Play Cinnamon - Yume no Daibouken (J)(Caravan) Online

Ever stumble across a game that feels like it was made just for you? Cinnamon - Yume no Daibouken is one of those—a weird little GBA platformer that never left Japan but absolutely should have. You control this tiny fox-cat thing (seriously, no one agrees on what Cinnamon actually is) bouncing through these pastel dreamscapes that look like a Lisa Frank notebook came to life.

The controls are snappy, the levels are just the right kind of unpredictable, and there’s this bizarre charm to everything—like when you’re dodging giant rolling sweets or hopping across clouds shaped like sheep. And that Caravan mode? Pure arcade-style chaos where you race against the clock, trying to chain jumps and collectibles without faceplanting into a pit of… whatever that pink goo is supposed to be.

It’s got that early 2000s vibe—bright, unapologetically cheerful, and weirdly satisfying to play even when you mess up for the tenth time. If you’ve ever lost hours to Kirby or Klonoa, this one’s worth tracking down. Just don’t blame me when you start humming the soundtrack days later.
