“Ikachan” is one of his early works and was first published in 2000. And again it’s kind of special. You play a little jellyfish and have to stand several adventures to get rid of the dictatorship of a giant fish call Ironhead and lead the other fish to freedom.
The game has very cute graphics and a decent soundtrack, but what makes it special is the control scheme. As the game takes place in an ocean you automatically float down as long as you don’t move. On the other hand it’s possible to move in any direction by turning in the direction and thrusting forward. Attacks are performed in the same way as you has to hit your opponents with a spiked hat you’re wearing on your head. Even if it might sound easy it’s not at all. It will take some training to perform your moves with the accuracy you need to survive for a longer time.
“Ikachan” was originally written in Japanese, but the download contains a very good English translation to make the game fully enjoyable for a greater number of players.
Another thing that really makes Ikachan enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Ikachan. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
