Knightin’+
This demo contains only the first dungeon. Join brave sir Lootalot on his epic quest in this little Zelda-lite adventure. Explore and fight your way through the dangerous dungeons filled with traps, puzzles and magical artifacts. And, of course, show the evil bosses who is the real boss here. Knightin'+ is a classic adventure game made by one person (yep, it's me) inspired by the amazing masterpieces from 90s. So what can you expect from this game? Let's sum up: Classic adventure gameplay (i.e. explore the dungeon, fight monsters, solve puzzles, collect loot, unlock new abilities, proceed to the next dungeon). Tongue-in-cheek story (that shouldn't be taken seriously by any means). Stylish pixel art graphics. Catchy soundtrack. Full controller support.

A really fun little game!
Going on my third run through, and I've had a blast every time. You're able to grind for money if you can't complete the puzzles (though the puzzles aren't punishing if you've got either a mind for them, or some patience,) and the bosses are enemies are simple, but entertaining. Still only halfway through the game, and I would still recommend it to anyone.

Fine little game, with cool puzzles and simple designs. Some puzzles even required to break head over. And I'm proud I only needed help with 2 puzzles: 1 because I couldn't get it and 2nd because I was near the end and grew impatient. I'm also proud such nice game was made by Ukranian developers. Slava Ukraine!

Coupon Game
This is honestly such a good hidden indie gem I didnt think much of it when I got the coupon for this game but after watching the trailer I figured i spend like the $2 on it and I would have the $6 for it because even though theres only 4 dungeons each dungeon is completely unique with different enemies, mechanics, puzzles, and End dungeon bosses. I absolutely love the pixel art and that retro style soundtrack definitely worth it!

It's zelda 1 with more combat depth and harder puzzles. What's not to love?

Knightin'+ is a narrowly scoped Zelda tribute - 4 multi-level dungeons, each with its layout, puzzles, optional treasures, health & mana expansions, purchasable and discoverable upgrades, key item, enemies, environmental hazards, and boss.
You play as Sir Lootalot... 🤣🤪
Silliness aside, Knightin'+ harkens back to an earlier era in indie gaming. This feels like something that could have enjoyed a moment in the sun on the Wii Shop Channel in 2008. It's a very focused, back-to-basics exercise, and I found myself appreciating it more and more as it went along.
Save points are not hard to find, and they restore half your health and mana. Puzzles that are solved once stay solved for ease of navigation. Treasure chests feel rewarding.
The biggest surprise in Knightin' is that it includes roughly 20 Sokoban puzzle rooms, and these feel elegant (simple to understand what you're looking at) but gradually increase in difficulty, with a few late-game puzzles being brutally hard. For me, this was a plus. There's a guide on Steam if you're tearing your hair out and need to look one or two of them up. Additionally, every dungeon in Knightin' includes rooms where some kind of spatial pattern is the hidden solution to a puzzle elsewhere in the dungeon, and this pretty much requires you to carefully look at rooms before you leave and also to take notes or screenshots. Not everyone will love this, but for me it was a positive: non-obvious, consistent, fair, and requiring you to pay attention.
A diamond in the rough. If you have a fondness for 2D Zelda dungeoneering where you sort of pick apart the dungeon as you go, probe it, chart it, master it, tame it - you will probably like this.

Very fun game to just relax and run around in.
