Play Densetsu No Stafy (Eurasia) (J) Online

Densetsu No Stafy (Eurasia) (J) is this weirdly charming little GBA platformer where you play as a starfish who spins to attack and swims through these bright, bubbly underwater levels. The controls take a minute to get used to—you kind of wobble through the water at first, but once it clicks, it feels surprisingly smooth.

I remember one early level where you have to bounce between jellyfish to reach higher platforms, and I kept mistiming the jumps at first. The music is cheerful in that slightly off-kilter way old GBA games sometimes are, and the enemies are these goofy sea creatures that look more silly than threatening.

It’s not a deep or complex game, but there’s something relaxing about just swimming around, spinning into stuff, and seeing what weird little interactions the levels throw at you. Densetsu No Stafy (Eurasia) (J) is the kind of game you play when you just want something light and colorful.
