AppSir's retro-styled platformer, Climb Knight, is getting a significant free update on February 25th! This isn't just a minor tweak; it includes three brand new one-bit minigames and a mysterious advisor character reminiscent of Apple Newton shareware.
AppSir consistently delivers unique and engaging indie experiences on mobile, as evidenced by our positive review of their previous title, Spooky Pixel Hero. Their games consistently offer a distinctive blend of spooky aesthetics and retro charm. Climb Knight, initially well-received, is now getting this substantial expansion.
The update's inclusion of a new advisor character, however, hints at a deeper, perhaps unsettling, layer to the gameplay, given AppSir's history of intriguing and slightly spooky releases. The developer's surprise at Climb Knight's positive reception clearly motivated this generous update.
AppSir demonstrates that dedicated indie developers can achieve significant mobile success by embracing unconventional approaches. While not quite the "new blood" of smartphone gaming, their work shares a similar spooky, retro aesthetic with the acclaimed Faith trilogy.
