Junk Store Tested - September 08, 2025
Kia ora Everyone!
We love being back on board our boat after winter - we really missed the calming nature of living on the water full time. We’re slowly getting back into the rhythms of boat life, and the weather has been quite a mixed bag of good and not-so-good days. It makes each day interesting as we work with and around whatever weather conditions get thrown at us, but honestly, we love it - even after almost 9 years of this lifestyle!
Anyway, on to what you came for - let’s see how last week’s giveaways fared.

Looking Forward
It’s been quite a busy weekend as we’ve been tweaking our tools and workflows to make things run more smoothly. We’re hoping to roll out some more helpful tips this week that should benefit both new and current users alike. We’re also planning to make a concerted effort to start chipping away at our testing backlog - luckily it’s not growing anymore, but it’s certainly not getting any smaller either!
We hope you’re having a wonderful time wherever you are in the world, and as always, if you’ve got any questions about these games or Junk Store in general, please don’t hesitate to reach out through our community channels.
Cheers,
The Junk Store Team
