Hey everyone, my name is Fred Wood. You might know me from my other game, LOVE. kuso is a reductive platformer that focuses on creating a fair challenge that is able to be mastered by dedicated players. Secrets, Achievements and Speedrun Leaderboards are all available to those who wish to milk this demo for all it's worth. The game's name, kuso, is inspired by the shout of frustration you might've heard in a Japanese Arcade in the early 90's (or perhaps even still today) when a player made a mistake that cost them a play. This demo contains three brand new levels from kuso as well as six remade levels from its predecessor, LOVE. kuso now runs at 60fps (twice the fps's that LOVE had), runs at a more proper 16:9 resolution, has better stat tracking, and is a tighter and more reliable engine than before. I'm excited to finally get back to making video games, and I hope to have a fairly robust game ready for you sometime in Q4 of 2017. If you'd like to support the game's development you can do so by checking out the game's official page at kuso.ge/support. There's a bunch of cool, inexpensive ways to help me make this game. You can also always go get a copy of LOVE for yourself or a friend right here on Steam. While we're not currently taking pre-orders kuso, it'd really help us out if you'd add the game to your Steam Wishlist. I hope you enjoy the kuso Demo, and I encourage you to leave your thoughts, questions, concerns and suggestions in the Steam discussion group.

kuso is the sequel to LOVE, and maintains the same focus on creating a fair challenge for players to complete and master. You have the ability to run, jump, and leave your own checkpoint. Make your way through acid, long jumps, disappearing platforms, bouncers, giant saws, and much more in this dreadful mechanical world. If you're looking for a game that'll challenge your platforming skills, give you something excellent to listen to, and a game to master, kuso is the game for you.
