Play Kanjiro Online

Kanjiro was a 1990 Game Boy release from developer KID, a puzzle game that arrived during the handheld's early years when developers were still exploring what worked on that small, green screen. It fits in with other methodical, single-screen logic games of the time, asking for patience more than quick reflexes.

You control a small character whose main task is to push blocks onto specific marked tiles to open the exit for each stage. The core mechanics involve careful navigation on a grid based field; one wrong push can permanently block your path, forcing a restart. The game is strictly turn based, with no enemies or time pressure, making you plot several moves ahead. It feels like quietly untangling a knot in your mind, one deliberate step at a time.
