About
Think you’re patient? Think you’re skilled? This game will break you. One misstep, and you’re tumbling back down. Again. And again. And again.
In THE DARUMA CHALLENGE, you don’t jump—you bounce. Every surface is both an opportunity and a trap. Master the momentum or lose everything. A precision platformer designed to punish hesitation, crush overconfidence, and reward only the most determined.
Brutal, physics-based bouncing movement – easy to learn, painful to master.
NO shortcuts. NO hand-holding. NO easy mode.
Checkpoints? A well-deserved relief… but only in Normal Mode.
Time Attack Mode? No checkpoints. No mercy. A nightmare for speedrunners.
Secrets & hidden paths? Only for those clever (or stubborn) enough to find them.
Inspired by the Daruma doll’s mantra—“Fall down seven times, stand up eight.”—this game was built for those who refuse to quit.
Most players won’t make it to the end. Some won’t even survive the first few jumps. But a few? They’ll embrace the suffering, push through the pain, and conquer the impossible.
If you rage easily, turn back now.
This game was crafted by a solo developer with care, but not kindness. Every challenge, every detail—designed to push you to the limit. The Daruma always gets back up. Will you?

シンプルな操作性ですがとても癖になるゲームです。チェックポイントもあり優しい!BGMも自然を感じさせるのですが何より上から下に落ちたときのチーンという音はじめはすごく面白かったです。残り2ステージで私もクリアなのですが日常の息抜きに達成感もあり丁度良いゲームだと思います(。-∀-)
Very solid and complete Foddian game. Controls are simple: Left & Right. (as you jump automatically) There are optional secrets to find and 3 major bonus areas that are harder then the normal path for added challenge and that shiny 100% trophy. Has a built-in speedrun feature with build-in splits to let you know your pace as it happens. It's all really solid and well made. The biomes are beautiful. The sound design is PERFECT. (so satisfying) 9/10 game. All it really needs is a 2nd map of higher difficulty, because after finishing it once. You will have the skill to complete it within 10-15 minutes. It will satisfy you as a perfect meal but leave you wanting more of it, because it's just that good <3

The Daruma Challenge is a pretty cool game, it has some difficult sections, but it's a fun platformer Foddian game. I enjoyed searching for the hidden Easter Eggs and Sanctuaries across the map. The Sanctuaries provided mini difficult puzzles alongside the main path for experienced players to attempt, which was nice. I like how there is a Time Attack mode which removes the checkpoints, it allows for an even harder challenge in the game. Overall, The Daruma Challenge is a perfect game for players that enjoy the Foddian Genre of games.
チェックポイントがあって簡単な登山ゲー チェックポイントなしでもかなり簡単な方だと思う 他の登山ゲーが難しすぎてクリアできない自分でもクリアできてハッピーです
Boing boing cela rebondit sans cesse ! en même temps c'est le principe du jeu ! aller à droite, aller à gauche ce n'est pas plus compliqué et pourtant cela demande de la dextérité ! Les superbes graphiques "japonisant" donnent envie de passer au prochain level rien que pour voir ce que le suivant nous révèle ! C'est beau, c'est propre et c'est français ! Bravo.
A very enjoyable, bouncing game! Very easy to learn and only the elite could master. Kept me occupied for quite sometime. The mechanics are good, very fluid movement and game play. The art and music compliment the style of the game and was the perfect amount of relaxation to stop me launching my keyboard out of the window. I've not given up, I will be playing this again to get my achievements for sure!
The game is cool, visually it is done well. It can get on your nerves. Cons: relatively short. Also during esc the sounds continue to play (timer and air conditioner) If you want to test your gaming skills, I recommend you to check it out. Игра прикольная, визуально выполнено неплохо. Нервы потрепать можно. Из минусов: относительно короткая. Также во время esc продолжаются проигрываться звуки(таймер и кондиционер) Если вы хотите проверить свои навыки игры, то рекомендую к ознакомлению.
麻木,这弹跳太难控制力度,太容易常回家看看了。
Difícil pero divertido juego basado en el control de una daruma saltarina con estilo Japonés. El juego merece la pena porque se convierte en un challenge personal. Las primeras escenas se hacen con facilidad pero a medida que avanzas la dificulta aumenta exponencialmente. Los escenarios son preciosos y la música es alucinante, sobre todo cuando te acercas a algún punto de guardado. Se nota que al juego le han puesto mucho cariño y esmero porque funciona de maravilla. Juego perfecto para streams porque será frustrante que por culpa de un mal salto, caes al fondo del precipicio y resultando muy divertidas las reacciones de la comunidad. Incluirá clasificaciones mundiales para saber quien lo hace en menor tiempo.
