Play Bouken! Puzzle Road (Japan) Online

Game Overview

Bouken! Puzzle Road is one of those Game Boy games I stumbled onto years ago and still think about. At first glance, it looks like a simple block puzzle thing—but then you realize you're actually guiding this little adventurer through maze-like levels, rearranging tiles to clear a path forward. It's got that satisfying "aha!" moment when you finally see the solution, followed by panic when the next screen throws something even trickier at you.

The pixel art is bright and playful, with these weird little enemies that look like they escaped from a Saturday morning cartoon. And the music? Pure earworm material—I’ve caught myself humming the stage theme hours after playing. Some levels feel like Tetris on caffeine, others play more like a stripped-down Sokoban, but it all clicks together in a way that makes you want to keep pushing forward. Just don’t blame me when you lose track of time trying to beat "one more" stage.

Honestly, it’s a shame this never got an official English release—it’s way more interesting than half the puzzle games that did.
