"Climb Knight Update: New Minigames Added This Month"

If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their games are always worth a look. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest release, Climb Knight, AppSir consistently delivers distinct indie fun that hits the right spot. And Climb Knight is no exception to this trend!

You might be wondering, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a fairly positive review. Interestingly, the team at AppSir was genuinely surprised by the reception Climb Knight received. In celebration, they've announced a major new update set to launch on February 25th, and the best part? It's completely free!

So, what can you expect from this update? You'll get to enjoy three new one-bit minigames and a mysterious new advisor character inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's history of spooky releases, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than meets the eye.

Climbing upAppSir proves that a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and become popular on mobile platforms. While I wouldn't label them as the 'New Blood' of smartphones, they share similarities with the excellent Faith trilogy, especially in the spooky, retro aesthetic of their back catalog.

If you're curious about our thoughts on Spooky Pixel Hero, it's another excellent release well worth your time. To learn more about what developer Darius had to say regarding the reception of Climb Knight, check out his latest blog post.
