Play Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time (E)(Rising Sun) Online

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time on the Game Boy Advance came out in 2003, developed by Ubisoft. It was part of that wave of console-to-handbook adaptations that tried to capture the feel of a bigger game on a small screen. You could tell they put effort into making it work within the limits of the hardware.

You control the Prince through a series of interconnected rooms, navigating traps, climbing walls, and fighting sand creatures with your sword. The main goal is to undo a catastrophic mistake by returning the Sands of Time to a magical dagger. Key mechanics include the ability to rewind time after a misstep, careful platforming that requires timing and precision, and light combat against enemy spawns. The pacing is deliberate; you move screen by screen, often backtracking as you unlock new paths. It feels tense and thoughtful, especially when you're low on health and one mistake could mean starting the room over.
