Tower Knocking Game
Momotaro’s (Peach Boy) village has been attacked by monsters during his absence! Join him in his journey to Oni Island to reclaim the stolen loot and save the kidnapped child from the monsters. Tell his tale through a game of Daruma Otoshi, a twist to a traditional Japanese game where boxes are stacked upon each other to form a tower, remove the bottom most box using a mallet without collasping the entire structure!
Shoot-the-target
As a wandering traveller, you came across Momotaro and his companions who were on the way to Oni Island. You offered your help and travelled with them. The gates to the monsters’ stronghold is heavily guarded and Momotaro is having difficulties breaching their defenses. You hid in the adjacent forest and took aim with your rifle/bow/gun, the Abyss. Flaunt your marksmanship, silence the enemies and help Momotaro in breaching the enemies’ stronghold! Collect spoils from the enemies you take down!
