About Hustle

Maneuver a moving arrow into randomly appearing targets to accumulate a high score. In one or two-player modes, players use the arrow's trailing tail to block opponents from reaching objectives. The difficulty fluctuates as targets change position, point value, and screen duration, requiring rapid reaction times to intercept them before they disappear.

Player layout in our catalog: 2P sim.

If you are exploring by feel rather than by title, jump from the tags above into the matching genre rooms, or return to the Arcade hall for the full wall.

Open Play on this page to start Hustle. Keyboard, USB/Bluetooth pads, and the on-screen touch gamepad all work inside the emulator bar. Save states and fullscreen live on that same bar so you can pause mid-session and resume later.
