About
Upyo! How’s everyone been? SUNSOFT’s Ufouria is back!
The Ufour-ic reboot of the classic 1991 Famicom action game, Ufouria! It’s up to Bop-Louie and his friends to save the world from the invading aliens! We’re keeping the big map and Metroidvania gameplay, but with randomized elements to keep you on your toes. The characters and stages from the original are also back, stylized in felt and craft materials for maximum cuteness and charm.
Key Features

- Adventure in the Lovingly Crafted Wacky World of Ufouria – Familiar characters and stages of the original game are back, transformed from their formal pixel art to charming handmade feltwork. Iron bead artwork also plays homage to the nostalgic pixelated look of the original. Look for all the similarities and differences if you’ve played the original!
- Different Courses Each Time You Play – The various stages from the original game now change randomly every time your enter, making for a fresh new challenge each time! New characters joining your crew let you reach more areas, even ones that weren’t in the original game at all!

The troublesome Bumyon sticks to everything and everyone and is quite the annoyance, but Hebe and crews can counteract them perfectly with their Popoons.
