I’ve always wanted to develop a game that is heavily-story based, but I’ve always waited to do it until I had a story I really want to tell; something personal and different. Problem is, I can’t just decide to come up with such a story whenever I want. It’s an unusual and mysterious process and it kind of just… happens. Knytt Underground is the result of this process. Oh, and it’s also a pretty sweet exploration platform game.
Hardcore Gamer: For $2, you can get Postal, Expeditions: Conquistador, Knytt Underground, Blockland, Steel Storm: Complete Edition, and Rock of Ages.

It is in discovery that Knytt Underground manages to excite by luring your curiosity throughout its entirety. Broody and evocative, Nifflas signals the emerging rise of the indies on the Nintendo eShop, crafting experiences that rival even the platform holder’s lofty creations.
Matt of RGN writes, "Knytt is at its core, a 2D platformer, but adds a large world to explore and gives the player abilities to solve puzzles and advance throughout the world, allowing the character to dash, fly and teleport, among other powers. Each chapter of the game involves different aspects of gameplay, with the first being an introduction to the main character, the second focused on a ball form, and the third combining both together. While frustrating at times during the beginning as you figure out how each power works and controls, once you’ve got the hang of it, Knytt Underground is absolutely hard to put down and each place you explore is a fun experience."
like the idea but i seem to be worried by the gameplay...i hope this has a story to deal with not just run jump and turn to a bouncing ball
It's like Limbo on acid.
Grrr, why does EU get this and Big Sky Infinity free with Plus and all NA gets are games I already bought?
