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.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Syobon Action at 69% against Impossible Kart's 20%. Syobon Action also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). Impossible Kart's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Impossible Kart holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Syobon Action has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Syobon Action's written reviews are positive against 20% of Impossible Kart's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Syobon Action ships an update every 3 months, Impossible Kart monthly. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
