lately i stumbled across a nice jump'n'run game called knytt Stories. The Graphics reminds me a bit of Super Mario, but somehow more minimalistic and retro. So I gave it a try and:

I LOVE IT

The gameplay is good, fast, easy to learn (nice tutorial), the characters are so cute , the sound is very ambient and: there are hundreds of additional levels available on the internetze

please give it a try!


The game runs under windows, but by using wine (and some tricks) also under linux etc.
