The Ruins of EGA-Lana is a small KS+ challenge level heavily inspired by the famous freeware game
La-Mulana (except this one is made with an old-school DOS PC game look, very much like my previous level The Dithered Temple, rather than mimicking the aesthetics of a MSX game). It features bonus collectible artifacts, hidden secrets, challenges involving several KS+'s exclusive mechanics and a total of three (?) difficulty modes:
Easy, Hard and
Lunatic.
Despite being a very short adventure, this level was designed to have a rather high replay value by means of providing players with a different experience in each of the mentioned modes beyond the expected differences in the overall difficulty. For example,
Easy mode is more of a mix of platforming and simple puzzles, whereas
Lunatic mode is almost exclusively focused on the challenge aspect even with regards to the collectibles. Be sure to give each mode a try! (well, at least a couple of them... I understand Lunatic is not exactly everyone's cup of tea

)
And, for those of you who are always looking for a bigger challenge... you're in luck! This level is also the setting for the first ever
Play Knytt Stories contest, which is being graciously hosted by
pfrangip and officially starts today!
