Game Overview

Ou Dorobou Jing: Devil Version is a Japan-exclusive Game Boy Color title from developer/publisher KID. It arrived late in the GBC's life, a time when developers were pushing the hardware with more ambitious action and deeper mechanics, though it never saw release outside Japan.

You control Jing, a nimble fox thief, navigating multi-tiered stages by running, jumping, and climbing across rooftops and through guarded interiors. Your goal is to steal specific treasures in each stage while avoiding or confronting palace guards. Key mechanics include using a grappling hook to access high ledges, engaging in close combat with a short combo attack, and managing alert levels as enemies spot you. The pacing is brisk, with levels built for quick, repeat attempts, though the enemy placement and platforming demand precision. It feels like a compact, energetic heist where every successful grab and clean escape delivers a genuine thrill.
