About
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.
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!
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.
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..?
To save the world, you must save yourself first. Find yourself again.

This was the first game to ever sell a rubatillion copies
"RUBATO, an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre." I love RUBATO so much, and I recommend it to anyone who loves the collect-a-thon genre!! It's comedic at so many points, and it genuinely had me amazed by the sheer effort put into this awesome game. Seriously. This game has me a choke-hold over how much I laughed. Owch!

A real frog was used to get the physics right. Frog Physics.

REALLY AWESOME AND FUN GAMEPLAY !!! I love all the mechanics, all the skins, all the characters...,, such a charming game !
Hard to describe how amazing this game was. It really made me Rub a Toe.... Seriously , if you like games with fun gimmicks and platforming its perfect for you! And if you like an undertale type of comedy.
things just happen in this game and it's awesome, the platforming and physics are also a joy to play with, music and art are all great and the story is also cool 8/10 i would kill for some dlc or a sequel
itz rlly good
Este videojuego RUBATO me salvó la vida. Tengo 45 RUBATOS. Mi esposa y yo tenemos un hijo juntos, y adoptamos 4 gatos y un perro juntos. Todos tienen más de 4 RUBATOS, excepto el gato nuevo, que tiene 1 RUBATO. Esto será importante más adelante. Cuando estábamos navegando por nuestro feed de STEAM, me encontré perdida y miserable. Era autodestructivo. Un día me enojé tanto leyendo los comentarios de STEAM que tomé a mi gatito de 1 RUBATO y comencé a acariciarlo. Es una técnica de relajación que aprendí mientras servía en la Legión Extranjera RUBATA. Lo acaricié tan fuerte que me rompí el quinto RUBATO de la mano derecha... mi mano de JUGAR RUBATO... mi mano "especial"... la mano con la que levantaba a mi hijo de 135 RUBATOS a la cama con una sola mano. La mano que necesitaba desesperadamente para asegurarme de poder seguir proveyendo.
Easily my favorite game of this year! Went in completely blind and so glad that I did. Everyone should experience the love and joy that is RUBATO.
