Karamucho Ziken is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that somehow sticks with you. The pixel art has that chunky, early-90s charm—think bright colors and characters with way more personality than their tiny sprites should allow.

At first glance, it seems simple, but there’s this sneaky depth to the gameplay. You’re thrown into these bite-sized challenges that start easy, then suddenly you’re sweating over timing jumps or figuring out the quirks of each level. I remember getting stuck on one stage for way too long before realizing the solution was something totally unexpected.

It’s not a long game, but it’s the kind of thing you’ll replay just to shave seconds off your time or finally nail that one tricky section. If you’ve got a soft spot for oddball retro games, this one’s worth digging up.
