Ruff Rogers, while playing with his marbles in the park, loses one down a rabbit hole, and follows it down. The rabbit hole turns out to be a teleport to an alien planet.
The planet, ruled by the mad Dr. Destiny, is home to a fearsome army of robots called Tinheads. Ruff finds that his marble collection has been scattered across the planet, and embarks on a quest to reclaim his collection, and free the planet from Destiny and his Tinhead Army.
Ruff 'n' Tumble is a Platform shoot 'em up. Ruff runs, jumps and shoots through each level, destroying the Tinhead robots with his multi-projectile gun, capable of shooting bullets, laser, missiles or becoming a flame thrower (depending on what power-ups are collected during the level).
Each level is completed by collecting a set number of coloured marbles (red, green and blue). Upon collecting all of the marbles, the exit to the level is unlocked.
There are 4 worlds in the game, each with 4 main levels in them, and a fifth Boss level. They are:
Each world features its own variety of enemies, traps, and industrial metal-style soundtrack.
Ruff n' Tumble uses a password system that enables the player to access the first level of the specific world.
