Play Pocky & Rocky with Becky Online

Summary

Pocky & Rocky with Becky lets you pick between three quirky heroes—Pocky, the shrine maiden, Rocky the tanuki, or Becky, the miko from the KiKi KaiKai spin‑off—to chase down a resurrected Hydra Dragon that’s unleashed a parade of mythic monsters. The game feels like a handheld echo of the classic KiKi KaiKai arcade shooter, with each level acting as a chapter that ends in a boss fight you can only reach after finding a hidden key. Power‑ups are scattered throughout, boosting your attack, granting extra lives, or clearing swarms, and after you clear the main route a secret code unlocks a tougher mode with new enemies and dialogue. The North American version lets characters survive two hits (one in the original Japanese release) and adds a password system, while infinite continues keep the action flowing despite the lack of a save battery. Though critics pointed out its brief length and modest challenge, the title’s quirky cast and nostalgic shoot‑em‑up feel still earn a nod from fans of the genre.

Storyline

In Pocky & Rocky with Becky, the peace‑keeping miko Pocky accidentally breaks a seal that had imprisoned a ghostly hydra. The broken seal releases the multi‑headed beast, prompting a new quest. Joined by Rocky, a mischievous tanuki, and Becky—another shrine maiden who originally appeared in the KiKi KaiKai: Dotou‑hen spin‑off—the trio sets out to stop the creature.

Throughout the game’s chapters, Pocky and Becky wield their miko powers while Rocky uses his tanuki tricks, together battling the hydra’s minions and the hydra itself. Their combined efforts aim to reseal the monster and restore balance.
