About The Unlikely Legend of Rusty Pup
THE UNLIKELY LEGEND BEGINS....
'Our story begins, down a drain we are flushed. Did we slip ? Did we fall? Or was it a push?'
From the original creators of Conker's Bad Fur Day, comes a delicately told tale of a dog which thinks it's a toy, or is it a toy that thinks it's a dog?
Lost and alone in a richly detailed 2D world, you must help lead our sad pooch back home again......Just in time for tea.
EXPLORE...
'Don’t just sit there and skulk, or curl up for a sulk. Lift that tail I implore, for it’s time we explore.'
Not for the faint-hearted, explore this dark and dingy labyrinth. Avoid its pitfalls, exploit its treasure, relish its marvels and so save those souls from a fate worse than death.
NURTURE...
'What a horrible thing, bubbling brains in a jar. I suspect without these, we won't get too far.'
Light the way, drop in shadow, lay a scent, break his fall, grab a friend, fill that belly, make a bridge, set the fuse, plant a bomb, trap the monster, be his eyes and his heart, feed him up, wind that clock.
BUILD...
'Oh! With darkness around, foul creatures abound. Over here, out of sight, perhaps there’s a light?'
Afraid of the dark, afraid of the depths, afraid even of his own shadow, Rusty needs his master. Resources abound, find them fast and forge new paths..
Keep him on track but don't dawdle too much, lest time catches up.
PROTECT...
'A Monster dazed, but not forever. You sailed unscathed, beneath its lever.'
The murk and dank are not the only foes, for in these depths lurk others who've made this place their home. Sometimes they help, but most just don't care.
You're passing through so stay alert and lay a path, that gentle nudge, that double bluff to bring our pup a little closer...To home.
CHERISH...
'Lazy Pooch, wants to snooze. Scratch his ear? Let him kip? Up to you, time to choose.'
And yet, this little pup has a mind of his own, so keep one eye on your friend but stay mindful of the daunting tasks that lay hidden ahead of him.
Push him or cojole, trap him or avoid, awake or in slumber, Rusty will usually do as he is done by. Usually !

its a game i really wanted to like but it ended up not clicking with me. i love the presentation. the look of the game, the sounds, the voice acting, the character designs. all great. the puzzles and overall gameplay design are not great. the game is just too heavy on trial and error: start a new stage, wait for rusty pup to go on his set direction and die, restart the stage, make a little bit more progress, see rusty die again, restart the stage, repeat. a big problem is how there's teleporters but you're never certain where the other end of the teleporter is going to be. the teleporters are color coded but with how big most of the stages are and the fact that the teleporters are obscured by darkness you can't really tell which teleporters which, or even what's supposed to be a teleporter. you can't stop and think about your next move either: there's a time limit, and a very strict one at that. basically one mistake and the time runs out. back to the beginning of the stage. no checkpoints, no speedup option, no nothing. so what should have been a relaxing puzzle game experience ends up being an annoying, frustrating escort mission type game. it's unfortunate that i ended up no…2 found this helpful
underrated game!!1 found this helpful
Best indie game I've ever played. The visuals are phenomenal, the soundtrack fits perfectly, the game play is unique and enjoyable, and overall is such a creative game that I'm glad to have played. The game is pretty difficult, but that's honestly a good thing. I feel like solving the puzzles requires thinking outside the box and it really feels accomplishing to complete. Trial and Error is a very common process in this game but they execute it so well that it doesn't really get repetitive. I haven't completed the game yet but the more I play, the more I want to. If you are thinking about buying this game, my advice to you is to do it. Best decision you could ever make.1 found this helpful
Rusty is a good pup 🐶👌
Epic rhymes
This game needs to get more attention, the amount of effort on this game is unreal. you guide a rusty pup through the darkness using different kinds of platforms and lights to lead them to safety or guide them away from danger, get him to the brains so they can continue on. the animation is so smooth and the setting is so atmospheric, and the voice acting for the narrator is well done. i recommend this game to people who loves puzzle games
