Knights of the Road

About

Knights of the Road is a side-scrolling platformer built around nimble movement and hidden pathways. You leap, flip, and climb through handcrafted levels designed to reward precise timing and curiosity. Each stage feels like a puzzle where shortcuts and collectibles lie buried in pixel-perfect details. The controls prioritize fluidity over complexity, letting you chain acrobats into seamless sequences without overloading the menu. The game’s retro charm comes from its deliberate pacing and minimalist design. While it lacks modern frills, its 8-bit aesthetic and tight level design have already earned praise from early access players, with 89% of testers on Steam calling it "a refreshing throwback." What sets it apart isn’t just nostalgia but execution, every jump feels weighty, every secret earned. It’s a love letter to late-80s platforming that knows when to stay simple.
