Ruby’s Realms

Ruby’s Realms is a puzzle-platforming game about Ruby, who awakens in a shadowy realm after her mother vanished long ago. Fragmented memories lead Ruby beneath the fortress of Vianden and through portals into worlds twisted by witchcraft. You explore hand-built levels, solve puzzles, leap across platforms and use magic flames to fight enemies while searching for secrets and collectibles.

Realms and dangers

Each realm brings different hazards. Green swamps contain toxic sludge, orange factories have crushers and blades, and blue depths require you to swim through hidden caves. Pink alien zones are filled with bizarre life. Ruby also faces hooded cultists who cast spells, skeletons that rise from the ground and possessed birds to dodge.

Upgrades and allies

Defeated enemies drop glowing XP orbs, and blue orbs and hidden sacks provide upgrade points. You can spend points at Skully’s shop: Skully is a skeleton bartender and Ruby’s buddy, who appears on screens with tips and upgrades such as extra health and faster shots. As Ruby levels up, she can take on tougher areas.

• Custom upgrades let you focus on speed, agility or raw power.
• Friendly skeletons provide lighter moments in the dark world.
• You can replay levels to find missed collectibles and pursue full completion.

Story and presentation

The story follows Ruby’s search for her missing mother through family ties and twists. Short levels keep the pace brisk, while pixel art and a soundtrack accompany the moody realms.
