The Fake Block
Looks exactly like the one that gave you a coin. Bump this one and it spits a spike straight down onto your skull.
The rage platformer that hates you back. One white cat, four worlds, and a trap hiding under every friendly-looking block. Play World 1-1 right here. It will kill you.
Nothing in SYOBON is what it looks like. The friendly block is a trap. The power-up is a trap. The floor is a suggestion. Here is what waits for you.
Looks exactly like the one that gave you a coin. Bump this one and it spits a spike straight down onto your skull.
A clean stretch of solid ground. You walk onto it with total confidence and drop straight through into the pit it was hiding.
Walk under it to grab the coin. It waits until you are directly below, then lets go.
It sits on a ledge with a big dumb grin. Get close and it launches itself at your face like a fanged cannonball.
In every other game the mushroom makes you bigger. This one sprints at you and ends the run. Do not touch the mushroom.
The honest one. At least the pit tells you the truth about what it is going to do.
The demo above is World 1-1. The full cartridge is being pried out of 2007.
SHOBON
Shobon started as a sad little face on a Japanese message board back in 2007, drawn by a creator known only as Chiku. Somebody gave the face a body, a pair of ears and a platformer full of traps, and the suffering began.
He cannot get bigger. He has no fire flower. His entire skill tree is one wobbly jump and an unshakeable belief that this next block is safe.
Numbers are the launch plan and read as preview until the coin mints on pump.fun. When it is live this page shows the real contract and the chart link wakes up.
