Play Shippo de Bun (Japan) Online
You're a fox spinning wildly, whacking enemies with your tail while trying not to fall off tiny platforms—it's ridiculous in the best way. Those later levels will test your patience, but nailing that perfect tail swing feels so good.
Shippo de Bun is a Japan only Game Boy release from 1990, developed by KID and published by Irem. It arrived during a period when the handheld was becoming a hub for quirky, experimental platformers, and this title fits right into that niche without trying to be a blockbuster.
You control a fox who attacks by spinning its tail in a full circle, clearing enemies and breaking blocks on small, single screen stages. The main goal is simply to reach the exit in each stage, but the challenge comes from navigating tight platforms and timing your tail swings to avoid falling or getting hit. The game progresses screen by screen, with later stages introducing more complex enemy patterns and precarious jumps that demand precision. It feels frantic and a little silly, but landing a perfect spin to clear a path is consistently satisfying.
