Knytt Stories (YKnytt)

WIN

YKnytt: an open-source reimplementation of Knytt Stories, Nifflas’s (Nicklas Nygren’s) exploration platformer, written in C# with Godot 3. Knytt Stories is freeware, and YKnytt comes with its graphics, music, sounds, and tilesets, plus Nifflas’s levels, such as The Machine or An Underwater Adventure, and the tutorials. From inside the program you can search, filter, rate, and download community-made levels, and send your latest save when a level breaks. It adds a side-scrolling mode with parallax backgrounds and a camera that leaves more room ahead of Juni, a viewport you can fit to your screen, a full-screen map with markers and colored keys, emergency saves, total time and deaths for each save, controller support, and a portable mode for running it from a USB drive. There are builds for Windows, macOS, and Linux (x64, and ARM64 for handhelds, also on PortMaster), one for Android, and a web version on itch.io. The latest is 0.7.3 beta (July 8, updated August 5). The 0.7.1 release notes say the code contains one AI-generated function.
