I hope it continues to bring you much joy and relaxation.
In this update:
Upgraded touch control system
New health system
Upgraded controller control system
Fixed small bugs
Performance optimisations
In an ongoing effort to balance Kanso as well as possible I have reworked the controls, fixed some quirks and made it all feel more pleasant. Also! Kanso now has shields that you can pick up along an enzô.
Only on difficult levels, there are now points of light you can pick up that generate a protective shield. This allows you to collide with daemons but still complete your circle. Be aware, doing so will result in an imperfect completion. This will show up for each level as a black enzô in the level select worlds. To get a white enzô completion state you but complete the level with NO collisions. A perfect circle.
After much consideration I have reworked the 32 levels in the Foundation world. The first world you encounter after the first 'Root' levels.
I initially intended these Ensô's (Levels) to be empty, a moment to focus on the circular motion of Kanso. While I feel this works conceptually, it left some players understandably a little confused on why there was no Daemons to avoid.
So with that in mind I designed a set of levels that keeps in line with my intentions and also offers the same light challenge as the rest of Kanso.
I hope you enjoy this addition to Kanso, and that it helps you fine your moment of Zen.
