Play Booby Boys (english translation) Online

Booby Boys is a 1993 Game Boy puzzle game from Nichibutsu, a company better known for arcade titles. It arrived during a period when the handheld was saturated with platformers and RPGs, offering a quieter, more methodical kind of challenge. The game doesn't try to dazzle you; it just presents a series of grids and trusts you to figure them out.

You control one of two round characters, navigating single-screen stages filled with blocks, enemies, and hazards. The main objective is simply to reach the exit door in each level, but getting there requires careful planning. Your primary actions are pushing blocks to clear paths or create bridges, and you must avoid or trap enemies that patrol on set routes. The pacing is slow and deliberate, demanding you think several moves ahead as the puzzles grow increasingly complex and one wrong push can force a restart. It feels like patiently untangling a very stubborn knot.
