Rust & Shine
Scrub. Reveal. Get rich.
A cozy incremental about making rust shine.
Rust & Shine is a cozy incremental game about restoring forgotten antiques. Corroded junk lands on your bench, scrub, blast, and polish it until it gleams, then sell it and build a workshop that runs itself.
You never know what an item is until it's clean.
That crusted lump might be trash. It might be Legendary.
🔥 A bigger demo is coming
The next version of Rust & Shine has way more content: new items, new tools, deeper progression, and dropping exclusively as a Steam Playtest.

It would be cool if you could make the graphic tablet recognizable. I dont know if it already works and i messed up the setting but it would make it even better
Could you please explain what you mean by "the graphic tablet are not recognizable"? Do you mean making the cleaned items more visually clear, or are you referring to something else?
I have a wacom tablet, and i thought it would be cool to try and use it as the cursor, but i saw that the game doesn't take the input of the pen. I changed some settings, it would get the click input but not the stroke, so nothing would get clean, just move the cursor around. It would feel even more immersive by using the tablet, like you are actually cleaning the objects with the tools. But i saw that anyway later on the big part of the game is automized so it become less frequent you cleaning each piece one by one.
i know that 0,05% of people would actually use one for playing so if its hard to implement don't worry, the game is nice already, i just thought it would be a nice more immersive input
i forgot the auto brush button, what is it again?
Click H for auto brush
thank you
wonder if water gun meant to be this powerful even unupgraded, and MAKE SELL BUTTON BIGGER UUUUGH
It will be balanced in the next update. Thanks for your feedback!
no pls its perfect
I have no idea how, but I somehow got into debt and I can't prestige.
You weren't supposed to reach that point LOL, you literally broke the demo! It will be fixed in the next update.
You've done a fantastic job with this game, and I appreciate your response.
why let us have the prestige with upgrades and not let us continue just on the first shop plus i never even bought the overclock
It will be fixed in the next update, and you'll be able to use the Prestige system and play more runs.
oh thank god
Can't wait to play the full game! Wishlisted!
Wishlisted!!!!
Love the concept!!!
Some items seem to be mislabeled: "Winged Ring" features no wings anywhere and "Skull Pendant" is a bandanna rather than a pendant and "Gear Charm" doesn't seem to have any gears. I don't have enough of the catalog to see if maybe these have flipped names with other items?
Overall the game was too easy, I did not get the point why you even would buy the scrub upgrade when water gun is enough for everything endlessly.
After finally deciding to buy different upgrades like scrub tool, I didn't like the forced prestige since I didn't even hit any ceiling and prestige upgrade were very boring and small to continue playing for me.
im pretty sure i broke ur game. what i did was basically ignore all "story" / "mission" upgrades, i only used the water gun to get around 1 million dollars, then i bought everything else except for those things which move the story forward to the "prestige" part and now im stuck here. cannot prestige or anything. there should be a "prestige" button that you can click on your own. also prestige should never be forced in a game imo. anyway it was fun tho i liked it, great job!
I wouldn't believe that if I hadn't seen your screenshot! You actually broke the game and reached content beyond the demo. My question is: how much time did it take you to get that far
It took me less than an hour, maybe 30-45 min?
I'm having trouble trying to deliver things to the dispatch pipe? I guess the issue was that it's not clear what the rarity of items is.
White is common, blue is rare, and gold is legendary. I’ll try to explain that more clearly in the next update to make things easier to understand.
this game is so fun! at first i wanted to sue because i'm scrubbing stuff with a wire brush and hurts my wrist. Workman's Comp! But quickly enough was able to buy pressure washer and automation, to speed things up. The treasure hunting in this game is fun. Includes stuff our kids these days probably have never seen or used, like Polaroid Instant Cameras and calculator watches. Good job Dev! :)
Some chilled gameplay, and a scattering of critique ;)
Hey, thanks for playing! I love your energy. We've taken note of all your feedback, and we're releasing a new update today with new content, gameplay improvements, and several bug fixes.
Game is too short, but very addictive
its a demo
We're going to release a new version today with more content.
The buttons to switch stores look disabled. It took a long time for me to figure out that there were more things I could buy.
It's fixed now. Thanks for reporting it!
