BuKnight: The Order of the Golden Crest

About

BuKnight is a fast action-platformer built around momentum and timing. You play as Bonnie, a knight navigating levels filled with foxes and wolves while retrieving fragments of a magical crest. The combat revolves around verticality using up-and-downsmash strikes and a spinning dodge that lets you reposition quickly. Levels blend tight platforming with boss battles requiring precise pattern recognition. The game leans heavily into retro influences with pixel art that feels fresh but familiar. Community playtests highlight the satisfying weight of attacks and how enemies scale in difficulty without becoming frustrating. While short, the campaign offers enough variety in terrain and combat to keep it engaging. The Syreth Clan’s design focuses on pure platforming fun over complicated mechanics.

Storyline

Carrottia is under siege! Foxes are trying to take over and steal the town's sacred treasure: the centerpiece of The Golden Crest. Worse yet, they seem to work for the ferocious wolves. Your quest as Bonnie is to find the remaining pieces of the Golden Crest and repel the invading forces once and for all — but this mission won't be easy; the parts are all deep into the territory of the fox tribes and they're not going to just hand it over either.
