​

RubberBoy is a 2D side-scrolling auto-runner game with procedurally-generated levels. You play as an anthropomorphic eraser, RubberBoy, who became alive after orange juice was accidentally spilt on you. Escape the RubberBoy factory you were created in, jumping and sliding through its 3 procedurally-generated floors. Run away from the Boss to experience freedom, before he catches you! 

​

Collect the Topper power-up to protect you from obstacles for 10 seconds, or the Crayon to heal 1 HP. As you jump and slide through the levels, you collect pieces of paper, which fills up a meter. Fill up the meter up to max, and your score rapidly increases for a brief period of time. 

​

Unique Features
