About This Game

GHALYAN'S HOOKAH LOUNGE IS UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT!

A co-op shopkeeper simulator for you and up to three friends. Your cargo pod just docked at a space station with empty pockets and a run-down hookah lounge to take over. Serve the customers, take their money and put it all back into the place, one upgrade at a time. The last owner left in a hurry. Nobody asked why.

FROM BARE WALLS TO THE COZIEST SPOT ON THE STATION

Every dollar goes back into your shop. Roll out carpets, hang paintings, install an aquarium, open the drive-thru, upgrade the lounge and take the elevator up to a second floor full of VIPs. Every upgrade shows up in the lounge and brings in more cash. Become the best shopkeepers in the galaxy, or at least the loudest. Money left over? Buy a G-String.

GRAVITY NOT INCLUDED

Everything on this station runs on real physics, and that includes you. Stand in front of the wrong hatch and you get launched into space. Fall from too high and you hit the floor like a sack of potatoes. Every now and then the gravity generator cuts out, and hookahs, coals, customers and crewmates all lift off the floor. When it kicks back in, everything in the air lands at once. Thanks to proximity chat, everyone hears you panic before they see why.

THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS HUNGRY

Ships drop off a steady stream of alien customers, and some pull up to the drive-thru without even landing. Keep them waiting and they storm out. Keep them happy and they tip. Most of them just want a smoke. Some of them want to eat the staff.

THE BOWL WON'T PACK ITSELF

Pack the bowl, stretch the foil, poke the holes, heat the coals. Then do it all again, faster, because table six is getting angry. Brew coffee, pour tea, blend Nebulas, microwave burgers and get every order to the right alien before their patience runs out.

SOMEBODY HAS TO WIPE TABLE SIX

Between orders, the lounge still needs you. Clear the tables as soon as customers leave. Carry hot coals to the hookahs without setting yourself on fire. Mop up after the customer who couldn't hold it in, and restock supplies before the shelves run dry. Split the jobs with your crew or run the whole shop solo.

AI Generated Content Disclosure

The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this:

Every alien, every corner of the lounge and every animation in Hubble Bubble was made by hand. Generative AI helped us with the text on this store page and the game's translations, the steam achievement icons, and some of the musics, wall paintings all hand-picked by our team.

Nothing is generated while you play, so every shift at Ghalyan's runs on the same finished content for every crew.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Hubble Bubble is set in a hookah lounge, so preparing, serving and smoking hookah is part of the core gameplay. It is shown as a social ritual between friends, never glamorized and never treated as a reward.

The game is also a physics comedy. Characters get thrown around the room and knocked over, but it is all cartoon slapstick: no blood, no gore, no weapons.

Online co-op includes proximity voice chat, so interactions between players are not controlled by us and are not rated.
