"Climb Knight Update: New Minigames Added This Month"

If there's one thing you can say about the mobile developer AppSir, it's that their releases are always intriguing and well worth exploring. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their other quirky titles, AppSir consistently delivers distinct indie fun that resonates with players. And their latest game, Climb Knight, is no exception!

You might be thinking, "Wait, didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Yes, we did, and we gave it a fairly positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In response, they've announced a major update set to launch on February 25th, and it's coming completely free!

So, what can you expect from this update? How about three new one-bit minigames and an intriguing new advisor character inspired by Apple Newton shareware? Given AppSir's track record with spooky releases, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than meets the eye.

Climbing up

AppSir proves that you can be a dedicated indie developer who breaks the mold and still find success on mobile platforms. While I wouldn't label them as the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the excellent Faith trilogy, particularly in the spooky, retro aesthetic of their back catalog.

If you're curious about what we thought of Spooky Pixel Hero, check out our review (spoiler alert: it's another excellent release worth playing). For more insights into what AppSir's developer, Darius, had to say about the reception to Climb Knight, take a look at his latest blog post.
