Fist of wall: art 10, level desing art 10, animaitos 10. But, has not the player shadows? VFX to land and perfom inputs is important as well.
I'm impressive with positive coments, but the game has some things that I think can be better.
THe fist level its hard to me. Fist, before the fist Boss, the jump section with spikes on the wall is so hard to pass... The player after take damage from spikes reset your position. Why? The player after that should to continue playing the game I think, like classics metrovanias (I don't like this system like Hollow Knight).
Other point is the "tutotial level/leve 0". The player has not dopamina moments, like battles or other event. I did take any skill and equipament (only one weapon) before fight against the boss... So, if the system there is in the game, I ought to test it in the fist battle, no? Sucess for the game guys.
Victor ! great feedback, a lot of info. I agree that we're missing quite a few VFX that communicate feedback, we're also already planning to add more content in the first few minutes, not only in terms of dopamine, but narrative elements as well. Thank you very much for the feedback, it helps us, we'll keep working on it and I hope you'll play it again later to see what you think of the changes.
First of all, thank you so much for playing the game and for showing interest in it .it truly means a lot to us.
Last year we poured a ton of energy into this project. This year, we've put it on hold for a while as we work on a smaller game. Our plan is to build some traction with Kenzu and then pick it back up once we have that momentum going.
In the meantime, we're really excited about Hokus which you can also play over on itch.io! We put out a first pixel art demo, and this month we're rebuilding it with more content and hand-painted art in a style similar to Kenzu.
Thanks again, and I hope you keep enjoying the content we put out .your feedback genuinely helps us!
Muchas gracias Chandemon ! nos tomamos un tiempo de vacaciones pero ahora estamos de vuelta. esta semana sacamos un minijuego pixel art ! pásate a mirarlo
El cariño que está teniendo el desarrollo de éste juego es tremendo... se nota que van en serio, muy divertido, muy lindo, muy bien las mecánicas, los combates, el diseño. Futura joya del género.
Muchas gracias Pablo! Pusiste llegar al 2do bioma? Ahí Kenzu consigue más habilidades y se ponen mucho más interesantes las mecánicas, pronto cerramos la 2da hora de juego
Como gran fan del género Metroidvania y habiendo pasado cientos de horas en Hallownest con Hollow Knight y su esperada secuela Silksong, tengo que decir que lo que ha logrado Lambda Forge con Kenzu es verdaderamente excepcional y eleva el listón del género.
Si bien Hollow Knight nos enseñó la belleza de la exploración sombría, y Silksong mejoró la fluidez del combate, Kenzu toma esos cimientos y los lleva a un nivel completamente nuevo.
Hola Santi! Muchas gracias por el comentario! Estamos trabajando ya en el 2do bioma, en estos dias vamos a subir una actualizacion del juego con nuevos rooms, nuevo arte y nuevos enemigos ;)
El juego es excelente, con un diseño visual y sonoro inmersivo. La jugabilidad es adictiva y satisfactoria, con un buen equilibrio entre desafío y recompensa, y un diseño de niveles variado. Grafica maravillosa, Descripcion del juego de nivel preofesional.
Great game to be honest, I like the art feel of everything, the ambience is great. The developers have truly created a rich and immersive world. The visual design is stunning, and the audio experience perfectly complements the atmosphere, pulling the player deep into the game's setting. Every detail, from the character models to the environment textures, feels polished and intentional.
The core gameplay loop is incredibly satisfying and addictive, offering a great balance of challenge and reward. I was particularly impressed by the level design and the variety of mechanics introduced as the game progresses.
My only suggestion for improvement—which would elevate the experience even further—is the implementation of customizable keybindings (or key mapping).
The visuals are absolutely gorgeous, and while I think some mechanics like the dash and parry should be polished, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game.
I wish you all the best! It was a lovely experience and really fun too!
Thank you! Agreed, the parry mechanic is only on its second iteration. What suggestion do you have for parry and dash? Is it the dash animation or the cooldown?
Amazing game! You can clearly see the dedication and time put into the environment, music, characters, and gameplay. It promises even more, and I’m looking forward to keep trying it out.
I love the art style, it has a level of personality that makes every scene feel alive. Also, the combat and parkour mechanics are incredibly smooth and responsive. Even in this beta stage, it shows a ton of promise, and I’m genuinely excited to see how you build on this foundation. This could easily become something special, can’t wait to see where it goes.
Thks so much for your words! Since Kenzu is a cat, the parkour has to feel smooth and fluid 😜 We’re really glad that came through. We’ll be uploading new updates in the next few days!
Thanks! We actually want it to be challenging, we want players to feel rewarded when they progress. We will try to have between 8 and 10 hours of gameplay. Your comments make us want continue working on it!

Amazing gameplay and beautiful design, but the controls are very unresponsive. This may just be on account of the lag.
thanks so much ! it probably have something to do with the lag. but we will try to improve it

I am waiting for more 5 minutes to can play the game. The web version is so slow to load the game...
the areas that need the strong slash to acces broke the game instantly, so my bad. other than that, how much is the full game?

hermoso proyecto lo vengo siguiendo hace tiempo, me encanta que se esten desarrollando estos juegos con arte tan cuidado en Argentina!

Thanks for your feedback! Yes we aim to add customizable keybindings in a few weeks!
We need to add optional key mappings this week
Consider it done!
did we already do it? let's upload it!
hi boss, first iteration of keybinding comes out in a few hours o7
The visuals are absolutely gorgeous, and while I think some mechanics like the dash and parry should be polished, it didn't take away from my enjoyment of the game.

Very cool first chapter, it is promising.
Thanks a lot!! Chapter 2 early access coming on Friday!
Great game!! Challenging at all time.
