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.

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:
http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-vita/knytt-underground

Not a review but user impressions, on GameSpot:

GameFaqs users discuss KU's length and replay value:

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.

Here's 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 is a review of Proteus by the same guy (it's soooo funny).

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).

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.)
