Signing up to the "The Music Is Stupendous" Club. That a relatively tiny little project like this nails thoroughly satisfying BGM more convincingly than most titles I might pick up from my nearest Games Retailer puts the entire fucking Industry to shame, rather.
This was delightful, cheers. The GameBrick-ish cosmetics sat just fine (black, cosmic waterfalls, oh my); the crafty wall-jumping was much appreciated by the Megaman X player in me.
And if little else, it confirms for my mind that the 'simple' task of negotiating a competently-hewn obstacle course alone - no call for thwarting or collecting things - is a sufficiently rewarding videogame experience, one that I dearly wish more developers were willing to pursue.
(Fingers, talons, hooves, and tentacles crossed for Little Big Planet to hit a similar spot.) |

| The little section in Underwater with the white striplighting on black wasn't shabby at all. Uh, if you're seeking suggestions. |

This rubbed my brain the right way also. 2 from 2, young person. |

... and it's quite the bastard, in places. Clearable, however, even for flailing morons like me. |

"Return to the Luminous City" on Hard is vicious and gruelling. |

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.

With a title as chosen, I rather expected more overt Bladerunner-referencing than I got, but never mind - some thoroughly cruel gymnastic demands at the end there came close to damaging my fingers...
If a decent (platform) game-experience is determined by hitting the right balance between Challenge and Flow, this episode had a touch too much of the former. Trial and error to the point of vocalised frustration's not a boat-floater, personally.
Nevertheless, it's another demonstration of how potentially valuable a sketch-booking tool this little program is.
People - is it worth bothering with the first Knytt title, after this? |

Solid work, as is becoming traditional. Even if it did elicit far more loud, frustrated swearing than I find comfortable.
A tad to T&E-cruel to be actually that fun, I'm afraid. Nice piano ditty, whoever. |

| Can't really imagine why not - they're all .ogg files, it seems. |

Back-pats for him, then.
I'm getting a strong urge to compose something to compliment a few A Certain Ratio tracks now, I must admit. |

Cute little exercise. |
