Have you ever seen this fake ad for a mobile game? You know, the one with a small knight in his tower, and you have to kill monsters from other towers.\n“Number Knight” is a full complete game based on this fake ad!
\nKill monsters and absorb their power to become more and more powerful!\nBut beware, you’ll soon discover fire, water or plant monsters, and your attacks will have to be a little more tactical…
\nEven if it’s optimized for desktop, the game should be playable on tablets and smartphones.\nBut have in mind the experience is a bit degraded on small screens!
\nEven if you can share your own levels via the editor, you can also save them on Pinata cloud (you DON’T need an account on Pinata to use this feature).\nOn this external (out of the zip) page, you can set a private (and free) “Number Knight” key to save and access all your custom levels.
\n/!\\ Because of some limitation with Pinata cloud API (it’s quite slow), your level list may not be up to date. It can take some minutes to refresh correctly. /!\\
\nIn bonus, a specific URL is generated for you: everyone clicking on YOUR dedicated link will be redirected to the main game, but instead of playing the base levels they will play all YOUR levels!
\nMost assets are based on Kenney job (https://www.kenney.nl/assets), edited by myself.\nExcept towers, made by BlackSpire Studio (https://blackspirestudio.itch.io/medieval-pixel-art-asset-free)

\n\nThanks for your interest in this game, and happy playing :)

\nI wish there was an in-game legend or key that could remind me of the various strength/weakness relationships and enemy specifics (skeletons, etc). The mechanics made it interesting and more fun but it was a lot of information to remember.

\nFeedback:
\nI got stuck. I’m not sure if I just didn’t understand the skeleton mechanic, but no matter what sequence I attempted (of all 6 permutations) I always landed at a power of 10, which left me dead no matter which of the second tower block I attempted to take on. Perhaps I missed the correct sequence, but again, I may just not be getting how the skeleton mechanic works when in conjunction with the elements.

I noticed that there seems to be some but is extremely quite for some reason. Normally I tend to play longer on games with a nice background music sometimes even unknowingly.

\nThe idea is great and the ability to design your own levels? Just wow! The only thing I didn’t like too much was the background music (compared to the rest of the game). But as there was a mute button that is fine (:

The game is highly challenging, but it also provides a great sense of achievement when completed. The rules are simple but it becomes more and more challenging when all elements combined. Excellent game design! Furthermore, the level based tutorial is great. Well done!
\nThe only suggestion is the game could add a level restart button.

I like the tactical/puzzle aspect of it, even if I did get stumped a ways in. The music seems very random (and there’s a weird click at the start/end of every note?), but the other sound effects work well. I was missing a restart/choose level button, as I forgot a few times the order of what elements win over what other elements.
\nI kept getting stuck as I was writing this review! I like the amount of elements you have included as the levels go on… unfortunately I was unable to make it past level 29. Couldn’t figure out the correct sequence on the last set.
\nOverall well done!

I like how you interpreted the theme, because it’s very fitting. The rock paper scissors mechanic makes the game more interesting, and you have to think more carefully. Taking over the power of the enemy you kill is cool, and limiting the power to work only once is a great twist, you really have to think carefully to win the difficult puzzles.\nThe graphics and animations are well made. Everything fit well together.
\nI wish the music had more variation, but sound effects worked well. Great entry overall.
