About

Daruma Doesn't Fall

Features

On the contrary, it is a simple action game where you do not let the Daruma fall. Enemies tries to make Daruma fall with all sorts of tricks. Roll, jump, and exchange skillfully to collect Koban and aim for a high score. A Daruma Character will appear depending on the rank you achieved. Please come and meet the secret Daruma Character. This game was developed without any game sound in order to help you with your "little free time" in everyday life. I would be happy if you could feel free to play while watching your favorite videos, listening to music, or talking without disturbing such important time.
