Keep the Ship Moving
Momentum Is the Win Condition
If the ship stops, the run ends. Every layout choice is ultimately a decision about keeping thrust above the line.
One Power Budget
Defence and production draw from the same pool. Overbuilding turrets is how a run quietly starves itself.
Design Corridors, Not Turrets
Breaches are announced in advance. Turrets do the killing, but traps, barricades and crew decide where the killing happens.
Humans Are a Resource
The game treats crew as material like any other, and it never lets you forget it for long.

What is Hull Rupture?
Hull Rupture is a base-management tower-defence roguelite from Konfa Games, published by tinyBuild. You play Despot, an AI dictator steering the last human warship toward the Galactic Union's homeworld.
It launched on Steam on November 4, 2026 at USD 14.99, with 10% off to USD 13.49 during the launch window. Ships have to keep moving, modules have to keep producing, and aliens breach the hull exactly where the game warned you they would.

Hull Rupture Guide Sections
The eight sections this guide is built around: getting started, the release, platforms, reception, defense, modules, ships and the community.
Hull Rupture Guide
Start here: why momentum is the only win condition, what to build in the first ten minutes, and the mistakes that end a run before the first real wave.
Hull Rupture Release and Demo
Released November 4, 2026 on Steam for Windows, macOS and Linux, after a Next Fest demo and an open playtest.
Hull Rupture Platforms
PC first and only, but across all three desktop systems. Consoles and phones are wishes, not ports.
Hull Rupture Review and Reception
What the launch coverage actually says, minus the trailer hype: a factory game wearing a tower defense coat, with a dark-comedy AI narrator.
Hull Rupture Defense
Aliens do not walk to a gate - they cut a hole where they like. Defense is corridor design, not turret spam.
Hull Rupture Modules
Production chains, power budget and repairs. The ship is a machine that converts resources, materials and people into forward motion.
Hull Rupture Ships and Modes
Three hulls, six modes and four modifiers change the loss thresholds, the pacing and what counts as a good decision.
Three ship models with different layouts, systems and acceptable loss thresholds
Six modes, including a combat-free Trade mode built around economic pressure instead of waves
Four modifiers stack on top, so the same hull plays differently run to run
Unlockable artifacts and ships carry between runs, which is how a roguelite gets easier over time
Runs are scored, so clean momentum management is worth more than a lucky artifact
Hull Rupture Community
Where the studio posts, where runs get compared, and where the meta is being argued about right now.
