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.

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 .

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!

I had a ton of fun, the graphics, the sound design, the story and the characters are all bangers! We need more games like that

the graphic is cute, Demelza expression is the best.

I was looking for a game to play with a friend and this game seemed to suit the bill nicely. It's whimsical and fun, and has both co-op elements and light combat. My friend has not been a hardcore, lifelong gamer like myself and I wanted to start with something easier. I also didn't want a game where we were fighting each other or just clobbering everything. Some of the battles were tough, even from the perspective of someone with more experience, but we muddled our way through. Fighting tends to be more strategy than brute force. I liked that neither of us had been exposed to the game before so we got to explore it and figure it out together. My main gripe mechanics-wise is that the bikes were hard to get going and steer, but eventually you get them rolling enough to careen onward.
Overall I found the game fun and it made me laugh quite a few times with its innocent humor. I love that the goose follows you around everywhere. It was a nice way to spend a few nights with a friend. The plot is light and a bit generic, but that leaves more room to explore without any pressure.
Also, I had a hard time figuring out how to upgrade the bikes early on. If you hit Escape there's an option to do it in the menu! You don't have to be in the bike shop; you can do it anywhere at any time!
