RE: the KE news. I’m quite thankful for that. Knytt is the only game of his I like, KS lost the atmosphere for me. There (or at least since I last checked) hasn’t been a map as expansive and fun to explore as Knytt 1’s.

Chances are I wouldn’t have liked KE or anything else he brings unless it’s as good as Knytt 1 on every level it surpassed other games as.

About the Knytt Experiment, I was thinking about just that ever since Knytt Stories came out. It just didn’t seem quite like Nifflas’ style. It seemed like he was trying to catter, even if just a bit, to the wishes of the people that wanted more ‘action’ in his games. They shouldn’t be playing those games to begin with, really, if they were looking for ‘action’.

I’m personally glad he cancelled KE. Hopefully his next games will retain the WADF and Knytt personalities. Screw what the audience thinks. If you’re gonna make a free game, you make it anyway you want.

I wanted to heed the call of nature so badly at that time - glad I held on for another thirty seconds.

Still, I’m sure someone will beat that score soon.

Ahhh, Tim. Touché.

I finally beat yours and zmann's score, with 2000+, no less, and eagerly went to check the highscores, looking foward to seeing my name in that no. 1 place.

Only to find that you had beaten it.

Meh, it’s mostly a patience tester, a lot like MSoids was. If the game does have some kind of difficulty scaling over time, it’s either way too slow or way too random.

I mean, there is an initial difficulty curve where you learn how to play that game, but once you get good enough, that gets you to about 500 point in either game. After that, it seems rather random when I die, which makes me believe that after a point, skill is less of a factor in your score, and luck takes over.

So both games are “patience testers” because to get a good score, you have to play either quite a few times before you get lucky enough to get a highscore (once your skill level has gotten to that point).
