Okay, so Parasoru Hembei is one of those weird little Game Boy gems that somehow sticks with you. At first glance, it’s just a cute blob hopping around, but then you realize the levels are packed with these oddly specific traps—like conveyor belts that fling you into spikes if you mistime a jump. Classic Game Boy jank, but in a good way.

The music’s got that tinny, catchy charm, and the enemies? Total goofballs. One looks like a sentient mushroom with a grudge. You’ll die a lot, but it never feels unfair—just the right kind of "okay, my fault" frustration. And yeah, it’s short, but that’s part of the appeal. Perfect for a lazy afternoon when you want something simple but with just enough bite to keep you hooked.

If you’ve got a soft spot for quirky retro platformers, this one’s worth dusting off the Game Boy for.
