"Climb Knight Update: New Minigames Added This Month"

If there's anything you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their releases always deliver a unique and engaging experience. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest one-bit platformer Climb Knight, AppSir consistently hits the mark for indie gaming enthusiasts.

You might be thinking, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a positive review. Interestingly, the team at AppSir was pleasantly surprised by the warm reception Climb Knight received. To celebrate, they're rolling out a major update on February 25th, and the best part? It's completely free!

What can you expect from this update? Three new one-bit minigames and the introduction of an enigmatic advisor character, inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's track record with spooky and mysterious elements, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than initially meets the eye.

Climbing up

AppSir exemplifies how a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and thrive on mobile platforms. While I wouldn't label them as the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the eerie, retro aesthetic of the acclaimed Faith trilogy.

For those interested in more from AppSir, our review of Spooky Pixel Hero is well worth a read (spoiler alert: it's another excellent release). If you're curious about what the developer Darius had to say regarding the reception of Climb Knight, check out his latest blog post.
