Yohsaku
No, sorry - I haven’t the foggiest what that translates to, probably “Rhino Punching” or something, but what I do know is its a bonkers Japanese shareware game with some fantastic 2600 stylings and puts me in mind of some of Rockfistus excellent retro themed stuff. (If you’ve not already had a blast at his Van Damnation then do so right this second, and feel the force of that punch in the nads).
The aim of Yohsaku is simple, kick down the tree’s within a time limit whilst taking out any of the animal onslaught that attempts to hinder you, I can’t quite put my finger on why it works so well - it just does. The chunky block graphics are full of life despite the design limitations imposed by using the 2600 style, and its a worthy time waster.
Not entirely sure that it justifies a price tag, but its a refreshing change from the same old gloss. You can grab a trial version from Vector (just click the grey box) and if nothing else, it’ll while away a few minutes.
Just browsing
…through some of my projects folders looking for things, and found this:
I have no idea what its for now, or why it was ever created. The lightings a bit wonky too.
Ah well. I’m sure it’ll come to me 
The answer is:
Yes, you can fit pretty much an entire tin of tuna across 2 Cobbles.
And yes, it does make the cat go insane with jealousy.
So, now you know.
