Hustle is an incremental open-world survival-crafting game and top-down shooter set on a tiny planet, inspired by Forager and Enter the Gungeon. You are a man hunting down the guy who stole his red cap and exposed his bald head. You shoot resources to gather them, build and expand a base, unlock an arsenal of strange weapons, fight bosses and expand the map itself.

Steam 250 weekly chart: #37 on the Top 50 Games of the Past Week, scored 7.04 from 26 reviews at 100% positive, released 19 October 2026. Chart position via Steam 250.

Key features

Shooting as the gathering verb

You collect resources by shooting at them. Merging the combat input and the economy input means there is never a mode switch between fighting and farming, which is the friction that makes most survival-crafting games feel like two games stapled together.

The map expands rather than being revealed

Exploration unlocks new land instead of uncovering existing fog. Buying the world outward turns map size into a progression reward, so the incremental loop has somewhere to spend money that is not another stat increase.

A trivial motivation for a long game

The entire plot is retrieving a stolen hat. Keeping the stakes deliberately small is a reasonable fit for an incremental game: the loop supplies the reason to keep playing, so the story only needs to supply a direction, and a bigger narrative would compete with the numbers going up.

Where to find it

Hustle is on Steam for $5.99, developed and published by solo developer Facundo Tabárez. Fully voiced in English and Spanish, with full controller support.
