Play Ponta to Hinako Online
You switch between a girl and her tiny dog—she pushes crates, he wiggles through gaps—and suddenly you're mentally juggling both to solve these sneaky little puzzles. Ponta's tail goes nuts when he finds a treat, and you can't help but grin.
Konami released Ponta to Hinako for the Game Boy in 1999, a time when the handheld was full of quirky, experimental titles. It never became a household name, but it had a quiet charm that stood out even among more polished adventures.
You control both Hinako, a young girl, and her small dog Ponta, switching between them to navigate a series of puzzle rooms. Hinako can push blocks and interact with objects, while Ponta can slip through narrow passages and sniff out hidden items. The goal is to guide them through each screen based puzzle, often requiring careful coordination between the two characters. The pacing is deliberate, almost thoughtful, with a difficulty that creeps up as the environmental challenges grow more complex. It feels like patiently untangling a knot, where every solved room brings a quiet, personal satisfaction.
