Tobu Tobu Girlcame out for the Game Boy on Sunday, 30 years after the Game Boy first launched. The game, developed by Tangram Games, stars a girl who jumps into the sky, jumps off of birds, and flaps her arms to chase after her cat, which has floated away with a balloon.

The game features an adorable premise, a great art style, and some really catchy music. It would have fit right in with some of the top addictive games of the time.
