RUBATO, an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre!
The year is 12,012. Multiquadrillionaire monopoly "GSSAI CO." has been in power of the universe for centuries after a world-ending bioweapon was unleashed onto the masses. And now? The solar system has been destroyed by unknown celestial forces. A weapons development program run by the Earth subsidiary of "GSSAI CO." is fast progressing. And the world's denizens are disappearing.
That is until one man screws up a game of pool.
HERO OF THE STARS AND THE SKY

- Use your tongue to lick enemies and objects as you make your way through open metroidvania-like areas, whilst collecting "Planet Bits" to help fix the solar system!
WELCOME TO RUBATO WORLD

- 5 compact, densely packed areas ranging from a huge sprawling bakery to the world's most poorly planned city. Uncover secrets and shortcuts in every corner of the world.
IF I COULD ONLY LOVE

- A strange, funny plot with a deep focus on humour and character writing. It gets silly. It gets serious. Really concerningly serious. Uh. Is the guy who made this game okay..?
BUT FIRST, LOVE YOURSELF

- To save the world, you must save yourself first. Find yourself again.

!!!!!! RUBATO !!!!!!!
Please this is such a good game im not really into platformers but this is such a good game
if you make it past the boss, make sure to check out the little customization shop at the end, theres some silly skins to use
I love the storyline and the art! The game feels amazing and the controls are really creative! This game is unique and could blow up when it's done! I REALLY LOVE THIS GAME!
Made a video
how cute
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 xDReally fun! Except the part where I switched items after using the missile launcher and crashed...
