[Knight Run 2]

Wow.. Over a year since I've reviewed a game. Seems like forever ago lol.
Art: 4.0 Basic style, but it fits the game and each object and character fit together. The art feels like it belongs in the game, which is a good thing. The only thing that bothers me, for some reason, is the break between the grass and the sky. Just feels unnatural.

Sound: 4.5 Like the art, it feels right in this game. My only issue with it is a personal one: I prefer to have a choice of at least two tracks. But the sounds from the characters were good as well.

Controls: 5 Simple, but responsive. That's all anyone can ask.

Story: N/A You're a knight who runs. What's there to not understand? Lol, but a backstory would be nice.

Gameplay: 3 Don't get me wrong, i have no problem with the gameplay itself, there are just a few kinks needed to be worked out. The shield didn't really block as well as I'd hoped. The sword really wasn't even necessary because you could just outrun almost everyone in the game even before you upgrade your speed. The level system was nice, although it took awhile before I noticed real improvements. Plus, I really don't think I used the jump once.

Overall: 4

I would recommend adding maybe one or two more tracks to choose from, maybe an upgrade shop for armor and weapons, some obstacles you have to jump over (like a small barricade), and perhaps bosses that you can't run past. Good luck man. Keep it up.

Thanks for the review!

I can see what you mean with the break between the grass and sky. I'll attempt to fix that up.
I'll also try to find another gameplay track that the game will switch between, instead of one song looping over and over like it is at the moment.

I'm implementing a feature in the next version that prevents you from moving on until all enemies are cleared, along with more attacks and skills. About jumping: it isn't the most useful thing but there isn't much I can do to improve it. Although, I may add an attack involving it.

And for obstacles, I'm also currently working on adding them! And for bosses, like I said in a previous response to a review, I'm going to see if I can implement some mini-bosses every now and then that'll give you a nice bonus once defeated.
