Bobo is one of the arcade games in the Diemakora collection. It loads in seconds and needs nothing installed. Arcade games are designed around the loop, and Bobo has a good one — short attempts, instant restarts and a score that begs to be beaten. From the tags you can already tell that there is a journey with a beginning and an end rather than an endless score chase; the structure is classic arcade — quick rounds, rising difficulty and a score to beat.

Tips and tricks
- Take a short break after three or four failed runs. Arcade games punish tired eyes more than any other genre.
- Learn the first thirty seconds perfectly. The opening is the same every time, so it should never be where you lose.
- Restart early. If a run starts badly, do not grind it out; a fresh attempt costs nothing and saves your focus.
- Aim for consistency before you aim for records. A steady run that avoids mistakes usually scores higher than a flashy one that ends early.
- Because this is a Adventure game, explore side paths early; adventure games hide their best upgrades away from the main route.
- Because this is a Arcade game, restart early when a run goes wrong instead of grinding out a poor score.
