Hibikusuku is a trapventure game which utilizes humor and cleverly implemented gimmicks to excellent effect. The visuals are superb and match the excellent level design perfectly. The bosses too are quite good, though boasting too much health for my tastes (no matter how good a boss is, if it takes forever to kill, I'll get irritated with it).
I honestly don't have much to say about this game as despite the sheer goodness of Hibikusuku, it leaves me with little thoughts on the actual game itself; that is likely due to the relatively minuscule nature of the game, featuring only two stages both with bosses. With that said, both these stages (and bosses) are fairly lengthy, and due to the nature of a trapventure game, you won't breeze through each stage as quickly as you would other games of this stature. Therefore, you're still getting a lot of bang for your buck - and even if the game is short, that is no slight. these small trapventure romps are some of the more enjoyable fangame experiences. Sure, they don't match up to the titan-esque adventure or needle games like Ocean Princess or Crimson Needle 3, but that is not necessary. I Wanna Hibikusuku is a lovely little promenade through the mind of a brilliant creator, one who would do quite well doing whatever they liked, be it bite-sized trapventures or perhaps more hefty games; either way, I am truly excited to see what else they cook up.

Top tier trap/venture game. Visuals are top notch, traps always clever and surprising and bosses are well-made, especially the final one (seriously, this boss has A TON of different attacks it's really crazy). The only downside of the game is its length, "only" 2 stages. Even if those stages are long enough to be entertaining, this game had the potential to be a full lengthy adventure game and clearly one of the best.
Would highly recommend.

From the maker of Fancy comes another wonderful little adventure game that comes out lasting unfortunately shorter than I hoped, although perhaps it makes up for that by being 16:9 resolution.
Hibikusuku consists of two very unique and polished stages, featuring a variety of different challenges and concepts to make each screen feel that bit different from the last. It has a fair share of traps, although they never felt obnoxious or annoying. I particularly liked the elevator climb on the second stage, and it's something I'd have liked to have seen more of.
Each stage also features a boss. The first boss gave me some trouble initially with the telegraphing being a bit tricky for me to get good at and figure out the best way to handle damaging and surviving. The second boss was moreso RNG based rather than pattern memorisation and was more enjoyable to me. What's notable is the sheer number of attacks the second boss has! I was quite impressed, and it kept the fight feeling very engaging and fresh, as well as well balanced.
I left with very few complaints, with the main one being I wish it was longer. For what it is, it provides a great little adventure experience and one that I'd easily recommend.

A pretty fun game .Cool traps,nice visual and great music.I enjoyed everything in this game(though I feel that the first boss is harder than the second one).
Would highly recommend if you like adventure games,though it's a bit short.
