Play Janshirou (Japan) Online
Drop blocks, match colors, and watch the screen explode when you nail a chain—this forgotten Game Boy gem starts chill but soon has you scrambling as the speed kicks in. That 8-bit soundtrack? It’ll haunt your dreams in the best way.
Janshirou was a Japan only Game Boy release from 1990, developed by Natsume. It arrived during the handheld's early years, a time when developers were still exploring what worked on the small screen, often adapting concepts from arcades and home consoles into more compact, portable experiences.
You control a young warrior navigating a series of single screen puzzle rooms. Your main objective is to defeat all the enemies in each room to proceed, but you cannot attack them directly. Instead, you push blocks to crush foes or trap them, which requires careful positioning and timing. The game is methodical, demanding you think several moves ahead as a wrong push can leave you cornered. It feels like a tense game of chess played against a ticking clock, where every cleared screen brings a quiet, satisfying relief.
