Dear Xeif, 

I was very pleased to see that people out there are still interested in putting together games without the use of AI (not that AI is bad of course). Your game is so well made and polished that I would probably be the happiest child back in the day, if I had that as a Christmas gift! Thanks again for this awesome piece of software. I haven't played much, but enough to understand the mechanics of 'working together' (although it's not very obvious in the beginning). Please keep up the good work! We are looking forward to more releases from you in the future!


Edit1: It would be very beneficial to add 1 life. Just 1! Or (even better) make the player find the extra life!

Hi John!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for supporting Kizuna, it really means a lot to me that you appreciate the effort that went into making the game, especially the fact that it was created entirely without AI. I hope that care and dedication shine through in every aspect of the game, particularly in the level design. ^^

Words like yours make all the time and effort I've put into developing Kizuna over the past year feel absolutely worthwhile. It's incredibly rewarding to know that the work and care that went into making it are appreciated.  (ง︡'-'︠)ง

As for adding an extra life, I'll certainly give it some thought, however, there are already two food items in the game that fully restore your health. Once you get familiar with the routes and learn how to progress, it's really just a matter of knowing when to use them. Defeating a boss also restores your health completely.

I've tried to make the game as fair as possible. I know it can feel a little tough at first, but once you learn the ropes and get to know what lies ahead, those healing opportunities should be enough to help you through. And of course, Part 2 gives you a few more chances to recover your health :)

Thanks again for playing Kizuna and taking the time to share your thoughts, John. It really means a lot to me.  ٩(˘◡˘)۶

Quick question... Are we supposed to give the chicken thigh to this man? Does this mean that we need to collect the chicken thigh when we are on full energy?


EDIT: I made it in the end. There's a boss fight before you can satisfy this man's hunger... and then the end of part A is very near! 

AWESOME FIRST PART! very hard (for me) but very rewarding. I tried a few times part B, which appears to add new mechanics! The surprises keep coming!!

Hey, no, you have to defeat the giant snake, and you'll get its meat directly. That's the meat you need to give to that hungry samurai. Save the other ones for when you need to fully heal yourself.

Thank you Xeif! I didn't see your response on time. Maybe for the better. I found the snake and killed it (btw awesome mechanics for the boss fight - well done!). Got the rope, got the paddle/oar and move to the end. I won't put the password here, as it will ruin all the fun for the others.

Oh! Well done, I'm glad you figured it outon your own. Enjoy the second part ;)
