Knock the Monster is a remake of Erik Svedäng and Petri Purho's collaborative effort which was originally developed for the inaugural No More Sweden meet. The aim of the game is to knock over a rectangular-shaped monster in each level, by drawing lines of chains to move and swing a heavy weight towards it. A weight attaches itself to a new chain whenever it touches the hook at either end of a chain, while players can cut chains at any time by right-clicking after the level has started to influence proceedings.

Right click on a chain in edit mode to remove it. The restart option can be used to generate a new area whenever players encounter a level that is impossible to solve due to random girder placements. The game also does not have an ending, even though the backstory seems to suggest otherwise.

OK, how about no more iron construction beams in games any more?

They're to platforms what empty crates are to graphics.

Let them be no more!

The original game was way more erotic. I'm dissapointed this new theme doesn't have more pr0n in it.
