鳥獣妖怪戯画 (Choju Yokai Giga)

Game premise and genre

鳥獣妖怪戯画 is a side-scrolling platformer that centers on the theme of Yokai, mythical creatures from Japanese folklore. In the game, you assume the role of Miko, who must seal away these unleashed Yokai to restore peace to her village. Your main task is to build a card deck that allows you to summon various animals to assist in battling the Yokai.

Combat mechanics

Combat relies on card mechanics rather than direct attacks. As Miko cannot deal damage herself, you place summoned animals strategically to defeat the Yokai. During gameplay, you gain cards based on how long you avoid touching the ground. This mechanic encourages you to maintain movement and optimize your landings to bolster your strategy with more resources.
