Kao Fu-SenThe latest of the point-and-click, surreal puzzle adventures to pop onto the Flash game scene is a short little story about a girl who has lost her head... literally. With gameplay very similar to that of Samorost—one of the best examples of a surreal, point-and-click adventure—this game is charming and very enjoyable, the only downside is that it is over way too soon. The game is titled Kao Fu-Sen, which literally translates to "face balloon" (thanks insipid idol!), and it features a few tracks of pleasing music that suit the game well.

Created by Syongo Maruyama. With proper credit now that I finally tracked down the original author.

  1. Click the faint outline of the girl

  2. Repeat the above step

  3. Click the switch on the top of the mechanical arm until you can't press it no more

  5. Then click the door

  6. Then click the girl

  7. Then click the machine with the circle like dartboard on it, until the hanger falls of

  8. Now you require a bit of timing for this, just before the lights go red, and the truck is about half way along the final rail, click the hanger, and hopefully you will land in the cart afterwards. If not repeat the first few steps minus the door and the mechanical arm

  9. Now click the bird until it goes of screen. Permanently

  10. Then click the girl

  11. Click the brown/green pot

  12. Click the four screen usually top is blue right is red bottom is yellow and left is green. copy that down. Click the blue handles until the brown doors are fully open. Then copy the pattern into that, after you clicked it.

  15. Click the girl then the elevator doors.

  16. Click the fan twice.

  17. Click the man.

  18. For the grid. Just copy the sequence down and turn it to your left, simple as that. It will look something like this:
    + O + + +
    O O O + +
    + + O + +
    O O O O O
    + + O O +

    **The O being the part you have to shade in.**

I'm also trying to find the credits info for a while but all I could find was;
http://www.geocities.jp/d_tsuma/fcbl.html

It seems that the owner of
http://www.geocities.jp/d_tsuma/
is an illustrator of the game and several different names on the bottom of the page are the same credits at the end of game.

The most of related info is only in Japanese, which is unknown for me.*^^*

how do u get past the bit where she is sitting down and the bird has the piece of paper with the sequence on ????

Reply

I'm stuck on that part too.. I put the sequence on the board that popped up but I can't click on anything other than the hook and the lever and the bird..

Reply

Oh I got it.. make the seqeuence from her point of view..

Reply

yeah seriously sam.. i can't get past it either?? am i missing something?

Reply

thanx for the comment ive dun it now lol

Reply

nope... still having problems with it...

Reply

I've tried it from every possible point of view, angle, backwards and all and I *still* can't get past it. lol

the problem with this game is that its too short :[

Reply

Can't figure out the panels, could someone give us a step by step for them?

Reply

How do you do it, sam?

Reply

OK, make the sequence from her point of view [our left is her bottom], and then reverse it.

Reply

I NEED HELP! Every angle on the tile wont work MC said our left is her bottom. Well Ive tried every angle and nothing works :(

Reply

AH HA!
After staring at it for ten minutes, I figured it out!
If you're still not getting it after putting the sequence in from her point of view, than you are simply looking at the colors wrong. De-select those squares that you have selected and select those you haven't.
Oooooh...I feel smart...
This game is DEFINITELY waaaay too short...

Reply

After you get the colour sequence backwards what do you do? I need help! Ive been at it for a day!

Reply

Oh ok. I got it! I wonder if theres another one?

Reply

For those of you who couldn't get the last bit with the squares.
*****SPOILER ******

Cool game, funny ending. I wonder though will she ever be able to keep her head on? And why does it keep coming off? Lol, just curious.

Reply

interesting but it would be more enjoyable if it was longer

Reply

eve wonderful map that was a brilliant idea of yours you must have a creative mind

Reply

What happens after you get into the centre of the grid... she just keeps pointing up and when i move the crane nothing happens apart from it going backwards and forwards....help please someone

Reply

how do you get past the part where shes at the elevator?

Reply
BobSmith1486 June 24, 2005 7:16 PM

I am also stuck at the crane. Please help us

Reply

Oh! It is similar. Firstly, love the artwork. I wish it were longer & I hope a second one is made soon! :D

Reply

wow finally beat it haha too short!

People who are stuck at the crane- tried clicking on EVERYTHING? ;)

Does anyone know the song used for the beginning when she loses her head? haha

Reply

if your lost with the centre of the grid, you just have to click at the point around her feet, not on her body! the circle around her feet is the correct mark

Reply

i am stuck on the frist part plese can u help me
becuse i have the hanger but dont no what to do next.

Katherine July 25, 2005 12:49 PM

I love the ending; it's so cute! Fun game.

Reply

She can't jump when the hook on the crane is in the way.

Reply

wow, great game! funny, cute, challenging without being too hard....yes a bit short but considering the amount of work that must have gone into designing the flow and artwork of the game, i can hardly blame the designer -- it'd be a lot of work for one guy. anyway, loved it. :)

Reply

HAHAHAHA, the ending is sooo funny XP

Reply

oh haha...the ending is so funny and cute! lols.

and Junie, for the last bit, you have to click on the construction thingie before clicking on her feet. then she will fly up and the game is finished!
=)))

Reply

hey hey finished it was hard without yall people help


After the puzle thing & your in the middle make the crane go in then click the girl.

Reply

Wow, that sudden pang of music in the intro totally scared me, more than any of those haunted point-click games with the sudden shadows that blow past the screen.

Reply

(thanks a bunch lyra) its (like many say) too short i really hope there will be a nother one ^_^

Reply

Actually literally translates to "face balloon".

Go figure! The only point and click game I've been able to finish without using hints and it's over waaaayyyyyyy too soon. LOL

Johnny Elfred January 5, 2007 10:43 PM

Wow lol....this gives a whole new meaning to 'losing your head!' haha. xD

Reply

cool game, one weird thing: when you see the ending movie her lips go up and down, but theres no sound coming from my speakers, i hear the other sound, did the gamemaker cut out the talking?

Reply

For the previous asker about the elevator, click the spoiler:

Click on all four TV screens and memorize their pattern. After that, click on the door below. (If you don't know how to open the door, click around!) Click the coloured squares so that they match the TV screens' pattern.

Reply

I have done the grid the correct way but how do you get her to go on the grid.

Reply

Yes, how do you get on the grid?

Reply

yea....i cant even do the first part. why does she fall back out when she swings on the hanger?

Reply

katelyn - You have to time her swing on the hanger so the bar above the door is green when she enters.

Time your swing using the cart on the uppermost track. She should start swinging over when the cart first appears on the right.

omg so incredibly frustrating ! I feel as though ive tried everything, but obviously haven't :|
im getting confued with whether i should turn to MY left, the girl's left, anticlockwise (though technically it can be seen as going right)
yep. so all in all - im pretty spun out by it.
and i only wanted to spend 10 minutes on it XD

By the way, Kao Fu-sen literally translates as "face balloon," not as "lost head."

Reply

look at the piece of paper that the bird is holding from your point of view. then pr3etend that the left hand side of the board is the bottom, the right had side is the top, the top is the right hand side and the bottom is the left hand side

Reply

Nice game! I love the music. ;3 I thought it was going to be more gentle looking graphics like the start, but I'm glad it changed. Everything was great, but some of the things thew me off like the timing of the first part and the grid in the last level...
But everything else was quite enjoyable. Loved every second. ;3

Nihongowasha is correct. Kao means face and Fuusen means balloon. That would mean a rough translation of the title would be... Balloon Head/Face? o3o; Oh well, you can't really translate things straight out, it sounds strange. :P

Thanks for posting a walkthrough Nathan. <3 For me the timing was about 1.5 seconds after the cart goes off screen though. The grid part helped a lot. 8D

This game is do able without a walkthrough, but it might take a while to figure out that you need timing for the 1st stage and how you apply the grid picture from the man to the grid itself.

This would totally get a 5/5 outta me. ;3

Reply

I did the grid and everything like Nathan said, but the girl is just floating and when I click on her she just waves. the crane is over her and everything,too. PLEASE HELP!!

i need help on the first scene i cant get into the cart i have bad timing probally can someone tell me how im stuck on that part help me!

For the bit with the bird:
Select the BLACK areas from the piece of paper, the side of the paper that's facing down for you should be the side of the grid that's facing the girl.

Well, it appears that the site is kaput

Good game. Too short. I liked the little animations with the girl and her head :3

Reply

This game rocks! (She's not that slow, although you might think so in the beginning if you don't get the timing right.)

Reply
