About Rubato
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.
