Kitsune Games is releasing major updates and offering new stuff for those who love Kitsune Tails, a retro-style platformer. The reason it’s doing so well is not only because of its colourful graphics but also its LGBTQ representation. In why we love it here is because of how well the folklore from Japan is weaved into the storyline.

They announced expanded Steam Workshop support (custom levels!) at the simple click of a button, release of an official soundtrack, and new quality-of-life features within the game!

From the Press Release:

The Steam Workshop update comes with a number of quality-of-life features, including new Speedrun Timers and a much-requested post-game character swap option. Pick up the OST by composer Jorge Saldías on Steam now for $4.99, or in a new Deluxe Edition bundle for $22.49.

With Kitsune Tails, Players Can Do Speed Runs and More As Crazy Like A Fox

…or should that be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when considering the rich environments that can experienced when entering the exotic worlds offered in this game?

Kitsune Tails Logo Design The world of Shinto religion comes alive in the videogame Kitsune Tails. And true to this product’s namesake, it’s about a young lady fox embarking on a hero’s journey, and encountering various creatures and yokai along the way. Some are (thankfully) good-natured and others evil. After many weeks of casual play, I’m finally finding where I can purchase power ups. Technically, you can’t buy them right from the get go, and you can find that place located in the village’s main hub. I was wondering where that was hiding and it took searching to find it!

There’s no Mac port. I’m on this operating system more often and the PC laptop I own doesn’t allow for hours of long play unless I tweak the settings.

In this retro platformer, I found more of the latter in the actual game-play and the former in the cut-scenes. The graphics of the game depict everything in the style of a classic 8-bit game. It’s basically Super Mario Bros. 3 / World with all the bonus material later development of this property now offers. That includes speed running, creating custom maps, and playing carnival-like minigames (the best part). Players can use simple-to-use modding tools, easy-to-learn Lua scripting and the open source Tiled Map Editor to create their open custom levels if they find this game too easy!
