A downloadable game for Windows and Linux

Ruff Rogers follows a runaway marble through a rabbit hole and lands on an alien world ruled by Doctor Destiny. His collection has been scattered across four hostile worlds, and Destiny's robot army stands between Ruff and every last one. 

The original *Ruff 'n' Tumble*, developed by Wunderkind and published by Renegade Software in 1994, was one of the Amiga's finest action platformers: fast, beautifully animated, packed with enormous levels, and built around the simple pleasure of running, jumping, exploring, and opening fire. This reimplementation brings the complete campaign to modern systems. Fight through sixteen large stages and four boss battles across the Fantasy Forest, Underground Mine, Tinhead Factory, and Doctor Destiny's Castle. Collect the required red, green, and blue marbles, hunt down keys and switches, survive traps and moving machinery, and reach the exit with Ruff still in one piece.
