Choju Yokai Giga

About

Choju Yokai Giga is a side-scrolling platformer that mixes action with tactical card management. You play as Miko, a character tasked with sealing supernatural creatures called Yokai. The core loop revolves around building a deck by chaining jumps, each landing grants more cards based on how long you stayed airborne. Summon animals using these cards to block, damage, or distract enemies. Since Miko can’t attack directly, positioning these summons and managing limited sake to keep them active becomes the focus. The game balances platforming skill with resource planning, requiring timing and foresight to clear levels. The blend of mechanics stands out, offering a fresh twist on traditional platformers. Players who enjoy tight controls paired with strategic decision-making might appreciate the risk-reward loop of jump duration versus card gains. While small in scale, the game’s concept feels cohesive, with a visual style that leans into Japanese folklore. It’s a brief but distinct experience that highlights creative gameplay fusion.
