![]() What you expect is comfortable scenery to walk through for a few minutes. When you go on a walk you don't expect floating platforms and puzzles and bad guys to jump out and attack you. In that game the entertainment is supposed to come from taking care of the village, but in Knytt the entertainment is similar to the experience of going through a walk in a favorite neighborhood. The game reminds me in some ways of Animal Crossing, which sets you down in a world and asks you to entertain yourself. There are secrets to be found and almost without a doubt you won't have seen everything after just one play through. And really you can get more than two hours out of the game if you want to. I agree, especially when you aren't even paying anything to play the game. As the creator has pointed out movies rarely break the two hour mark and he sees no reason that games should have to either. The thing of it is, Knytt is supposed to be short. Both games feature great music and the ambiance that signals a Nifflas game. ![]() But both games share similarly designed beautiful worlds full of strange creatures, scenes, and locations. Knytt is, no doubt about it, a very different game from Within a Deep Forest. That list of games includes some of the best commercial stuff released, like Twilight Princess and Oblivion. Within a Deep Forest was probably one of, if not the, best games that I've played all year. I've come to the conclusion that Nifflas is a genius. I spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out what those critters were supposed to be, and finally decided they were dogs with their heads stuck in coffee cans. Great review, JohnB! And that's one of my favorite screens of the game. I didn't experience any crashes, freezing, lag, or basically any annoying glitches or bugs. Fast download, quick installer, all in all, fun game. (Took me an hour and a half, but I tend to think it was more luck than skill). It wasn't nearly as frustrating as WaDF (which really is wonderful), and it's easily finished in an afternoon. This game really is far too cute for words. Heck, do it anyway, just to watch the background animations move around and be pretty. So, when you enter a new frame, don't be afraid to just sit back and watch. Some respond to the Knytt, some are on a pre-programed loop. Exit the frame, and the glow dissapears.Īlso, watch the paterns the harmful characters move in. No, really, he has a strobe-like red glow when he enters a frame with a harmful animation. If you're having trouble differentiating harmful characters from background animation, ask the Knytt. The crashes are rare and harmless, so don't worry too much! The author is aware of the problem and is waiting on an upgrade from Clickteam to resolve the issue. Note: A few users may experience random crashes while playing Knytt. Thanks to Nicklas and Hapk_percar for sending this one in! ![]() Try Boot Camp or Parallels or CrossOver Games. It's one of the most charming and engrossing freeware platform games available today. Nifflas has unleashed an extraordinarily epic game disguised in a simple package. Knytt does a fantastic job creating a world for you to explore while keeping gameplay very simple. Short clips of music are played at key points during the game and really enhance the dramatic feel of exploring an uncharted planet. ![]() Most of the sounds you hear are only ambient noises combining to create a backdrop similar to what you would hear standing outside in nature. Knytt really pulls you in with its atmosphere, something Nifflas has been working on for quite some time. The idea is to sit back and explore a beautiful world, and the game does an extraordinary job of that. The game feels a lot like Within a Deep Forest but is purposefully less complex and easier to play. You won't find any enemies to fight in the game, though there are some creatures who will be more than happy to force you to start over at the last save point. Your job is to traverse the barren world in search of the missing parts and try to get back home.Īs Knytt, a tiny bundle of pixels, your only moves are the ability to jump, climb walls and shine a beacon of white light in the direction of the nearest item. A spacecraft kidnapped the cat-like Knytt from his home but crashes on its way back, sending pieces of the ship across a mysterious planet. The game emphasizes discovery and intrigue over everything and creates a massive world with varied environments and lots of places to explore. Knytt is a downloadable game of exploration and atmosphere for Windows created by Nifflas, the author of Within a Deep Forest.
