Beat all 7 sports

My thoughts:

A really fun tribute to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic games! It takes about 30min to beat all 7 minigame sports, which also doesn't include the sidequests you can do.

It obviously celebrates the ongoing 2021 Tokyo Olympic games but surprisingly furthers that event’s prominent video game theme by paying tribute to some of the most notable RPGs of the 8 and 16-bit eras. It casts you as a cat tasked with exploring Champion Island which consists of several Olympics-inspired minigames that are all relatively simple from a mechanical standpoint. You can lose a lot of your day completing its challenges and finding all the hidden objectives. The highlight of this Doodle is its incredible sense of style which brilliantly combines anime cutscenes with pixel art design concepts.

The game is entertaining and has a good length. It is saved by cookies, so you can close the web browser and pick up where you left off.

Representation of the japanese culture on the occasion of the Tokyo 2020 olympic games. Enjoy playing mini-games based on 7 sports and do side missions to get the trophy collection.
