Project Rub

Project Rub for Nintendo DS is an unusual and creative game that takes full advantage of the handheld's unique features. Developed by Sonic Team and originally released under the title Feel the Magic: XY/XX, the game offers a mix of skill challenges and a humorous, romantic story.

You take on the role of a shy young man who falls in love with an attractive woman. To win her attention, he joins an eccentric group of artists called the "Rub Rabbits". This group helps him to master all kinds of crazy and humorous challenges - anything to impress his beloved.

The gameplay consists of 29 varied mini-games that often rely on the creative use of the Nintendo DS, for example with the touch screen, microphone or motion control. The tasks are just as bizarre as the story: from trying to rescue a goldfish stuck in a man's stomach to balancing on a unicycle, everything is included. These mini-games are embedded in a humorous narrative and provide plenty of entertainment.

Visually, Project Rub impresses with its minimalist, comic-like style. The characters are often depicted as silhouettes, which gives the game a modern and artistic charm. Cut-scenes in comic strip format underline the unique visual style.

The music is catchy and supports the quirky, humorous atmosphere of the game. Some of the recurring voice samples, such as the characteristic "Rub it!", are particularly memorable and contribute to the humorous mood.

Project Rub is a refreshingly different experience for the Nintendo DS that leaves the conventions of classic gameplay behind and instead focuses on creative ideas and a humorous presentation. It's perfect for players looking for an unconventional, entertaining adventure.
