Hey there.


For several reasons I'm not able to knytt anymore and my level 'Bitter Liver' has been unfinished for many months. I just thought of it, played through it again, and realised that it will never get finished. I just don't have the time anymore and I'm busy with many other things.

But since I did work quite hard on it for a while, I decided to release what I got. So unfortunately it will just end abruptly. Some of you might know the part at the end. I already released that as part of a leveling competition at some point. It was called 'Melanchoholia'.

Some people didn't like how the path wasn't always clear. If you are one of those then be warned, because there's more of that here  . Keep in mind that this is quite an abstract level, consisting of several sections.  The objective always is to find the grammophone to reach or unlock the door, which leads to the next section. Also there are some placeholder graphics. I never quite figured out how to make them better  .

Sound is very important. The story is told without words. Also there's some World War I era music. No copyright needed  .



Take a look at the screenshots from the preview thread.

                                                         
                                     Get it here.

I thought it was quite nice. I like the whole aesthetic with the pipes and the blue and the red, especially when you walk behind the pipes (which I could never figure out how to do myself ). At first I thought the whole spike area would be really annoying, but it turned out to be just hard enough.

Good level. I would have liked for it to be longer. 

Okaaay, so after I declared in the preview thread for Bitter Liver that I wouldn't enter the current level competition, I've decided to anyway.
It's one sequence of the bigger level and I thought it would work quite well on its own, even though it isn't very big.

It's like a preview, but it is a level in itself. 

Grab it.

That tileset is really cool. You really should build a bigger level with this 

Originally this level was going to be for the current level competition. I'm not so sure anymore if it will fit. Maybe it will. Maybe it won't.  

Basically this level will be like a dream world or a distant memory.  It will consist of several segments. The story is told through cutscenes and sounds which is why the music is very important.

There will be something like a maze and puzzles, though I don't think this level can be classified as either.

It will be mostly in black and white.

Have you played this before you uploaded it? The way it is right now is unplayable.

Right from the start there's a cutscene, but when it ends, it puts you right back to the start. I cheated to get further, and then I jumped to the platforms in the second screen, which brought me to the end.

There are so many enemies everywhere. Everything is all over the place.

Could not finish. 

You have to get to the platform above you. Just look around a little and you will find how to get up there. Then you can umbrella jump to the platform with the high jump on it 

I love this theme so I'm going to participate in this for the first time 

Editing for one quick question: Is it okay if it is neither challenge nor puzzle? I think what I'm planning will be categorized as miscellaneous.
