Bobo is a free arcade game you can play right here in your browser. Think physics — that is the shape of it. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Bobo
Welcome to the Bobo game, let's see if you can climb the ropes, jumping from one rope to another to reach the last level
How to play Bobo
The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
Controls

|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.
