About the game

kuso is the sequel to LOVE, and is a challenging yet fair platformer with a simple aesthetic. 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.

What players say

Recommended 8/10* Simple and retro pixel art graphics, really small color palette, but the platforming its gooood, i feel this sequel its harder than the previous one(rn im stuck in one level T__T), the game is really cheap, and goes cheaper on sales, its a must have for every steam library, can't complain at all.
