What is Sumoman?
This puzzle platformer takes place in ancient Japan, where a sumo wrestler seeks to wake an island's enchanted inhabitants. You navigate hazards and solve physics puzzles across levels, rewinding time after falls because he cannot get back up. Separate two-player split-screen competitions include races and King of the Hill.

- +you enjoy learning to control an awkward, momentum-driven character
- +you like searching every level for hidden collectibles
Not for you if...
