About the Game


Navigate the wasteland of an unknown planet ravaged by mining operations using Rustbucket's unique twin-stick mechanic. Control an old, rusty robot equipped with a special shield that can be used traditionally or thrown like a disc. Use the right stick to guide the shield‘s flight path to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.

Explore the Wasteland


Venture through the wasteland and discover its different regions. Along the way, meet friendly machines and face others unable to move beyond their old protocols, still holding onto the echoes of a bygone era.

Defeat the Old Leaders


Defend your town from the remnants of the old mining regime. Locate its former leaders, prevent the operation from coming back online, and stop them once and for all.

Head Back to Scrap Town


Return home to take a break from the action, upgrade yourself, and progress the story before heading back out into the wasteland.

Rustbuckets on PC is best experienced with a controller.
