Respectively, this news also made it to the front page of the popular gaming blog Joystiq!

That's not the first time Knytt Stories has made it onto the pages of Joystiq. I was really surprised to see that Chalk wasn't on the list. That was released in 2007, right? //

It's scary to see so many people are entertained by a dot travelling from one end of the screen to the other. Strange, it actually beat out games with good gameplay. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.

You present your opinion rather blunt. I myself am amazed at what nifflas manages to create with his Knytt games. You are absolutely right about the game lacking puzzles, but to say it lacks gameplay is absurd. It's a game that goes beyond casual gaming opposite most other home-brewes. The atmosphere is extraordinary! The freedom is, in lack of better description, art. It was amazing that nifflas managed to create the original Knytt, and to be able to make a sequel that exceeded it was even more amazing! There is something about those two games that make them the gems they are. They are indeed simple, but brilliant in their simplicity. And if you are unable to experience them in their fullest, I feel sorry for your lacking that ability. Eternal Entertainment's Code'n'Art Man E_E = All Indie ...actually Ell Endie, but whatever.

But I do get the feeling that these lists are based more on popularity than actually having played every single freeware game that year. Which is not easy to do but would make things more accurate. .

If it was just a few Nifflas levels I'd have gotten bored much quicker than I did. The fanbase is a bit crap though. I suggested some nice features for Nifflas before he released 1.1 or 1.2 or whatever. And the people on his forum set attitudes to defend! A bad bunch. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j--8iXVv2_U On the sixth day God created Manchester "You gotta get that sand out your vaj!" x13 www.bossbaddie.com

markno2 Registered 06/06/2006 Points 865	21st December, 2007 at 10:22:30 - The shabbiness of the graphics and the lack of enemies makes this game feel more like an engine test. Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.
