RUBATO, an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre!
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 17 → 1.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
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.
RUBATO contains flashing lights which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.

Note that i played before the Director's Cut came out, but: This game is absolutely phenominal! a wonderful treat. please play this game.
This game is something special, there’s a few hiccups here and there, but overall it’s a great experience. Best experienced blind.
It's generally those games that are best to go in blind to. genuinely one of the more interesting games that i've played that have came out this year.

RUBATO was one of the few games that made me sit up at night thinking about it's ending and narrative after I finished it, and a game where I am actively searching online for discussion. It's so different, and good for most of it's gameplay. I'm so glad I played this game blind. Please give it a chance, especially if you like something out of the ordinary. I will construct a massive billboard with beacons and noisemakers that says ILOVERUBATOANDYOUSHOULDTOO so that more people in the world play (and appreciate) this indie.
I rarely write reviews but this game honestly deserves one. I went into this game not knowing what it was exactly I just saw funny frog collect-a-thon and wow this game blew me away what a great experience it was!!!! I highly recommend trying to go in with as little knowledge about the game as possible!!!! Fantastic experience will recommend this to everyone enjoying collect-a-thon gameplay and having a silly time with some twists!
Dang... WHAT A GAME!!! Really fun silly platformer challanges and then a story that kinda just... WOW goes places in silly and sincere!!! also... CUTE CRITTERS!!! >w</
actually one of the greatest platformers ever made
A true work of art.

Genuinely a heart throbbing experience. Recommended for those who play 2D platformers, fans of exploration and wackiness, and those who enjoy an in-depth story.
