Preview: Knytt Stories

RELEASED: 30 AUGUST 2007
FORMAT: PC (REQUIREMENTS: LOW)
DEVELOPER: "NIFFLAS" NICKLAS NYGREN

My love affair with 'Within a Deep Forest' began with a PC games mag reviewer talking about cheap balls slapping you in the face.

'Within a Deep Forest' isn't a cheap
plastic ball, though, it's a massive gold nugget. A massive gold nugget of evidence that some of the best things in life really are free. Gameplay. Atmosphere. And graphics (albeit 2d), too. Oh, and don't forget about the music.

'Knytt', then, came knocking on my door with a large rock to carry. I'm currently working on a review, so I'll stop here.

'Knytt Stories' has a release date of the 30th of August.

A 2d platform game similar to 'Knytt', although seemingly featuring a different character, and with more of a challenge, 'Knytt Stories' will also come with a free level editor.
It should follow the same atmospheric path forged by Nifflas' previous games, which is no bad thing. And will have more of a story element.

'Knytt Stories' (and the powerful level editor) will be free, but an expansion pack with extra levels and music will be made available for purchase.
