It's definitely a challenge-oriented level, with a few sadistic parts. I'm amazed at the kinds of cohesive environments, and interesting additional effects, that Nifflas always manages to pull together.

quasi-spoilers: you only need three keys to finish a strange dream. i still don't know where the fourth is.

There are some decent custom levels in the official forums. Fortunately, people have started creating lists of those worth trying.

[Dracko]

Yeah, as a backtracking experiment, Gustav's Daughter is accomplished. But only because it's short, really.

Will try the new one.

Having beaten all of the original stories, I can safely say that Explore Challenge is the worst of them. It's about 10% thinking, 10% solid platforming, and 80% obnoxious trial and error.

[wpham]

I finally finished my first world, "Origami Unicorn." It's a linear platformer, and should take about 5-10 minutes to complete the first time. I basically made it to learn how to use the level editor, as well as to figure out the concrete mechanics of Knytt Stories' platforming.

and/or

watch a complete run on YouTube.

(Special thanks to dessgeega for testing)

This thread has made me browse through Nifflas' games, which I've never tried before. I'm playing Within A Deep Forest. And I need help.

Does anyone remember how to get past the fan in the Lunar Cheese Extraction whatchamacallit level that's blocking a whole hallway? None of the balls are heavy enough to get through when there's no space to build up momentum.

To get Knytt Stories running under Wine, you need to install msvcp60.dll (copy to the windows/system32 folder). It should work mostly okay then. There's also a Mac version of Wine but it can be rather difficult to set up. If you follow the instructions there and here you should be good to go (though you'll need to have X11 [found on the OS X install CD] and maybe also xcode tools installed first).

i've used darwine a bit on my girlfriend's macbook, and it's extremely limited compared to what you'd get on linux.

if i recall correctly, the yoga ball is affected the least by wind.

I've never played Knytt, but I just watched a video and holy shit there's a hang-glider? I really, really want that in Knytt Stories.

[Intentionally Wrong]

Actually, the hang glider's kind of a cheat--it's only accessible by adding some text to the game's config file. But yeah, it really breaks the game wide open.

Well, that's WADF, Knytt, and all the official Knytt Stories expansions.

That was just lovely.

recommendations for this thread from nifflas's forum: a walk at night and it waits, both very different.

my new one should be done soon.

Just wanted to give props for that again. Beautiful design.

And I'm glad that I came back around, since I hadn't noticed A Walk At Night until just now.

EDIT: Fucking shit hell, A Walk At Night isn't unpacking properly. My system seems to have bad luck unpacking some of these things. Most things work just fine, but...! Sigh.

A Walk At Night is short to the point of being like "WHAT?" but it has the atmospherics dialed in.

Dunce query - how does one go about altering the little jumpy lady's colours?

I seem to be using this as a graphic design toy.


Oh, how do you make water kill Juni, anyway? Right now she's totally Christing out -- which I kinda like, actually, but I should at least know how to make it do what it's supposed to.
