We just realized there is a Stencyl Jam (great coincidence, indeed the world want to help us a bit), so that's the nice opportunity to show our game! : ) We are already on Newgrounds' popular games list and hope you will find our game enterteining too : )))

A kōan /ˈkoʊ.ɑːn/ is a story, dialogue, question, or statement, which is used in Zen-practice to provoke the "great doubt", and test a student's progress in meditation.
The game is a puzzle platformer telling the story of a typical city dweller on his way to enlightenment. The Protagonist follows the tutelage of a mysterious Zen teacher who sends the him on perilous journeys through metaphorical landscapes and the depths of his subconsciousness.

Amazing graphics and very smooth animations.
Reminds me of the good old 16 and 32bit Prince Of Persia.
Sure, my games won't get better with all the new features of Stencyl.
But I do have more fun creating bad ones.

We will soon start our new project in Stencyl 3 - this time it will be standalone and much bigger game about SF sociaties.
Hope you will like it : )

Hey Jon, I have tried to submit it but Koan is over 16 MB. Is there any way to submit it on Stencyl Arcade?

Not at this time. We'll allow externally hosted games in the future.

Ok, so we will wait for that opportunity : )

Hey guys, BTW
We sent our game to Indie Basement 2.0 contest! It is the biggest indie contest in Poland (on Pixel Heaven event). The jury leader will be Johannes Wadin - the man who created Pid and Shelter. Here you can find some details: http://pixelheaven.pl/en/kategorie/indie-basement-2-0-awards/
Wish us good luck! :)))
