Kesamaru on Game Boy is one of those weird little gems that somehow sticks with you. The first thing you notice is the chunky pixel art—bright colors, simple sprites, but with this weirdly charming personality. The music’s got that classic bleep-bloop energy, the kind that gets stuck in your head after just a few minutes.

Gameplay’s a mix of platforming and puzzles, but not in the way you’d expect. You’re not just jumping on enemies—you’re pushing blocks, dodging traps, figuring out how to get past obstacles that seem impossible until you spot the one weird trick the game doesn’t tell you about. At first, I kept dying to the same spike pit over and over, but once it clicks, it feels so satisfying.

It’s not super long, but there’s a surprising amount of variety in the levels. Some are pure platforming chaos, others make you stop and think. And yeah, it’s got that old-school difficulty—no hand-holding here. If you’ve got a soft spot for Game Boy-era quirks, this one’s worth a play.
