Play Hoi Hoi : Gameboy Ban Online

Hoi Hoi: Gameboy Ban is one of those games that makes you smile the second it boots up—it just gets the Game Boy vibe. The screen flickers to life with that familiar greenish tint, and suddenly you're dodging pixelated obstacles to a bouncy chiptune track. It’s simple, sure, but there’s something weirdly satisfying about how tight the controls feel.

At first, I thought it was just another retro throwback, but after a few rounds, I caught myself muttering “one more try” way too many times. The power-ups are silly (in a good way), and the difficulty sneaks up on you—those later levels don’t mess around. If you’ve ever lost hours to Tetris or Kirby’s Dream Land, this’ll hit the same nostalgic itch.

Also, that soundtrack? It’s been stuck in my head for days. Just don’t blame me when you start humming it in the shower.
