Nubby is the titular tritagonist of the 2025 indie strategy arcade game Nubby's Number Factory. He is the seemingly lab-created mascot of the titular number manufacturer, and a tool used in making numbers and prolonging the lifespan of the sun.

Overview

Nubby is a small bouncy orb with a deformed humanoid face and ears, as well as indigo skin. There are multiple Nubbys, possibly through cloning.

Nubby is able to bounce off of pegs, popping them in the process and adding to your score which is needed to keep the aforementioned sun from exploding. He can achieve more pegs popped by gaining items from the Shop, Cafe, and Black Market. These items are very powerful, ranging from Electric Sockets and 3-D Glasses to Aliens and "All-Seeing Eyes".

All the items you can find help Nubby achieve the factory's goal of making numbers bigger and bigger, as the numbers get bigger you make your way from the Factory, to the Stratosphere, to The Moon, to The Sun Temple, and in endless, The Universe.

Trivia

• Nubby was originally cyan.
• It's incredibly unclear whether Nubby is a sapient creature or not, much less whether or not he willingly participates in the creating of numbers. Some of the images attached to the challenges depict Nubby displaying human emotions, but this doesn't really imply anything.
• It's also unclear whether Nubby is a species or one entity cloned numerous times.
  • MogDogBlog Productions has confirmed that a lore section will be added in an upcoming update, which will likely clear up these mysteries.
• Nubby sports a similar appearance to the item "Poop Butt", which is also a round inhuman creature with a humanoid face, although Poop Butt has pasty white skin (or light-green skin, depending on the circumstances), a different facial structure and a pair of overly detailed feet, whereas Nubby is indigo and limbless.
  • Additionally, the sun, for whatever reason, appears physically identical to Nubby (besides having yellow skin).
