About

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 contains flashing lights which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
