Expressing a physical moment of reflection, focus, and freedom of flow.

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2025-01-28*

Great game for relaxation. Clever algorithms. * don’t go too fast! ;-)

Wish I knew how to promote games on the App Store. Dev needs more reviews. Kudos! Can’t wait for your next game!??

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your kind words.  I am very happy you fond value in Kanso.
It means quite a bit to we indie game developers!
Next game is a while a way, there will be announcements in the summer, so keep a look out for that!

### 3/5 — Beautiful Game

*2022-09-14*

This game is beautiful yet hard to progress because the obstacles swim off the screen and you can’t see their path when they come back.

**Developer response:** Your support and feedback is VERY much appreciated, Thank you!!
(edit: The Kanso update is now live that will help with your issue. Thanks again for your feedback) 

Yes, on some screens this is a problem. I did test an indicator for off screen obstacles, but I felt it detracted from the look and feel of Kanso.
I will add an obstacle indicator for you in the next update, I have an idea on how to make it fit with Kanso's look.
Thanks again!

### 5/5 — Absolutely beautiful and relaxing game

*2022-09-11*

I can not believe this game has only one review! Maybe because App Store is really sure you meant to type “Kansas” instead. I found it from dark patterns as one of the top pattern-less listings.  This means it doesn’t show ads, or try to convince you to spend more money. The graphics, backgrounds and color changes are beautiful. The game play does not stress you out, or have any time limits.  It is pure focused relaxation. I suspect I’ll play it through several times.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your support and kind words.
Yes, I spent a LOT of time making sure that Kanso (or should I say Kansas, lol) respects the player.  I'm over the moon that others have noticed!!
Many thanks!

### 5/5 — Recommended!!!

*2022-02-03, version 1.04*

This game sets out to relax you and boy does it deliver.
The music is fantastic, but I want more! Where can I get the soundtrack?
The gameplay starts out slow and gradually gets harder, it’s really well paced. Way better than most of these games that bombard you with information and flashing lights.
It doesn’t waste your time, straight into playing and chilling out.
SOLID recommend!

### 5/5 — Truly relaxing

*2022-02-02, version 1.04*

Super app, I found it very relaxing I particularly like it when it tells you to slow down.  I found myself breathing slower  the further into each of the levels, so that was good. I’m amazed by all the different levels and the colours are amazing especially when they burst like little explosions.
The captions are at the start of each level are very good,  with the background music adding to the  overall relaxing experience of this app.
I would highly recommend this app.

### 5/5 — Woah more levels to try

*2022-01-30, version 1.03*

Great App with all the different levels easy to use for relaxing.
