Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
For no apparent reason, a cute little character called the Knytt is abducted from his home planet by a random alien spaceship. When the craft crashes on an unexplored planet, it's up to the Knytt to find the 11 spare parts needed for repair. This independent freeware game from Nifflas is short on action and long on exploration, with a spare but interesting visual style and engaging, ambient sounds.
All in all, Knytt is a standard 2D platformer, but the emphasis is on navigating the maze, rather than on bopping bad guys on the noggin. You will encounter a few enemies along the way, but they are all avoidable. There's no way for the Knytt to attack anyone or anything. The Knytt can move in all four directions, climbing or descending any wall he can reach. Other than that, you'll mainly use S to jump and A to indicate the direction of the next spare part you need to find. Hidden question marks offer power-ups such as super speed and super jump, and there's even supposedly a mini game, though we weren't able to find it during our run-through.
Knytt is a short game that can likely be finished in an afternoon, but it's also easily digestible in numerous 15-minute coffee breaks, and the game supports up to three save points for multiple players. Knytt could have been made in the 1980s, but the huge labyrinth for exploration, the minimalist, ambient sounds, and the freeware status help earn it a very well-deserved four stars.
Publisher's Description
From Nifflas:
The Knytt was abducted by an alien! Traveling through space, the UFO flies into a meteor and crashes on a nearby planet. Luckily, the Knytt and the alien survive, but the UFO is a wreck. How can the Knytt possibly find it's way back home again?
Knytt is a free platform game for Windows featuring exploration and atmosphere.

"fun game--Does NOT look like the picture!"
Version: Knytt 1.0.1
Pros
it is a fun and simple game to learn, but challenging, You do not need an internet connection to play. good for children
Cons
It is very simple pixulated graphics-not like the picture shown
Summary
I got this game for my mentally disabled sister, her intellect is about that of a 7 year old. She didnt get the chance to play it while I was there, but I think she will be able to learn to play it on her own, it seems challenging for her so I hope it will entertain her for long periods of time. Another great thing is you do NOT need an internet connection to play this game. I just downloaded it to my flash drive and put it on her computer.

"Beautifully Immersive"
Version: Knytt 1.0.1
Pros
This is a beautifully constructed world which you can immerse yourself in completely. The controls come naturally and the game isn't difficult to beat. The pleasure comes from exploring the world, admiring the way it seamlessly transforms from one scene to the next and the way it's ornamented with nice animation and ambient music.

"This game is awesome, once I started playing I couldn't stop!"
Version: Knytt 1.0.1
Pros
The animations and music are so original, and the detail is so good, you almost forget it's 2-D. It's challenging, yet not so hard you give up. The music, the creatures, and the world really make you feel like you crash landed on an alien planet.
Cons
I wish the game was longer, I beat it super fast.

"Beautiful."
Version: Knytt 1.0.1
Pros
There isn't much to Knytt. You'll only encounter two or three creatures that actually do you harm; the adventure is exploring this vast, expansive 2D world. The environment never gets boring. Every few screens you'll enter a new world with a new look. Each of these plains has it's own ambient soundtrack, which was the most impressive aspect to me. It's all seamless. The music really sets the mood. The game is so enthralling, and yet, it's just a 2D game. Control feels very natural, and I enjoyed watching my character's smooth animations. Definitely try this one out. It's anything but action-driven, but it's intriguingly interesting and shouldn't be missed.
