Jantaku Boy is one of those weird little Game Boy titles that somehow sticks with you. At first glance, it's just another pixelated adventure, but there's something oddly satisfying about the way it plays—like if someone took a board game and mashed it up with an RPG-lite. You roll dice, move spaces, and deal with random events that can either screw you over or hand you an easy win.

I remember getting stuck on this one level where landing on a certain space kept triggering a mini-game I was terrible at. Took me way too many tries to figure out a workaround. The music’s got that classic Game Boy chiptune vibe, too—simple but catchy in a way modern games rarely pull off.

If you’ve got a soft spot for retro oddities, this one’s worth a few hours of your time. Just don’t expect anything deep—it’s pure, dumb fun from a simpler era.
