Hi there, thank you for posting up a fun game to play. No story = no fancy ending ;)
Anyhow, there was quite a bit of backtracking involved, but it was never boring because each floor had a few items to pick up, and thankfully the shopkeeper sells the same things on each floor.
The fact that there are infinite lives for the player made this game more relaxed towards mistakes, which helped as I kept dying to the bullet-shooting monsters :p
Thank you for making this game, and I look forward to what you'll release in the future :)
I'm going to release extended version/sequel of Knightin' really soon. I haven't uploaded all of my older games to itch yet (but I'll do it one day). You may check them out if you want. My full game collection can be found on gamejolt and on my website.
Wait a minute, you're the creator of Ivan Fukkoff and Sunkin's Wrath!? I enjoyed playing those games, thought I could never quite finish the Sunkin game, probably because it got too hard at a particular boss, though I'm not sure which one :p
Anyhow, I haven't played the game for some time, so I think I got stuck at the giant wizard boss that shoots projectiles at you while jumping in and out of a lava-filled hole in the ground
It's the final boss. His only weak spot is the eye. You have to use trampolines to reach the height needed for attack. He's not too hard if you have obtained the energy shield from the shop. Shield costs 5 diamonds which are all located in the same location (ethereal city).
good game and i hope you do well but there was one thing though the game when you were going through a door if you were to close to the top of the door it would faze through the door a little bit when going through right and left doors but this is a great game and i think hat it will catch on.
you are such a good dev and i hope you keep it up not a lot of devs actually respond to stuff like that but you did and i think you can make it big in this world keep it up :)
Wolod let me know if there actually was a glitch cause this doesnt sound believable so far i tried everything and even so look at his 100% run times they look made up
Hey! I really enjoyed the game, it was incredibly enjoyable and overall fun to play as well as well as fairly challenging! Good luck with further developements!
Glad that you enjoyed my game, I enjoyed your video too. Don't be very harsh on Jeff, he seems to be a nice guy :)
I want to clarify some points.
Both of us (me and McMillen the developer of Binding of Isaac) used old Legend of Zelda games as inspiration for our creations. In fact Knightin' is more similar to Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past than Binding of Isaac. It was an amazing game by the way. A real masterpiece. You should really check it out. I bet that you'll really enjoy it. Just use any free emulator if you don't have any old Nintendo console.
Also I made this game all by myself. But it took me 16 days actually. Pixel Day didn't have very strict deadline ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wolod you talked about a updated version of Knightin a while back is it getting close to finished? Sorry but its about to 2 months since you said that.
Hi i'm the one who got 3:53 for any%. I'm trying to get the world record and i'm using the timer your using but the timer wont show on screen, do you know how to get it on screen?
OMG dude your back ive been waiting for your return if you have a youtube tell me. But if your using OBS is it recording right?
if not use OBS or if its not working tell me. Now do you use LiveSplit I mean you say you use it so ill go with yes. But idk because for me i click the livesplit then open up the window that i need it to be shown on. so maybe minimize whatever browser you are using click on your timer and then click the browser again but pull it back up at the bottom of page?
Btw I think Hold678 has mysteriously disappeared and he's the Knightin' Leaderboard Mod and the ONLY mod right now so idk when he'll be back but i'd say submit any runs you can submit!
Well do you have a timer? I mean LiveSplit is free and there are tutorial on youtube on how to download same with OBS unless you already have a recording software
Hey Hold678 nice to see that the leaderboard finally changed and kept the actual date the run was first uploaded! it must have been slowly loading on leaderboard for weeks now and finally got up by itself? Just glad it finally made it!
Another quality work by Wolod, Knightin' spruces up the look of an old school Zelda dungeon, gives some fun dungeon puzzles to figure out, and sasses you in a scroll. It's never super difficult and always fun. I dig it.
This is actually one of my favorite games, I tried to find a way to convert it to a .NES file, so I could download it on my DS, nut haven't found a way.
Wolod by any chance after you beat the Quag do coin drops become less frequent? cause i did 100% run and after boss coins were harder to acquire for 100%. by my time was actually 17:55 because Ghost Amulet grind
Exotic your run did not have you collect the fourth item. I realize it is very hard to collect the health upgrade and the key and the item from the shop. But you must collect all of those
ok Hold678 i submitted a run of every room and every item from ShopKeeper and ended up with 17:55! The Ghost Amulet grind was so much time i ended boss at 8:04 thats almost 10 min grind! next time im grinding before fighting boss! also obs is working for me now thanks for the suggestion.
Wonder when DarkCreeperLord will come back cause after i beat his time by a lot i haven't seen him since! If he wishes to come back and try he could submit to the speedrun.com/knightin' leader-board
Hello I am Hold678 I am the moderator of the Knightin' category on the website speedrun.com. Here is the link: https://www.speedrun.com/Knightin (It is still work in progress)
Yeah I started speed running the game. My record is 3:43. I want to show people the game. I would like to see exoticpanda submit a run on the Leaderboard.
dont have a good recorder but if you could suggest one ill record the best time i can get beside 3:31 because it'd be hard to do again at least 3:34-3:36 might be my best but ill try to find one ty
Stumbled upon this gem a few days ago. I have been enjoying my time thoroughly with this game. I love the 2D Zelda games a ton, and you've perfectly captured that feeling when playing. Keep up the amazing work! (Finally made an account for this comment lol!)

Thank you for this very informative review!

Yes, I am :)
Which boss was too hard? I can give a hint
Aha :D
Anyhow, I haven't played the game for some time, so I think I got stuck at the giant wizard boss that shoots projectiles at you while jumping in and out of a lava-filled hole in the ground

Thanks for the bug report. I'll fix it soon.
you are such a good dev and i hope you keep it up not a lot of devs actually respond to stuff like that but you did and i think you can make it big in this world keep it up :)
Thank you! I'll try my best :)
One of THE BEST games I have ever played. If you make this into a bigger series, I will certainly buy it, hands down!
Thank you very much! I'm working on an extended version actually. It will be called Knightin'+ and I'm going to release it really soon.
I'm excited to see it!
I am only just now learning how to make a Zelda like game myself. I hope with time, that mine will be as good as yours someday!
And I'll be very excited to play your game as soon as it'll be finished :)
Nearly 11k of views on this fantastic game. Keep up the great work everyone.
wobblyfootgamerThanks! Keep up the great work too.

My congratulations! I'll patch the game soon (before the release of Knightin'+). Player won't be able to skip shield after that ;)
nah wtf how do you skip shield :0
Wolod let me know if there actually was a glitch cause this doesnt sound believable so far i tried everything and even so look at his 100% run times they look made up
Hey, ExoticPanda! It's not a glitch, but a little level design flaw. Nevermind it anyway. I'll upload the updated version with lots of fixes soon.
you just buy the key from the shop then walk though the door to skip shield.
Cute, fun, polished and beautiful. Good work, I love it! <3
Thank you very much ^_^
first game i played on itch.io
Hope you've enjoyed it ;)
i did i wish the store have more of the items at a low price
Hey! I really enjoyed the game, it was incredibly enjoyable and overall fun to play as well as well as fairly challenging! Good luck with further developements!

nice game, i want more
There will be more. Just you wait :)
Fun and simple. I wish the last boss had a bit better tells and that more puzzles actually required you to use the items you find, but overall great.
Thanks! Glad that you liked it.
This is a really good game! I really enjoyed it! Good work!
Thanks a lot!
Wolod you talked about a updated version of Knightin a while back is it getting close to finished? Sorry but its about to 2 months since you said that.
Hey! Knightin'+ is going to be finished this summer. And original Knightin' will be updated few days before the sequel release.
Nice Wolod
-3min off last Record 15:42.79
-11 secs off last record
Hey Hold678 if youre there tell me had no communication and my runs havent been submitted yet just wanna know if youre still there.
Wanna see when World Record Starts go to 11:38 in video!
I edited this video to where it ONLY show World Record now so dont bother looking for it! its right in front of you!
Hope this helped Hold678 i pulled the clip out for you.
Hi i'm the one who got 3:53 for any%. I'm trying to get the world record and i'm using the timer your using but the timer wont show on screen, do you know how to get it on screen?
OMG dude your back ive been waiting for your return if you have a youtube tell me. But if your using OBS is it recording right?

But idk because for me i click the livesplit then open up the window that i need it to be shown on. so maybe minimize whatever browser you are using click on your timer and then click the browser again but pull it back up at the bottom of page?
I could only figure it out if maybe you recorded the problem and posetd it to your channel on youtube for me to see.
But after that is fixed if you do Any% runs submit them to leaderboard and I'd like to know if you'd ever do 100% or No Damage?
Btw I think Hold678 has mysteriously disappeared and he's the Knightin' Leaderboard Mod and the ONLY mod right now so idk when he'll be back but i'd say submit any runs you can submit!
No i don't have a youtube, OBS or LiveSplit so that might be the problem.
but i cant get a youtube. :(
Also how does OBS work? Besides LiveSplit is not working...
Well do you have a timer? I mean LiveSplit is free and there are tutorial on youtube on how to download same with OBS unless you already have a recording software
Hey Hold678 nice to see that the leaderboard finally changed and kept the actual date the run was first uploaded! it must have been slowly loading on leaderboard for weeks now and finally got up by itself? Just glad it finally made it!
it's a good game with good music... i like
<3
thank you ^_^
exotic please resubmit your 15 minute run in 100%
Your 15 minute 100% run is not working for some reason I have no idea why
WTF how ive uploaded like 2nd time now
try taking down my 1st one and upload 15min one ill submit again but if still not work ill resubmit my 17:55
cute grhapichs! its great! take a look of our game too! Fluffy Defenders! Thanks!
Thanks! I'll check your game today.
Another quality work by Wolod, Knightin' spruces up the look of an old school Zelda dungeon, gives some fun dungeon puzzles to figure out, and sasses you in a scroll. It's never super difficult and always fun. I dig it.
Good job on this.Thanks a lot! I enjoyed your video very much!
Fun little game, very much enjoy games like these! =D
Glad that you enjoyed Knightin'!
You missed a shield on the second floor, but you did well without it anyway :D
I'll narrow a gap between pillars near the boss door. Thanks for pointing that out.
Hahaha not a prob! xD Loved the game! Also yah I figured I missed SOMETHING like that =P
hey Hold678 add one more rule to 100% that says "open all chests." then it'd be 100% run.
This is actually one of my favorite games, I tried to find a way to convert it to a .NES file, so I could download it on my DS, nut haven't found a way.
can someone help with this?
I don't think that it's possible.
sad. It's my favorite game so far, though a little short, I guess that's to expect in indie gadev.
I'm making a game of my own, and this platformer only has 10 levels so far!!
This is my chart for all floors:
Good job on the no damage run of the game. I believe there is improvement in the 100% run. Again very good job.
Wolod by any chance after you beat the Quag do coin drops become less frequent? cause i did 100% run and after boss coins were harder to acquire for 100%. by my time was actually 17:55 because Ghost Amulet grind
Exotic your run did not have you collect the fourth item. I realize it is very hard to collect the health upgrade and the key and the item from the shop. But you must collect all of those
thats fine itll make runs after 10:00 though guess it more of a challenge ;) just how do i grind coins for the last item
ok Hold678 i submitted a run of every room and every item from ShopKeeper and ended up with 17:55! The Ghost Amulet grind was so much time i ended boss at 8:04 thats almost 10 min grind! next time im grinding before fighting boss! also obs is working for me now thanks for the suggestion.
Wonder when DarkCreeperLord will come back cause after i beat his time by a lot i haven't seen him since! If he wishes to come back and try he could submit to the speedrun.com/knightin' leader-board
World Record Any% 3:40.92 by ExoticPanda
Floor 1-51.90 Floor 2-1:56.72 Floor 3-2:57.67 Boss-3:40.92

I just verified it but to say a recorder I use OBS. https://obsproject.com/
