''[=PortaBoy+=]'' is a ''VideoGame/WarioWare''-inspired SurvivalHorror game by WebAnimation/LumpyTouch.

The game has you play the titular [=PortaBoy=], which has a collection of 5 microgames on it lasting for a few seconds each. Like its inspiration, you cycle through the games, with several hearts that go down by one each time you lose a microgame, with a game over if the hearts run out. Each time a game ends in either a win or loss, your score goes up by 1. You can also buy hearts from a shop if you have the funds.

But after a certain number of rounds, monsters start appearing and attacking, and you will need to switch between playing the microgames and fending them off with your shotgun -- which you will also need to keep stocked with ammo at the shop.

!This game contains examples of:
* DisguisedHorrorStory: The game starts off as a retro-flavored ''VideoGame/WarioWare''-style [[MinigameGame collection of minigames]], played on a handheld Game Boy {{Expy}} with appropriate graphics and music, and a geometric shape background behind. [[spoiler: Then you notice the game gives you a shotgun when you reach 9 points. Then you see the games starting to glitch and distort when you reach 12 points. Then at 15 points the geometric shapes give way to a dimly lit hallway with monstrous Portaboy-zombies ambling toward you, and you now have to juggle killing the monsters with the shotgun and completing the increasingly glitchy minigames and uncovering a story about a MegaCorp hooking brains up to computers to mine crypto.]]
* JigsawPuzzlePlot: The background story is slowly revealed through a series of pictures you get every time you reach a high score in the tens, from 10 to 50.
* ShoutOut: The “Pet Scope” microgame was named such as a reference to ''WebVideo/{{Petscop}}''.
