Chibi Maruko-chan: Okozukai Daisakusen!
OpenCritic Score
Score Distribution
"Mai: Child of Ages is a demonstration of great ambition and passion on the part of Chubby Pixel. It is an action-adventure game that manages to combine time-based puzzles with a gameplay concept and a story about identity and destiny. The alternation between Mai as a child and Mai as an adult is the real trump card, creating truly well-designed puzzles. The greatest strengths are the originality of the time puzzles, the artistic atmosphere, and the touching storyline. The biggest flaws are the imprecise controls (especially in battle), the sometimes distracting pace due to overly large areas, and the shallow combat. If you're looking for an adventure that makes you think and challenges you with excellent puzzles, overlooking the inevitable technical imperfections due to the small size of the team, then we recommend purchasing it, especially if you love exploration and Zelda-like and Ghibli atmospheres."

About
Chibi Maruko-chan: Okozukai Daisakusen! is a turn-based RPG that puts the iconic schoolgirl at the center of a mischievous adventure. You play as Maruko and her friends, solving classroom pranks and fending off ghostly troublemakers with upgraded skills. The single-player mode follows a structured story while the multiplayer option lets two players team up for shared objectives. Simple controls and straightforward battles keep the focus on the characters' antics and charm. This 1990 Game Boy title showcases KID's early RPG work with bright, pixelated art and a lighthearted tone. The soundtrack is minimal but catchy, fitting the Game Boy's hardware. Though it lacks difficulty scaling and complex systems, the game's appeal lies in its recognizable humor and schoolyard scenarios. Maruko's loyal fanbase and the rarity of Game Boy multiplayer titles make this a cult pick. Nostalgic players may find it a pleasant, if basic, detour through early 90s handheld gaming.
