Knytt Stories Makes Triumphant Debut

- A bunch of people are shouting about this, but TIGSource says it best, yay: "Knytt Stories and a lunar eclipse in one night? Surely it’s a subtle sign from the Universe that this is something special."

From the official site: "Knytt Stories doesn't have a specific plot. Instead, each level is its own little adventure. A level called 'The Machine' is included with the game, where you have to stop a machine that draws the life out of the planet." Wow, weirder and weirder - we ran a preview of the game just 3 days ago, lest you forget.

Anyhow, Lim-Dul is already salivating on TIGSource: "Holy macaroni! This game is AWESOME! That is - all of Nifflas’ games are but this one upped the ante yet again. All the small details, the wonderful music, the smooth controls, the overall design… AND there are 9 additional worlds ready to be downloaded already!" Dominic White adds: "Isn’t it a GOOD thing that the moment you beat the game, there’s already another nine (four by Nifflas, five by his beta testers) stories waiting for you?" Indie madness!

Comments

this game is absolute magic. the "underwater adventure" episode, available on the game's website, is particularly recommended.

Really, how many commercial games can beat this? Well, ok, Bioshock, I see your point, still Knytt Stories is absolutely fantastic!

I can see how this will flourish into something really awesome! I cant wait to play future episodes.
