Gensan 2 is one of those Game Boy games that feels like it got lost in time—no big marketing, no hype, just pure late-night-under-the-blanket-with-a-worm-light energy. You start off with this little pixel dude (or dudette, who knows) running through these chunky, colorful levels that somehow make the Game Boy’s limited palette work magic. The controls are tight—jumping feels snappy, and there’s this weird satisfaction in bonking enemies on the head, like an old-school Mario but with its own weird charm.

At first glance, it seems simple, but then you hit a level where the platforms start moving or the enemies gang up on you, and suddenly you’re leaning into the screen like it’ll help. There’s no hand-holding, just trial and error in the best way. And yeah, the music’s got that classic bleep-bloop vibe—catchy in a way that’ll stick in your head for days. If you’ve got a soft spot for games that don’t overexplain themselves, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t blame me when you get stuck on that one jump for half an hour.
