SCRAP is a fast-paced action game rooted in Hawaiian values and culture. Stand up for the ‘āina (land), protect the community, and scrap with aloha. You play as a local warrior defending your island from disrespectful behavior — from taking rocks to touching turtles. Battle through escalating arcs of challenging boss fights, each inspired by real-life issues faced in Hawai‘i. Unlock unique gear, earn cosmetics, and collect coconut tickets in a game built with heart, humor, and local pride. FEATURES • Arc-Based Boss Battles: Face off against 10 unique arcs, each highlighting a different kind of disrespectful act, ending in intense and meaningful boss fights. • Customize Your Warrior: Equip headgear, torsos, arms, and legs with both stat-based gear and cosmetics to reflect your style. • SCRAP With Aloha: Gameplay balances hard-hitting action with messages of compassion, kuleana (responsibility), and pono (righteousness). • Coconut Draw: Win exclusive cosmetics, rare outfits, and more. • Pupu: Earn in-game currency through wins, perfect blocks, and completing arcs. • Cutscenes With Mana: Hand-crafted story scenes that reflect the emotional journey of each arc. • Supporter System: Subscribe to unlock monthly perks and exclusive cosmetic sets — 100% optional, 100% appreciated. SCRAP was created with respect for Hawai‘i, by people who care deeply about protecting the culture, land, and people. It’s a game for those who understand — and those who want to.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Reload Weapons holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reload Weapons has 2.9K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Reload Weapons's written reviews are positive against 100% of SCRAP by emptypenz's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Reload Weapons ships an update every 8 days, SCRAP by emptypenz every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 10, 2026 respectively.
