It's him!

RUBATO, an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre!

  • RUBATO is an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre.
  • Use your tongue to lick enemies and objects to make your way through metroidvania-like areas, whilst collecting "Planet Bits" to help fix the solar system!
  • A strange, funny plot with a deep focus on humour and character writing. It gets silly.
  • Developed mostly by one person, with help from a small art team.
  • 5 uniquely themed areas ranging from a huge sprawling bakery to the world's most poorly planned city.
  • Around 10 hours long. 12-15 hours long if you're new to action games and platformers. Potentially 500,000+ hours if you take an hour break every time you blink.

this is the most ive been interested in a game in a long time. I started a project similar to this one but I couldn't get the right feel so I dropped it. I'm glad someone is giving the idea justice. Keep it up

What an interesting game! Looking great and would assume you have even better plans in the future for this game! Well, I am glad to let you know you have made it at the very top of best games list from 134 different games that I reviewed yestereday!


I am doing this new idea to have a place for indie games and devs where they be even more shown to public! I intend to keep doing this more with your support, would appreciate you subscribing to the channel to spread the words of this new project I am doing! Hopefully daily xD

Really fun! Except the part where I switched items after using the missile launcher and crashed...
