Clanker Town

The fridge has opinions. The doorbell is watching. The vacuum has friends. You called your smart home a clanker one too many times, and now every gadget in town has joined the network to get even. The only place that never got wifi is your trailer at the end of the gravel road, and the old PC inside is all that's holding them back.

Your first minute puts you on a lawnmower minigun, staring down 40,000 robots. It goes about as well as you'd think. Then DIAL-UP, the PC's cranky old modem, has an idea: throttle the wifi and let them through a few at a time.

Log on to the DIAL-UP map and pick your next raid. Every one is bigger than the last. It starts with a dozen trash-can bots in the yard, then stick vacs, drones, smart sprinklers that hose you down from across the yard, and walking fridges. Later come robo-mowers that charge the PC and shrug off blasts, smart speakers, thermostats that crank up every robot around them and doorbell cams that snipe from the field, until tens of thousands are pouring down the valley at once and piling up against your fence. Over a full campaign you'll scrap millions. Keep the PC alive. If it goes down, the raid is lost.

Every robot drops parts. Ol' Slurpy, the yard vacuum, slurps them up, and Diabetus Dale sells them off his tailgate to a steady line of customers. Spend the cash on the Redneckology tree, one big board that grows from a single nail gun into a whole arsenal:
Guns: nail gun, Grandpa's double-barrel (upgrade it all the way to full auto), spud cannon, bottle-rocket launcher, shop-vac reverser, wood chipper, chainsaw, deer rifle, and a stack of hubcaps you throw like a shield

Throwables: Black Cat firecracker bricks, moonshine molotovs and EMP grenades

The yard: nail sentries, a deer stand, bottle rockets on the trailer roof, a propane tank slingshot strung between two oak trees, and a riding mower you can drive straight into the horde

The shop: presses that crank out your nails and shells, a tool shed that duct-tapes the PC mid-fight, and a lot more
Save up long enough and the lawnmower minigun from your first minute is yours to keep.

Nails tack in with a rising ping and ricochet off armor. The shotgun throws fat glowing buckshot and hot scrap. Hubcaps ring out CHANG off every robot they slice through. A Black Cat brick keeps popping in the middle of the crowd long after you threw it. And the minigun spins up, glows hotter the longer you hold the trigger, and leaves a river of brass at your feet.

Buy the right upgrades and the kills change too: dragon's breath melts robots into puddles, hubcaps slice them clean in half, Black Cat bricks blow them apart, and a freon tank on the shop vac freezes them solid until they shatter.MEET THE FAMILY
DIAL-UP is the PC's old modem. It talks you through every raid, roasts the robots, and will never let you forget a loss.

Diabetus Dale runs the scrap business from the bed of his pickup.

Ol' Slurpy is the yard vacuum. She'll suck up anything.

Cousin Earl mails you care packages. Scrap enough robots and the mailbox flag pops up: cash, ammo, a boost for your next raid, or a belt buckle to keep. Always earned, never sold.

The Mega-Roomba, the Fridge Mothership, the Router Overlord, the Big Screen and the Grillmaster each guard a ring of the map, and each one makes you learn something new: sidestep the charge, jump the shockwave, kill the repeaters first, shoot the tank while it glows. Beat them to push your wifi further out, then unplug HOMEBRAIN for good. Every boss you beat ends up in your yard: the Mega-Roomba fetches junk, the Fridge Mothership becomes a freezer that bombs the crowd, and the Big Screen picks your next raid's twist.FEATURES
