In this video, we review Wind-up Knight for Android. It’s a fun, action-packed running platformer with excellent gameplay. Your character basically auto-runs while you jump, attack, duck and block using on-screen buttons. You can find the demo in the Android Market, and if you like it, you can purchase additional levels for a few dollars. For those who want to earn free playing time, you can perform tasks through TapJoy. Check out our review of Wind-up Knight above.
Features: – Over 50 soul-crushing levels. – Pick-up-and-play game play. – Super high-end 3D graphics technology. A showcase for your phone. – Crazy platforming action: double jumping, wall sliding, dive and roll, just to name a few cool moves. – A secret card is hidden in EVERY level. – Four unique worlds. – Deviously cute art style. – Power up with game-changing equipment and weapons. – Original soundtrack by Josh Whelchel.
If you’ve got an Android phone that’s at least as powerful as the Nexus One/HTC Desire, and if you’re reading this, odds are excellent that you do, you owe it to yourself to check out Wind-Up Knight. It’s a classic sidescrolling platformer with up-to-date 3G graphics and a sense of humor to boot. It’s a free download in the Android Market.
You are a pint-sized paladin, sent to rescue the king’s daughter who has been kidnapped. Kidnap victim seems to be the primary occupation of princesses in video games, doesn’t it? The kind is quite anxious to get his daughter back – he warns you in his parchment email (“FWD: OMG PR1NC355 GET!”) that it will be on your quarterly review. An ad at the bottom that you can “get your own free hosting at GeoCastles” had me chuckling even before the first level started.
Check out some footage of an early version below:
Gameplay is a lot like the popular Wii and PC downloadable title Bit Trip Runner, in that your clockwork character runs without any direction. The player jumps or slashes via on-screen buttons, avoiding falls and spikes while constantly running through monsters. Graphics are impressive, even if the 2D gameplay is pretty simple – a perfect game for showing off your tablet to family members who might not appreciate more advanced controls. The first chapter of the game can be downloaded for free, with additional chapters available for a reasonable .99.
