Play Kisekko Gurumi (j)(mugs) Online

Kisekko Gurumi was a Japan only Game Boy Advance release from 2004, developed by M2. It arrived in the later years of the GBA's life, a period filled with experimental titles that tried new things on the established hardware. You don't play as a single character here, but instead control a small, round creature named Mugs who can absorb the abilities of defeated enemies. This core mechanic defines the entire experience.

Your main goal is to navigate a series of interconnected, screen by screen rooms, clearing them of enemies to progress. The key action is touching an enemy to capture it; once captured, you can transform into that enemy and use its specific movement or attack. One room might require you to become a flying creature to cross a gap, while the next needs a burrowing type to dig through a soft floor. The pacing is deliberate, focusing on puzzle solving with the right creature rather than fast paced combat. It feels like a constant process of experimentation and adaptation as you learn what each form can do.
