Play Hirake! Ponkikki (Japan) [En by Unknown v1.0] (~Open! Ponkikki) Online

Game Overview

Hirake! Ponkikki is one of those weird little NES games you'd only find if you were digging through old Japanese ROMs—and honestly, I'm glad someone translated it. You're basically flipping tiles to match these ridiculously cheerful candies while a timer ticks down, and the whole thing has that early '90s vibe where everything is just a little too bright and bouncy.

At first, it feels like a simpler Panel de Pon, but there's something oddly satisfying about how the candies pop when you match them. The music’s got that classic chiptune pep, and before long, you’ll be frantically flipping tiles trying to keep up. It’s not deep, but it’s the kind of game you’ll keep playing just to beat your last score. Definitely a fun little time capsule if you’re into retro puzzlers.
