Game-based applications are increasingly used beyond entertainment to deliver adaptive, engaging user experiences. Yet, many mobile platformer games still rely on static enemy behaviors, leading to repetitive gameplay. This study introduces Pepe the Ponderland Warrior, a 2D platformer for Android that incorporates culturally relevant meme characters and dynamic NPC behavior using fuzzy logic. Developed with the Game Development Life Cycle (GDLC), the game uses the Fuzzy Sugeno inference system to adapt NPC responses based on player distance, health, and damage received. UML modeling guided the system design, while testing included black-box, white-box, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT). The fuzzy-based system enabled real-time, context-aware NPC decisions, creating more varied and challenging gameplay. The game passed functional and logical testing, with UAT from 30 users producing a high feasibility score of 81.2%, reflecting satisfaction in design, gameplay, and difficulty balance. By integrating fuzzy logic with meme-inspired content, this study offers a novel and efficient AI approach for mobile games, highlighting potential for expansion across platforms and with more adaptive inputs.
