KNIGHTS AND BIKES is a hand-painted action-adventure for 1 or 2 players, set on a British island in the 1980s. It's a coming-of-age story starring Nessa & Demelza, exploring the coasts of Penfurzy on their trusty bikes, looking for a legendary lost treasure in a Goonies-inspired tale of excitement, danger, fun and friendship. The two new friends, along with their pet-goose and the pickled-head of an undead knight, form the Penfurzy Rebel Bicycle Club, and are ready for anything this adventure throws at them. They pedal into danger to face threats head-on with frisbees, water-balloons, video game controllers and the powerful beats of an amplified boom-box.

Was looking for a fun adventure co-op game to play with my partner. This game was perfect! Fantastic art style, adorable characters, a tear jerking story, childlike whimsy and humor, and a great number of puzzles and boss fights. Such a great game that we were able to play through over the course of a week. 100% recommend!

Played Couch Coop with my 9yo, highly recommend this fun and imaginative adventure to any fans of whimsy and local coop games.

Review from 2020:
Super cute and wholesome game about a little girl coping with the loss of her mom. The coop AI is very smart, only getting hung up once. Cute cute cute.

This game might not be for everyone, but I had a really great time playing it with a friend. It felt very nostalgic and reminded me of how I used to play with my old friends when I was a kid.
The soundtrack is beautiful and It reminded me of Life is Strange, which is one of my favourite games.
The story was a bit confusing at first, but as it went on, it became very emotional, especially when it started talking about grief. Overall, it is a kind and fun experience .

It is a fun co-op game that is simple enough so that its casual but hard enough that its fun and intense at times! Story is great and especially the sound and music. Highly recommend trying this out with someone you vibe with :)

This game was quite a RIDE. Pun intended.
The overall gameplay and story were fun, it's got heart, the art style is so charming, the soundtrack is great (especially *that* one - I WANNA RIDE MY BIIIKE ALL DAY ALL NIGHT), and you get to put yourself in the shoes of a kid (or kids) and get that imagination that you've probably started to ignore as an adult going again.

The positive review is by a narrow margin, because there is quite a lot going on in the game, and several parts of it are definitely not at their peak implementation (controls in general, object recognition, some enemies, and more). However, there is good counterbalance in an interesting, not too forced story, a solid solution for the "replay a day" feature, and some nicely unexpected subversions of usual game expectations. The game has a slow start, but turns out to be quite enjoyable towards the end.
Fun side note: Other Double Fine games suffered from a poor auto-save feature, whereas this one auto-saves like crazy!
