Game of the Week Winner

The Daily Click HIGHLY Recommended

In Knytt Stories, each level is its own little adventure. One level is included with the game, where you have to stop a machine that draws the life out of the planet. An official expansion pack is also featured at the website with four original levels.

The game also comes with a powerful level editor, that does however not come with a documentation. You'll find one at http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=60.0

A lot of things in the editor are combinations of shift+right/left mouse button. For example, you do not need to click the tileset selector 128 times to get to tileset #128, just shift+click to jump in steps of 10, or use shift+scrollwheel. This applies to most things in the editor.

I need more levels.

Oh yeah, about installing levels: you should make it delete the level directory if the installation of the level failed. It said the dir already existed after I failed to install a corrupt level.

I look for a space in the armor and stab away before seeing who's under the helmet, Phizzy!

Loose translation: I saw another opportunity to dis the ratings system and took it, even though I had the same thought you had about the total votes.

Hey, I said dis! Didn't they retire that word? Oh no, that was Def. Oh ebonics, you slay me.

... if it is good: thumbs up, if not: thumbs down

Why don't you like the vote system. It is so clear: hot or not - everything

. Probably most of you (like DaVince) voted even before playing the game... is THIS honest?

This is so absolutely brilliant. I like this much more than I like ED.

Posted by Del Duio

10th September, 2007

I liked ED, but the big difference is I have a snowball's chance with this one!

ED is way too hard, for me at least. Not enough HP plus enemies do a lot of damage. It's really good in its own way though. I couldn't make it

My first vote with the new voting system!

I found the new gameplay elements to be quite trivial and unnecessary, but the atmosphere, music and the beautifully crafted and often interesting environments and landscapes are more than enough to earn my five stars! Definitely looking forward to seeing what Nifflas comes up with next.

This is a true masterpiece, it has the atmosphere that a majority of the adventure games are trying to have. I love it. Intuitive is to weak a word to describe the controls. It's art in it's finest hour. Must be cause you're a Swede - Go chilly north!

Not only one of the best klick games I've played, but one of the best games I've played all together. The music, sound, and even the grahpics, took me in big time. 5 stars. Played The Machine, now it's time to download the other ones. Thanks for a great game.

Amazing artistic direction combined with the complex level-editor and tight controls all lead me to believe that people will be playing this for years to come.

There isn't much to it really, it's a well made little game with some nice touches but i feel not as great everyone thinks.
The editor does give it some extra life.

Smooth, relaxing, enjoyable... although, I wish the graphics style wasnt so "micro" at times. Its hard to distinguish between harmful objects and passive ones at some points, which is a little frustating.

I think it was very good, I'm not really a fan of the going back and forth level design and some parts seemed a bit empty, but the music was great.

I just finished playing the game. =P Of course I could say it does not have a lot of things, but based on what is on the game... I believe everything works well and serves its purpose. With that said, I enjoyed playing the game, and considering I actually played through its entirety... I believe it is worth the rating I decided to give it. =D Keep up the good work!

I love this game. Actually played it last night to see what the hype was about. I played have the game on Normal, but later found it more fun playing it on Easy, just to travel the landscape.

There's something strangely magical about the game. It's one of the few games and the only klik game that gave me a warm, fuzzy feeling after playing it. I think the Normal difficulty takes away attention from enjoying the landscape, but it's nice that we were given the choice

I half like this, I half don't but you can't give 2.5 stars. Love the exploration but I think it needs something a lot more going for it.

I finally managed to get the secret ending in The Machine one, which is the first one.

The graphics are beautiful but quite basic, it just goes to show that graphics aren't always everything.

5 stars from me. This is what platformers SHOULD be like. It's just... fun. Simple, yet with loads of good ideas. Great, atmospheric music, simple but distinctive sound effects, and I love the way you've got it designed so perfectly I never got lost, always seemed to find the right way, learned all of the controls with out looking at the tutorial and managed to complete the game within 20 minutes. So much effort has gone into this it should be illegal for people to rate it lowly. I mean, WHY, people? 2 star? 3 star? There are games made within a couple of hours with ripped graphics and music which get rated higher than that. What is WRONG with some of you?

This game deserves the fame it's got. If only I had thought this idea up first.

One of the best games ever made. If I wan't so biased towards Sonic the Hedgehog, this would be my favourite game - not favourite Click game, my favourite game. It is indeed my favourite non-Sonic game! A brilliant feat indeed! Nifflas, you should be knighted.

A Click Classic, no doubt about it.

Oh, and congrats on winning Game of the Year from Gamasutra. Very well deserved indeed.

In closing, you rock!

I don't see it as anything but an artistic breakthrough, not music, not coding which are all pretty much standard.

A very good engine!!, I found this in one of game maker's games , so I was asking if there was 2 version: one made with MMF2 and one with Game maker.
or did you do this only with MMF2?
