Doraemon Kite Fly is one of those simple but weirdly satisfying Flash games where you control Doraemon flying a kite through the sky. The controls are dead simple—just arrow keys—but don’t let that fool you. Trees, birds, and random obstacles come at you fast, and the kite’s hitbox feels just slightly bigger than it should be, so you’ll scrape against stuff when you swear you had clearance.

First time I played, I lasted maybe 10 seconds before smacking into a tree branch. The kite physics are floaty in that classic Flash game way, so you’ve gotta anticipate turns early. It’s the kind of game where you’ll immediately hit retry because "this time I’ve got it," only to faceplant into a flock of pigeons. Nostalgic, frustrating, and weirdly charming.
