Have you spotted any mention or reviews of Knytt Underground? Post about it here in this topic. :)
Jayis Games have posted a great review, which can be read here: http://jayisgames.com/archives/2012/12/knytt_underground.php

I didn't think of this before I got the game out, but it was a bit of a weird date for a release like this. Most of the press is on xmas vacation right now. Hopefully they'll pick up on the release when they're back.
Feel free to help me get the word out about the game. If there are gaming blogs or websites that you follow please send them a tip on Knytt Underground. Also, tell me what websites you think I should contact and give review copies to.

I've posted my list in http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5709.0 (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=5709.0) before, but I've added a note there.
And here are 2 lists by PixelProspector:

Yeah, that's a great review; John doesn't disappoint. :)
Here is another recent one: http://gameblinx.com/knytt-underground-review/
It's quite detailed and has some good points, but their statements about the storyline make me wonder whether their playthrough was more like a 'romp-through'. X)
Another thing to keep an eye on is KU's Metacritic entry:

Not a review but user impressions, on GameSpot:

It seems to me that he played the game, but didn't like it that much (which can happen) and thus aborted prematurely as it all being the same. He doesn't even discuss any secrets which I think he didn't find any.

I've sent review codes to every page I could find at http://youtubers.pixelprospector.com/ - today I'll send review codes to everybody at http://press.pixelprospector.com/
It's much appreciated that you linked me to this! It's a great resource.

Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAO-cK_QPxU) an absolutely wonderful review of the game. I want this guy to voice act every character in all of my future games. Oh, and completely unrelated to Knytt Underground, but here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw4bVQm6KX4) is a review of Proteus by the same guy (it's soooo funny).

Op key to clarmber :D

Found a couple more interesting ones.
Joystiq:
http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/09/snapshot-knytt-underground/
Official KU page (by the publisher):
http://www.knyttunderground.com
Cool character animations and three really nice wallpapers here.
gamer.nl (Dutch):
http://www.gamer.nl/review/408287/knytt-underground
This review is a bit weird, especially for a European one. It's okay on the objective part, but the reviewer took exception to the foul language and he didn't quite get what the narrative was about.
And here is an interesting read from gaming-age:
http://www.gaming-age.com/2013/01/knytt-underground-review-for-ps-vita-psn/
KU is currently at 7.4 on Metacritic (linked earlier).
-
An interview, about religion and uncertainty:

-
This was pretty interesting - great find, GrayFace! :)
I'm thinking perhaps some of this info was meant to be seen as in-game commentaries as well. If you check the KU directories, you'll find a Commentary.ini file in the Dialog folder, with three blank topics: God, Dying and Hannah.)

Hey guys, here's Elder-Geek.com's video review for Knytt Underground. It's very flattering :D Hope you like it.

Tomorrow Nifflas will talk about "the secrets and funny anecdotes" of developing Knytt Underground:
http://nordicgamejam.org/2013/01/15/nicklas-gives-the-whole-story-of-developing-knytt-underground/ (http://nordicgamejam.org/2013/01/15/nicklas-gives-the-whole-story-of-developing-knytt-underground/).
-
Will I? X)
The best part is that I had not decide on a topic before the info was supposed to go up on the website, so Tim Garbos just picked something for me and told me what the topic was. We'll see how it goes :D
-
This was pretty interesting - great find, GrayFace! :)
I simply stole it from Nifflas' twitter.

And so it turns out that Dr Cliché is none other than Nifflas himself...

Not quite news, but KU is the poster child for the Anaconda runtime environment (http://mp2.dk/anaconda/) it uses.
-
I suppose this is not really being in the news, but its an awesome commentary on the game. I love their reactions in discovering Knytt Underground.
Warning: video has a duration of 1 hour! But its well worth it.
