Syobon Action HD – Action Game Review
Syobon Action HD is a Action/Entertainment/Casual game from Dan-ionut Chis, first launched in 29th June 2014.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 7,421+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Syobon Action HD Stand Out
This is the most difficult action game in the world. It is full of infinite challenge and traps, made for only the most experienced gamers. If you think you have what it takes give it a try. But please don't break your phone. ^_^
Gameplay Description
You control a little cat inspired my a popular Japanese emoji. You task is to save the world from the troll chicken who was turned the world's inhabitants evil. There are a lot of traps placed in places you wouldn't expect. You will fail a lot, but finally clearing a level feels so good.
The gameplay is in the style of old platformers, but a lot more coordination is required and the jumps need to be perfectly timed. If you played other rage games you should be just fine.
Syobon Action (known as "Cat Mario" or "Neko Mario") is a Jump 'n' Run Game parody. The traps are different from what you would expect from a jump and run game. Skill and a bit of imagination are needed and nerves of steel because it can be frustrating at times (which makes the game so addicting).
Syobon Action was created by a Japanese developer named ちく (Chiku) over the course of three days in February of 2007. The game was inspired by a flash game titled The Big Adventure of a Dead End Life (人生ｵﾜﾀ＼(^o^)／の大冒険 Jinsei Owata no Daibōken?),which was often played by members on the text board 2chan.
Cat MeOUCHio is a modern remake of the classic game for mobile devices so that it can be played for many more years by the fans.
This Action game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Fun games that trolls really spike our instinct and we love the game so much.
It troll us and we played it all night.
This app is SOOO fun. It does take like 2 minutes to load if ur in a bad area. Believe it or not, (which u better) this app is SO stinkin ADDICTING!!!! Like once u start, its hard to get off it. Get the app or else.
Love this game so much we cant believe this game is the best.
We mean,if you like being challenged or trolled,we recommend this for you(if you dont mind seeing an ad when youre not even at the Home Screen). And there are also ads when you die sometimes! We truly think the app is good,but not in every way. We like how the developers troll you,but if you hate the app,its your opinion. Just try not to be too angry when writing a review. And no offense,but if you dislike the app,we respect that. But the point is we would appreciate if there were no ads.
This game really works our brain. Its impossible. We cant even make it past level one without a million hints!? But that makes it addictive and pushes your determination. It really does put ur gaming skills to the test!A truly sigma game.
It's fun we almost finished round 1 he runs fast like us.
So we downloaded this game because we wanted to beat it. But now Im stuck in level 1 we cant believe it is it us or everyone is good in this game anyways the game was funny . So thats why 5 stars, and now our review is done.
Adding softlocks to a game like Cat Mario (also known as Syobon Action) can be a fun exercise in designing frustrating, non-gamebreaking obstacles for players. Softlocks are situations where players are stuck and can't progress but don't encounter a full game over. Below are some ideas for creating softlocks in the game.
Good game no trolls! Ignore the liars saying its dumb and trolly.
It doesnt get any worst in the third level its impossible because the jump on the invisible block is too high.
Great game! Just a suggestion! Can you give syobon 9 lives instead of 3? Cuz it would be a bit better if syobon had 9 lives instead of 3 but still a good game.
Hey, this may be a ripoff of Mario, but the title music is SICK, there is some good gameplay, (the trolls kinda got us giggling) and much, much, more. We were having so much fun playing this.
We played this game and its incredibly hard but once you play, youll get the hang of it.
When we opened it up and hit the ? Button and THE BUTTON MOVED?!?!? We were like this is amazing. We showed it to our husband who is an actual gamer. Oh boy he hated it he was constantly like wth then he rage quit and was like take your demon game!! A very entertaining morning we look forward to completing this game.
Its so funny to see people rage on this game.
We cant get hints even though we watch the ads.
No we dont like this game its super hard.
At first its fun until you start staying alive you just get pranked by the ghosts (if thats what they are) idk the original but we think its Mario and after you die you see a hint button and the cat is full of bruises! This is rated for kids 4+ why? Please oh please fix this.
So we have been trying to beat the second level for about 30mins, and then, we thought that it was fun when we first played this. Now, we are having so much fun with this game. We also love the difference of this Cat Mario than the original.
We really enjoy to plaY this game.
OMG this game is so hard but so fun at the same exact time.
This game is a remake, and a good one too, but we have to let you know that it is a troll game so expect it to be difficult.
We love playing this game we played the original beat that and beat this one too although an in app purchase could be used for disable ads except for the hints pls give us the option to disable ads.
It is so fun but so hard we died 450 times.
Its Like a Mario Game but A Challenge and we Like Challenges.
This is amazing but hard and oddly satisfying OMG we DIED BECAUSE A CAT SQUASHED ME Sorry for the freak out but this game is so HARD Get this game if you like hard stuff.
Even know the game is hard we still love it.
We were just making a video about this and we got so much likes. Its a very hard but fun game 4/5.
We did it! We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it.
This is a good game, but you have to jump very precisely on the enemies or else you die! We wish there was a way to reset your death count, and along with more levels. Some things that were possible in the original game are no longer possible in this version. Like another person said, there is a jump delay. The enemies also move a lot faster then they should be moving. Overall, good game.
This is a hard game you should not play. You get trolled. If you play this game its more harder and harder. Please dont play this game.
Its good but its not good its like Mario but its cats we know its weird.
Its annoying and frustrating its like its trying to get you to throw your phone.
When you open it, It just keeps loading forever.
Upset we cant play offline that makes a difference.
M chng our ton qung co. Xem qc xong vng ra lun.
We hate this game its too hard stop making games like this.
Like right as you join the game an ad pops up.
1 it is a total ripoff of super morio Bros 2 cant even get to a nother level.
It is so Stuipid and if l see Dan-ionut Chis we want to kill him.
Controls are garbage. Its a complete waste of time to try to beat level 4 with these controls.
We seen our favorite YouTube coryxkenshin play this and we never thought we would be able to play this thank you and plz add a a fire power that wont kill you -CJ.
Its a good game it has trolls, parkour, it makes us wanna break our phone by thats what its meant for.
We love this game but theres a few things that we really want to be in the game. First, it needs more levels. We beat it already and we were sad when we realized that it was over. Second, it should have a multiplayer mode or online mode. The second player would be able to control enemies and traps. Finally, it would be awesome if it could have a maker mode like Mario Maker 2. If it could have those we will rate it 5 stars.
The first level was hard we wish you made a tutorial level first of all second the stair part of level 1 was hard the balls come and kill us constantly its frustrating so plz do that for us thanks.
Dont download this game and thanks.
Its so hard in the first level is impossible we would like to see how hard the laughed opponent is because we dont think its possible.
Possibly the worst placement for the controls for any game Ive ever played, the ads had better controls than this game, we wish we could write a million reviews on the how the controls are, Id rather fiddle with a toaster than play this anymore. If we could give 0 stars solely based on controls we would P.S. Game was good.
