Beat the game this morning and really liked it. Haven't seen any threads on /v/ though.
>>736885334sometimes it was up its own arse in a kind of self aware way. not sure id it was cringe but some bits were kino, especially the bits with Tony. another weird game that has is both cringe and kino is pic related
>>736886808I knew basically nothing about it going in, so I was surprised by the midpoint tone shift (though not in an unpleasant way). I kinda wish there were more zones, but given that it's a pretty small game I'm not too disappointed.The humor was spot on the whole way through though. Had be cackling on multiple occasions
>>736885334What is this game aboutIt has an awesome trailer but I don't think I will playLooks like a game that would have an amazing scary ending
>>736888274>What is this game about"Rubato is an experimental, 2D physics-based take on the collect-a-thon genre"It's about moving forward in life without letting titles or the expectations of others define you. The game plays itself pretty straight as a collectathon early on and then takes a massive pivot about halfway through; wears its MOTHER and Hylics inspirations on its sleeve.The ending isn't scary, but it is pretty trippy.
>>736885334>>736886808Why are independent developers incapable of sincere and unsubversive design?
>>736889414I don't think "insincere" is a word I'd use to describe Rubato. Gameplay-wise it is very much a collectathon and remains that way barring the occasional minigame shakeup (which all still play with the physics system in some interesting way). It's just the visuals and narrative that operate unexpectedly
>>736889414The games that are weird and have a good aesthetic are the ones played by reaction streamers and make a lot of money from that exposure regardless of quality
>>736889414depends on the devsfor instance some other games that are sincere I've played recently are lovish, claire a la mode and motionrec.
I might give it a try tomorrow, thanks for the suggestion op.
>>736890107It’s a pretty short game. Finished it in about 7 hours (2ish play sessions)
