- DESCRIPTION -
In every pub of town there is a pool table full of idiots. And you're a hustler, you can smell it. You don't miss this kind of opportunity. For you it's just another day at the office. But for the old men who keeps losing, things are getting grim. One of them runs out of money and you burn him with a cigarette. It's about sending a message. But before you can say anything, three old men, perhaps out of class solidarity, break their bottles and try stabbing you. The old men call the police, the police calls an intergalactic motomami force, the mamis call some of their alchemist friends who enjoy a brawl and now a prosaic bar brawl suddenly resembles a battlefield.

Welcome to Side Hustle.

Play as a hustler having to deal with the consequences of his bad attitude. Collect power-ups and scale your ability to deal with enemy shot. You better. Theirs are going to scale pretty fast. You'll see.
