I really tried to enjoy this game but it's just not fun.

Kitsune Tails has some of the worst level design for a game of this style. The early levels started pretty nice but as early as world 2, it quickly became a mix of Kaizo Mario rom hacks difficulty and Syobon Action comically unfair hazards and pitfalls. Some levels feature big foreground elements completely obstructing your view which is just awful. Levels length spans from a very short straight line level with few jumps to multiple endless rooms full of lava and spike pits as if made to be as frustrating as possible,

The movement feels floaty and imprecise, which mixed with very tight platforming makes it quite unenjoyable.

The voice acting is a mixed bag, with Kiri's (the orange kitsume) and Yuzu's (the purple kitsune) acting being decent while the rest of the cast and random characters is pretty bad, but not because of the subpar acting but due to pretty awful writing...

The gameplay design choice is very strange considering you have to replay the entire game again as Kiri after finishing the game as Yuzu, with Kiri's move set and abilities being way more fun with dashes and wall jumps. it almost feels like the game was designed around Kiri's playstyle but you are forced to play the entire game as the more inferior and less fun to play character first.

Music and art are both pretty great which is appreciated.
Modding support is also nice.

Works perfectly fine on Steam Deck.
