Plan your next RUBATO session
Our independent guide offers deeper observations on RUBATO’s documented systems, helping players compare mechanics, map areas, and evaluate comfort settings without promising hidden rewards or shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Analyzing Tongue Interactions
Test the tongue on several enemy types and on environmental objects. Note any differences in physics reactions and consider how these variations could affect later combat strategies.
- Notice how humorous details in the environment can hint at hidden paths.
- Listen for dialogue that foreshadows later plot developments.
02 / THE GUIDE
Mapping Area Shortcuts
Sketch each zone and mark discovered shortcuts. Compare early sketches with later ones after gaining new abilities to see how shortcuts reduce travel distance.
- Try licking different objects to observe varied physics responses.
- Use the tongue ability for both attacking foes and manipulating obstacles.
03 / THE GUIDE
Balancing Difficulty Settings
Play a short segment on default difficulty, then repeat on an adjusted level. Record changes in enemy behavior and puzzle complexity to decide which setting fits your preferred challenge.
- Create a mental map of each area to remember shortcut locations.
- Return to earlier zones after acquiring new abilities to test new routes.
04 / THE GUIDE
Evaluating Controller Comfort
Switch between DualShock and DualSense controllers, noting button placement and how each controller feels during tongue actions. Choose the controller that feels most responsive for you.
- Enable Camera Comfort if rapid camera shifts feel disorienting.
- Adjust difficulty early to match your preferred challenge.
05 / THE GUIDE
Assessing Accessibility Options
Activate Camera Comfort and play without timed input. Observe how navigation and pacing feel in tight spaces, and decide if these options improve your overall experience.
- Test both DualShock and DualSense controllers to see which feels more natural for tongue actions.
- Enable Steam Cloud if you plan to reinstall or play on multiple PCs.
