Okay, so Daruman Busters is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that somehow makes throwing things at daruma dolls way more intense than it sounds. You start off in this tiny pixel world where these round, grinning darumans just keep popping up everywhere—walls, floors, even floating mid-air—and your job is to clear them out before they overrun the screen.

The first few levels trick you into thinking it’s easy, but then the patterns get sneaky. Some darumans bounce, others split when you hit them, and suddenly you’re frantically lining up shots while dodging their weird little projectiles. The music’s got that classic bleep-bloop charm, and the controls are simple (just move and shoot), but the timing gets brutal fast.

Honestly, it’s the kind of game you pick up for five minutes and then realize an hour’s gone by because you have to beat that one level where they swarm from all sides. If you’re into retro games that don’t hold your hand, this one’s a blast—just don’t blame me when you start seeing darumans in your dreams.
