The world of 2ch is in danger! The Muscular Evil Chicken has stolen the sacred artichoke from the great forum administrator. (`O '*) With the power of sacred artichoke, he tries to manipulate the peaceful emoticons inhabitants of 2ch for his evil purposes. "O (¯ - ¯ *) The only hope of salvation of the 2ch world lies in Syobon (`· ω · '), a young cat-emoticon. Syobon, with its multiple lives, is the only one who can challenge the power of the sacred artichoke and beat the muscular chicken. (〃 ^ ∇ ^) o You'll need to be careful and memorise a thousand traps that you face in your way. Only you and Syobon with his infinite lives can save the 2ch world. Syobon Action is a jump and run Game/Platforms parody of Super ***** Bros. But there are traps and nasty peculiarities which make the game more hard. A simple run and jump is not possible. Skill and a bit of imagination is needed here. The game requires the player to think logically through trial-and-error in order to complete the game.
