Rompers
Rompers is an arcade game that was released by Namco in 1989 only in Japan. It runs on Namco System 1 hardware, and was included in the "Encore" edition of the Namco Museum series for the PlayStation - along with another one of Namco's Japan-exclusive titles, their last eight-bit arcade game Wonder Momo.
Introduction
The player must take control of Chap, a gardener who must collect all the keys in sixty-one maze-like gardens in order to rescue his girlfriend, Rumina. He can push the walls in the gardens over to crush the various enemies that pursue him, but they will immediately be resurrected as eggs which hatch after a few seconds. Each round also has a preset time limit to ensure that the player does not dawdle, and once it has run out, a green-haired female vampire named Tsukaima (who cannot be crushed by the walls) will appear in search of Chap's blood.
