Seppuku is (as far as I know) a form of Japanese suicide to cause instant death to the blade-wielder for a greater cause than themselves. I.E. if a scout is captured, he might have a dagger or sword. Still used today by some officers with blades or most troops with bayonets/daggers.
I'm sick of seeing this game below a 4 in rating: SeppuKuties sets the bar for Puzzle Platformers, and perhaps flash games in general. The adoration caused by the animals is rivaled by just how fun it is to kill them... until you actually feel bad. We NEED a SeppuKuties two at least, but I definately want a trilogy. Cheers to every person who helped make it. Get good practice with games like this and set the bar for flash Platformers even higher! And the best thing is- I'm serious...
