Yay!

Can someone please mirror this on Rapidshare or something? For some reason, the national firewall that I am behind seems to be blocking Nifflas' site.

I loved Knytt and especially WADF, but come on, come up with something new, Nifflas, you are ruining the Knytt name with so much crappy vaporware, you are becoming the EA man, just spitting out sequels like there's no tomorrow.

I like the animation of the main character and the animated background, but I can't play the game decently in a such tiny window.
I wish a 2x magnified window. :)
Anyway I completed the game.

A cute, clever and lovely game; as always......

I don't think creating sequels is a bad thing. After all, Knytt Stories was huge and gives enjoyment to hundreds of people, and Knytt Experiment was too a great idea. The thing is that he can't everytime create a new huge complex game. Sometimes you want to do something smaller. Especially when Nifflas has a very minimalistic style overall.

>you are ruining the Knytt name with so much crappy vaporware

Since when? This is just an unfinished game that I decided to create a mini-game out of rather than abandon and release on my forum so the community could check it out - I didn't even announce it at my website. It's just like my other mini-games (The Turtle Philosopher, Pteranodon, and Riddle). You should see how surprised I was to see this being posted at websites. This game is nothing to be taken as seriously as it obviously was, and I have always released a mini game every now and then while I'm working on a large scale project (which is not a Knytt game this time).

I agree with nifflas!
