(`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.

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.

If you love retro games, you’ll love Raion! Inspired by the fast-paced platform games of the 90s, Raion is a rocket-powered lion with a need for speed. Help him race through neon worlds with supersonic speeds and a nostalgic chiptune soundtrack and speedrun your way to the best time! A feisty and mischievous lion cub with a love for speed, Raion won’t slow down until he has defeated a silent yet powerful enemy whose very existence threatens to destroy everything he loves: The Okaku Wave. No matter how fast he runs, the Okaku Wave is always right behind - extinguishing light, destroying hope and erasing worlds. If he falters or slows down, the Wave will consume him. It’s a race against time in the ultimate test of survival! TAP TO JUMP! The trick that sets the amateurs apart from the pros is momentum. Cleverly utilising curved paths and the geometry of stages will give you an edge over your competition and allows you to discover shortcuts and higher platforms in your quest to outrun the Okaku Wave and dash to the finish! Our feisty little lion cub may be supersonic fast, but even he has his weaknesses. Raion will encounter many enemies and obstacles during his adventures and each one has the potential to slow him down or even put him out of action. From walls blocking his path to sharp blades around every corner, there are countless ways Raion can be defeated. Not to mention the Okaku Wave, ever-present and ready to envelop him the moment he slows down. Go blazingly fast with Raion, this ain't no hedgehog!
