use AI to help us with some parts of our daily work and to bring some of our music, ideas, and inspirations to life.

But don’t worry, we haven’t handed over the steering wheel to the robots just yet.

Our project, its identity, and its originality are still created and directed by us. AI is simply one of the tools helping us survive the development process while our budget is busy pretending it doesn’t exist.

As soon as we have the resources to replace AI with our own human made work, we absolutely intend to do so.

Until then, we’re just a bunch of indie developers trying to make something cool before our refrigerators become purely decorative objects.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game is completely stylized, lacking any realism. However, it portrays nowdays issues in a more acidic way, which may be sensitive for some players. The game features violence, drugs, and all the bad things that exist in the world, but in a comical manner.
