Knightly Knight is a simple arcade score game, you are the Knight (Blue square), and You must Find, Obey and protect the Princess (Pink Square).
The princess during the gameplay have some needs, like drink, eat or sleep, so, when You find Her you'll be ordered to take her to the right place to fulfill her request, while protecting her from the bad guys.
As for the theme of the LD, instead of going to a minimalistic graphic style, I've choose to rationalize the game design, creating a small ruleset for the entire game.
The game, indeed, consists in only 4 simple rules:
1- Find the Princess
2- Obey the Princess's orders
3- Fight the bad guys
4- Game Over take place only when Princess or Knight life is 0
If you find that the game window is too small, you can right click on it and select FullScreen or adjust the zoom level in your browser. Windows, Linux and OSX version have a toggle fullscreen key (alt+enter)##
Controls (Windows, Linux, OSX)
Arrow Keys -> Move the Knight
Z -> Attack
X -> Call the Princess, only when she's close the Knight
ALT+ENTER -> Toggle Full Screen
Controls (Androdi)
DPAD -> Move the Knight
A -> Attack
B -> Call the Princess, only when she's close the Knight
Toolset used for the game
Engine: Unity3d
2D Graphics: mspaint, gimp 2.8
Sound: sfxr
The game is tested and guaranteed to run on Windows, altrought Linux & OSX versions are provided (but not tested).
Android version requires a smartphone mounting at least Android 2.0, an armv7 cpu and a decent Screen Resolution (like 800x480)
Cute little game. Though the small window hurt my eyes a bit. :( I liked the gameplay and how I could send the enemies flying as I hit them! :D

That is a good little game. I like the knives, how he moves and the princess who is moving like a snail. The fight are good too. But the windows are very too small for my eyes. Though, i like it because we must be aleready careful of possible attacks. Good Game !!
Controls are a bit slow, but the mechanics of fighting/hit back, and the princess following are good. Wasn't clear what range I had to be in to use the the call princess feature. Standard screen was really small.
I like it. It feels a bit like a reverse Pikmin - you are helping the person following you, instead of the persons following you are helping you. I think the game suffers a bit from the slow speed of the princess. If it's the point to be annoyed by her - well done :D But her speed just bore me.
@xgeovanni I don't know why it isn't working, even my previous entry for the LD25 had this issue for some users, and I don't know what caused it :/. You could try to reload the page or maybe you can use another browser, or even download one of the standalone version (win, linux or mac)
I enjoy the idea of thoughtless royalty thinking only of themselves through hostility. It was amusing. Kinda slow-paced though, and it's hard to figure out where the princess is initially.
I liked it! Most of my comments would follow the others. However, there're a few graphics issues I'd like to bring up: The princess's speech bubble can cover up the knight, making it difficult to tell which way he's facing; the ground seems to spasm when you're turning in a circle (Changes texture, sometimes a seam appears).
Nice little game, bigger view would of been better. Was fun :)

Nice take on the theme, but the princess is awfully slow. Sadly, it doesn't look very good in fullscreen, maybe because of the aspect ratio of 16:9 on my screen...
Neat game. It took me a while to find the princes, and I might have killed her while trying to fight off a swarm of thugs. Pretty cool, but would be nice with some indication of where to go, and the walking feels too slow. Fun concept, and nice visuals.

As a temporary work-around You can zoom the web-page, or right click on the game window and select full-screen.
Windows build have the toggle fullscreen options with pressing ALT+ENTER (Linux & Mac should have too, but I haven't tested them)

But overall: good job :)
