The characters also cycle around through the game. You'll soon come to know your favourites, and the ones you hate. Some are close range weapons, some are long range direct fire weapons, while others are bomb layers. These characters all have a different comical look, and have different attacks. When you gather enough muffins, you'll unlock new characters to play. However many you can collect represents the score for that game, but the real beauty in Muffin Knight is in the levelling up and experience that you gain to improve your merry band of heroes. The aim of the game is to collect muffins that drop into each level. It's not as awkward as it sounds, although with no tactile feedback my first few games saw a lot of jumping and firing at completely the wrong time. It's also very quick to start a new game.Ĭontrols are on-screen virtual buttons, with left and right 'hotspot' buttons under your left thumb and the jump/fire combination under your right thumb. It does not take long to die in a level, but you do feel that even lasting 45 seconds is a worthy achievement. The other half of the battle is, well, the battle, and getting into a safe-ish position so you can attack the enemy.īecause of the small levels, the small screens, and the fast gameplay, Muffin Knight is a brilliant piece of pick up and play gaming. You have a a small area to move around in (maybe a screen or two in width or height), and half the battle is simply moving around without dying - either through falling into pits of fire, or touching the enemy.

Can you manage that, rescue your one true love, and level up to be a better hero? You can in Muffin Knight.īilled as a platform game, Muffin Knight is closer in spirit to the arcade action game Joust. All you are compelled to do is capture muffins. In Angry Mob Games' latest title you are none of these.
