1) The goal of Syoban Action is to make it to the goal, laid out in the first level of Super Mario Bros. Your job is to avoid obstacles and reach the flag pole.
2) As a platformer, the basic controls are moving from left to right to position yourself. Jump over obstacles that get in your way. simple, but the way the game makes you abide by its rules pulls a twist on the platforming genre.
3) If I could apply the game to another genre, I’d say an indie game. It’s made separately from any triple-A developers.
4) The game itself is paying homage to classic platformers while also giving itself its own identity.
