Hi all. Since I'm always late to every video game party, I didn't play the Knytt or Knytt Underground until the mid-2010s or so, but like many of you I fell in love with Nifflas's beautiful art, relaxed approach to gameplay, and endlessly tantalizing pick-a-direction-and-go exploration. I didn't check out Knytt Stories until this last weekend, because to be honest I figured the level editor didn't catch on--Knytt is after all a relatively obscure indie game, right? But I'm very excited to see how wrong I was, and even more excited to see the community is still alive and releasing levels.
As is expected there's a healthy variety of levels out there, but personally, I'm mainly looking for levels in the vein of the Nifflas levels like A Strange Dream, or the other Knytt games: big and nonlinear, free-roaming exploration, diverse environments, etc. About the same level of challenge would be good too: if you know of harder levels that meet these criteria, feel free to post them as long as they aren't kill-you-on-every screen "masocore" stuff (I'm very bad at platformers, by the way). Similarly, I am not necessarily looking for "playground" levels with no goal at all (I like to have a motivation to explore, even if it's as simple as collect X number of objects) but if you know of any particularly interesting ones, let me know.
Before you ask, I have looked through this forum already and it seems there's been two threads covering similar ground:
https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=2807.0https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=2886.0These threads have good leads but the thing is they're from ten years ago, so I'm in need of leads for levels that have been released since that time. If you know of any older ones that aren't mentioned in those threads, though, do mention them.
Thanks for your time! If I didn't have an unfinished Quake level taunting me from my hard drive I'd open the Knytt editor myself right away, but I'll have to wait for the time being.
