Play Saru-Kani-Hamu-Zou Online
Switch between a monkey, crab, elephant, and mouse mid-level—crush walls as the elephant, then barely dodge obstacles as the speedy crab. Pure arcade chaos with weird surprises around every corner.
Game Overview
Okay, so Saru-Kani-Hamu-Zou is one of those arcade games that makes zero sense at first glance—you’ve got a monkey, a crab, an elephant, and a mouse all running around together—but somehow it just works. The controls are simple, but the chaos ramps up fast. One minute you’re hopping over obstacles as the monkey, the next you’re smashing through walls with the elephant. The pixel art is bright and goofy, and the levels throw weird surprises at you (like, why is there a giant rolling watermelon in level 3?).
It’s got that old-school arcade vibe where you’ll fail a bunch before figuring out the rhythm, but it never feels unfair. Just be warned: the crab moves way faster than you’d expect. I kept overshooting jumps with that little guy. If you’re into quirky, fast-paced platformers with a side of nonsense, this one’s a blast. The music alone is worth the play—catchy in that slightly off-key arcade way.
