Japanese Flash game

Parameters

Japanese Flash game is an RPG stripped to absolute minimal mechanics, with Mondrian-like game board. From Kill Screen:

Parameters, available here in both English and Japanese, is the very abstract version of an RPG. It contains most of the elements of an RPG: monsters (the yellow bars), quests (the empty bars), items, stats, and leveling. Missing from the game are storylines, characters and graphics, but who’s counting? Actually you are. That’s most of what’s left.

The game’s only input is clicking. Through it, you can attack “monsters,” complete quests, buy items, and spend your skill points. After you defeat a monster, or while you’re on a quest, various amounts of money and experience will spew out of the block and after mousing over them, they are collected. Once you’ve gained enough experience, you’ll level up and gain more skill points to spend towards your attack, defense and life recovery.

The kicker is that the monsters are just little yellow boxes …
