Kitsune Tails

Play as Yuzu, a young kitsune messenger whose journey through a land inspired by Japanese mythology draws her into a complicated bond with a sorceress and a childhood friend. The story follows their relationships alongside Yuzu's adventure.

Run, jump, and dash through five elemental worlds and haunted houses. Outfits grant different powers, while stages also feature enemies to stomp, pangos to kick around, and lights to carry that can reveal hidden doors and ward off ghosts.

The adventure includes minigames for coins and power-ups, plus a shop and playstyle options to help with difficult sections. A later act revisits the levels with a second playable kitsune and a different moveset; after the main story, a bonus world offers tougher platforming challenges.

In this helpfulness-selected sample, many players enjoy the classic side-scrolling platforming, inventive power-ups, and the contrast between the two playable characters. The cute story and its LGBTQ+ representation, along with the pixel art, are also recurring positives. Some reviewers find the movement slippery and later challenges uneven or very difficult, while others appreciate the forgiving retries and difficulty options.
