Hello!

Thank you for the praise on One Epic Screen. I was inspired to make it based on One Screen Puzzle 4, which is my personal favorite entry in the genre.

I would also like to recommend Uno, by Willster, which was the first Single Screen level I played years ago, and still stands as one of the best entries.

There is also the excellent Compact by the venerable Vegetal Gibber.

Thank you for compiling this level list!

Can you challenge the legend?

Contest 2: The Lunatic Completionist run was indeed completed, and the winner will be announced at the contest end.

Contest 3: We currently have THREE, possibly FOUR submissions for Contest 3! Please submit any remaining submissions within the next week.

While I haven't played the final release, the closed beta for this level was nothing short of spectacular. There is something for everyone here: Beautiful scenery, Puzzles, platformer challenges, a compelling story, and a lot to explore and see. This is easily one of the Top 10 KS Levels of all time. I'm looking forward to replaying this several times!

Calling all Knytt Stories Players! Welcome to the first ever Play Knytt Stories contest!

First, allow me to introduce an all-new level by the one and only Vegetal Gibber, Ruins of EGA-Lana. This level has everything... EGA graphics, Easy, Hard, and Lunatic modes, collectible artifacts, and tantalizing hidden secrets! This level will be released on November 12th, 2021, at 12:00AM GMT. I would like to thank Vegetal Gibber for co-sponsoring this contest, providing this exceptional level as the competition setting.

Level is now live! Get it here: https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7297.0


This contest has three separate categories, to appeal to any player. This means there will be at least THREE unique winners! You don't need a screen capture program to participate, you don't need to be the fastest player, in fact you don't need to necessarily even complete the level at all! Contest period will be from November 12th, 2021 12:00AM GMT to January 12th, 2022 12:00AM. Players may participate in every category, but can only receive one award. EDIT: Submissions are now closed.

Category 1: Non-traditional SpeedRun of Ruins of EGA -Lana Hard mode. Post or stream a speedrun video of Ruins of EGA-Lana Hard mode and link it in this thread, on the Official Nifflas Discord, on the Don Doli Discord, or PM me in some other fashion. Wallswims and OOBs are allowed, though cheating is not. The fastest time wins. Time will be scored from the moment the player enters the Hard area to the moment they re-enter the menu screen reach the credits. Each artifact collected will be counted as -10s. Prize is a $15 Steam Gift Card!*

Current Speedruns are being informally tracked here: http://www.ksruns.com/level/lana

Category 2: Completionist run of Ruins of EGA-Lana Lunatic mode. Post or stream a video completing Ruins of EGA-Lana Lunatic mode AND collecting all artifacts, and link it in this thread, on the Official Nifflas Discord, on the Don Doli Discord, or PM me in some other fashion. No wallswims, OOBs, or cheats allowed. The First player to upload or stream a complete run video wins! Prize is a $15 Steam Gift Card!*

Category 3: Creative run of Ruins of EGA-Lana. Post to this thread or Nifflas Discord a unique and creative "playthrough" of Ruins of EGA-Lana, any mode, including Easy. It does not have to be a complete playthrough, and can involve as many or as few screens as you wish. (e.g. a video narrating Juni's EGA-Lana adventure; a slideshow storybook of EGA-Lana; a crayon picture of Juni in EGA-Lana). EDIT: In lieu of holding a vote, VG and I will be judging the entries ourselves. The winner will get a $15 Steam Gift Card!*

BONUS: ANY player who completes True Lunatic mode (not to be confused with regular Lunatic mode) with no exploits, cheats, or glitches, and posts a video of it during the contest period will receive a $10 Steam gift card* AND be added to the Hall of Fame; Vegetal Gibber will add their name, a brief quote, and a unique statue to the FINAL release of the level! Players CAN absolutely win the bonus prize in addition to any other contest!

The Official Winners for all contests have been announced here: https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=7296.msg75854#msg75854

--FAQ--

Q: Does True Lunatic Mode have to be completed in one sitting to be eligible for prizes?
A: No, this can be completed across multiple sittings. However, the entire playthrough must be streamed, or recorded and spliced as one playthrough video. Any evidence of video tampering, cheat use, cheat-saving, save file editing, or level editing, may result in disqualification from all skill-based contests.

Q: Can I use the level editor to view Ruins of EGA-Lana for practice and strategy purposes?
A: Yes, you may, however, please do so off-camera, or in dedicated practice and analysis videos. Any evidence of level editing or tampering in a submitted run, even purely aesthetic or accidental level changes, may result in disqualification from all skill-based contests.

Q: Can I view other runs in order to strategize and optimize my own?
A: Yes, absolutely! The purpose of this contest is to foster growth in the KS community, so we not only allow but encourage sharing runs, watching other streams, and discussing strategies.

Feel free to post any questions below, and good luck!

Fine print:
- *Or a comparable prize of the winner's choice, subject to complete discretion by pfrangip. Steam gift cards have a three day waiting period.
- Amounts in US dollars. I have no idea how many kronenbergs that is.
- In the event of winners in multiple categories, or ties, prizes will be awarded according to the sole discretion of pfrangip.
- VG and pfrangip may compete for sport, but they are ineligible from receiving any prizes. I really would love to see VG beat True Lunatic mode.
- The level was released 1 hour earlier than originally planned. If anyone feels like the one hour early posting has adversely impacted their ability to compete in Category 2, please compete as normal, PM me, and I will review cases as necessary.

Solid level! I think even those who don't know DonDoli or his jokes will still find it quite enjoyable.

Hello!

Thank you so much for your continued support of KS+!

My experience so far with the V-Sync was great, and I managed to get some smoooooth looking gameplay after following your instuctions. I just want to make sure I'm doing everything right to get the most out of the experience.

  • Set the monitor refresh rate to 50hz using Windows Display Settings
  • Launch "Knytt Stories Plus 1080.exe"
  • Using CTRL-Z, I zoom in to make the screen as large as possible.
  • Under Options, Set "V-Sync" to checked.
  • Use Alt-Enter to enter full-screen mode.*

*Note that I did NOT use CTRL-X to enter "Cinema Mode." It seemed marginally better performance to use Alt-Enter, but that might be my imagination. There seemed to be no aspect ratio display differences, unlike in KS and KS Plus "original" executables, which both have that visible analog-like distortion when using Alt-Enter.
