A free game that got it right!

User Rating: 9.7 | Knytt PC
At first glance Knytt appears to be your average platformer. But as soon as you load this game up (which mind you isn’t very big – 19 mb) you see that this game is one of a kind. The idea of the game is that you’re a knytt, or a small tiny little monkey creature. Aliens abduct you and crash land on a distant planet. Now you must traverse across the vast world searching for parts for the ship so you and the alien can get out and go home. The control scheme is simple. Arrow keys to move and 2 other keys. S: which makes you jump and A: Points you in the nearest direction of a part you must collect.

The game play is simple yet addictive. You can climb up walls jump across gaps and dodge enemies.
What makes it so fun is the fluid motion you make as you run. On most Occasions you’ll not stop running, hence keeping you interested.

The map design is HUGE with very little in the way of loading screens. The are also many areas ranging from ruins to caves to deserts. All the texture is very well designed and the NPC’s that fill up the background every now and again make the place more alive. Going from one area to another is seamless as they fade into one another. The music makes the game. The ambient trip-hop fills flows in and out every now and again so give the game some sound. Also depending on the area you are in will depend on the style and tempo. All in all this is a GREAT game and the only bad thing about this game is when you finish because you want to keep playing and exploring more and more. It’s easily one of the most addictive small and free games on the net.

Two thumbs up……
