We're happy to bring you some information about what is going behind the scene.

Our team is polishing a big patch for the Junkyard Simulator that will terminate crashes and other problems with the new generation of Intel processors.
The patch also brings significant improvements to the game performance. You can expect less weight of the game, much smoother gameplay, and even better graphic. The patch will be available after January 15th.



Because this is the last memo in 2021 from us, it's a perfect moment to wish you a fabulous New Year's Eve party and Happy New Year 2022! May the New Year bring you happiness, peace, prosperity, and worth remembering games :).

[New mechanic]

We added a brand-new mechanic you've been asking for after crushing beautiful muscle cars with Mini Crusher in the Prologue-2 :).



On your request, Early Access of the Junkyard Simulator is giving you the possibility of restoring five cars and a hangar for collecting your beauties.



You'll need to find your first car. Before you proceed to restore it, you can search it along and across to find some extra stuff. For rebuilding another four cars, you need to find blueprints firstly and search for all necessary parts.



Restoring wrecks is one of many features included in the Junkyard Simulator. We're going to add more content in the Early Access of the game, hope you'll enjoy exploring it :).





















31th of July - We'll show you the gameplay on Rebelia Games and PlayWay Facebook fan pages.

Stay tuned,
Rebelia Games
