Play Hirake! Ponkikki (Japan) Online
You bounce this little round guy through maze rooms, pushing blocks and dodging floating eyeballs—one wrong move and you're stuck, but that's when you hit reset and try again. It’s got that old-school charm where the puzzles start simple, then suddenly you're sweating over every block.
Game Overview
Hirake! Ponkikki is one of those weird little NES games you'd only find if you went digging through Japan's back catalog—and honestly, it's a shame more people haven't played it. You control this round, bouncy creature (Ponkikki, I guess?) through these maze-like rooms, pushing blocks, hitting switches, and trying not to get cornered by these floating eyeball enemies. At first, it feels almost too simple, but by the third stage, you're already second-guessing every move.
The art's got that classic '80s charm—bright colors, chunky sprites—but the real hook is how the puzzles slowly ramp up. One wrong block push and suddenly you're trapped with no way out except resetting. It's got that same "just one more try" pull as Lode Runner, but with a cuter, quirkier vibe. If you're into retro puzzle games that don't hold your hand, this one's a blast (and way harder than it looks).
