How to describe Kanso? Well, you play with your mouse, and you have to draw a line around a shape! Sounds pretty simple right? This is one of those relaxing, zen like games, where you think everything is all easy and simple, but quickly you realise that things take some skill. This is a "line following" game. Everything is very bright and colourful and really is a joy to play. As you draw around the shapes, there are "Koi like Daemons", they kind of look like giant sperms, or perhaps tadpoles, they are on their own little journey, come into contact with them and you will have to start again. As you draw your line, you cannot go backwards, only forwards, but you can speed up or slow down, or even stop, that will allow you to avoid the Daemons, and finish the shape. As you progress through the levels, the shapes become more interesting and there are more Daemons to avoid, some will try to follow you, some will avoid you, some do not care about you. But you must always care about all of them if you want to progress. There are hundreds of levels across ten worlds. The game really does make you relax, the yoga like calm music, the relaxing gameplay, everything is just very zen. And coming soon there is a promised "breathing session". So, we are going full on meditation here! The Good A beautifully drawn game, easy to play, everything is just so relaxing, it really is a game that will align your chakras and all that Zen nonsense, and I kind of love it! The Bad Nothing really, the game does what it tells you it will do, however one suggestion, how about a chaos mode. Turn everything on its head, and have a stress induced insane mode. I know it's the opposite of the point of the game, but why not! Overall This is a great simple game, a lot of fun and damn, it is so relaxing! I score Kanso a solid 8/10

Simply gorgeous! The art of the game is very beautiful and the whole game looks like it was designed with great care! I can't stop admiring all the beauty of Kanso! Everything in it was done with delicacy and all the work had a beautiful result! Please play and you will never regret it!
Une expérience relaxante, une zénitude totale, on suit une ligne à travers des niveaux dans une ambiance envoutante et colorée. Parfait pour un moment de détente.
This is a great example of a developer using games as a art form to help people focus and relax. It will teach you to slow your breathing enjoy the zone of relaxing to the movement and sound. If you want to relax and get out of that feeling everything is a rush then this will do exactly that for you.
Well, it's hard to say just one thing about Kanso. Honestly, I don't know what fascinated me the most with the game. Its beautiful art that pleases the eye, its relaxing soundtrack or the challenge it proposes. The game itself is a way to calm down and relax, it's all made for that purpose, but it's a nice game to play, with a different theme than what we're used to. I was fascinated by the content of this game and its Dev has my total gratitude for having created something as amazing and inspiring as this game (which is perfect for those days when we arrive tired from work/school and just want to relax peacefully watching something beautiful, listening to something relaxing and being challenged in the process!).
Kanso est une véritable surprise et un petit trésor. Exactement le type de jeu que je cherche ! Un jeu, ou plutôt une expérience, qui emporte... Dès le départ ce qui frappe c’est la beauté de l’environnement, ciselé, mais qui respire la simplicité. Les couleurs, les courbes, la musique donnent la sensation d’être immergé dans un monde à part, une bulle légère et magique qui invite à laisser s’envoler les soucis de la journée et le brouhaha du monde extérieur. Ouvrir Kanso c’est être emporté par la subtilité, la finesse et l’élégance qui s’en dégagent. Ensuite il y a le game play, tout autant surprenant, tant il est minimaliste : l’invitation à un simple geste, une peinture du bout du doigt pour dessiner un cercle. Rien de plus et pourtant tout est là... la sensation tactile, l’impression de peindre en glissant, de sentir la texture sous ses doigts et cette fluidité du geste calligraphique répétitif qui peu à peu opère comme une sorte d’hypnose. Au fil du jeu, on rencontre de petits poissons japonais colorés qu’il s’agit d’éviter tout en gardant son flow. Et peu à peu, sans même s’en rendre compte, on glisse dans un état de méditation et de deep flow. La poésie des différents univers et la présence de symboles mystérieux parlent à quelque chose à l’intérieur. Finalement, quand on relève la tête on a sentiment d’avoir été transporté dans un moment suspendu, fait de pureté, de légèreté et de profondeur. En gros, Kanso c’est une invitation à revenir à l’essentiel.. à l’instant... aux sens... à soi Ps : pour moi c'est sur tablette que l'experience prend vraiment toute son ampleur
Not very far into this yet, but really enjoying playing in something that looks and feels so different. The levels are short enough that I can dip in and out, which suits the way I need to play these days. The premise and way to play is straightforward, and everything feels intuitive, with just enough of a challenge thrown into the mix.
A wonderful game to chill out and relax. The sounds and music are very soothing and help me calm down. I am really liking this game so far!
Very relaxing and chill. It doesn't take too long and you can play at your own pace. If there's a reason to speed up the game I don't know what is, it's because you have to really relax. You really can't miss anything in this game. it's all full circle. great game!
A simple and relaxing game. Your goal is to draw lines around the geometric shapes in a calm and controlled way. The premise is usually very simple but the challenges gradually increase, however, breath control and anxiety is the secret to moving forward in Kanso. A unique and very pleasant experience, I recommend it!
