About game
Mechanical companions often end up in pieces when they wander too far from their charging stations. Rusties turns you into the lead engineer for a quirky workshop where every scrap robot needs a helping hand to get back on track. You spend your time scanning the moving conveyor belt for specific mechanical components that match the silhouette of your current visitor. Dragging the belt allows you to sift through a surplus of junk until you find the exact piece required to complete a limb or circuit. Each successful assembly triggers a satisfying transformation that brings the machine back to life. Building your scrap collection fills up a digital album that lets you review the history and personality of every bot you have saved. Patience helps as you hunt for elusive hardware passing by on the line. Play Rusties for free directly in your browser without any downloads or registration required.
How to play
On a computer, hold the left mouse button on the conveyor and drag sideways. On a phone, swipe the belt left or right. Check the parts list above it to see what the current robot needs.
Click or tap a matching component to send it into place. A job that needs several copies of the same part requires a separate selection for each one. Scroll an empty tray off screen to refill it.
Once all required pieces arrive, let the assembly finish and choose “Next robot” to continue. Open the Collection tab to view the characters you have repaired.
