Friendly tip: try to use R key as often as possible to make it more fun :) ____________
Very unconventional name of the game, isn't it?
You are knight, fighting against kingdom enemies - dark knights. Your main power is to reset objects positions to theirs original positions, do that with R key.
Additionally, you can place flags and travel to them almost instantly through anything (place flag with F key and travel to the flag with Q key).
To fight dark knights you have to shoot them, place bomb nearby or just hit them hard with some object.
Good luck in defending the kingdom!
Instructions: Arrows or WASD to move/jump. Right mouse button - change your allies movement direction. Left mouse button - shoot. Q - travel to your flag. F - place flag. R - reset objects position. G - place bomb.
@Malsanity, that's true, but player can fix it easily with R key. Of course player should play the game instead of fixing it, but hey, it's Ludum Dare (you get to see everything in here) :)
Cute wee game, was a bit hard to get around initially. I blew myself up and just kept falling then teleporting back to the flag and falling again because the ground was gone :p Fun though, well done!
It's okay but a bit samey as you progress. Would have been nice to see more emphasis on using the scenery to kill enemies, though I crushed a few under blocks I was disappointed to not get an angry birds moment when I toppled the tower.

Hi, I’ve just played through your latest entry, Very Unconventional Knight, and I love it. I’ve been considering doing a LD for a while, but I’m not secure enough with a language yet. I’ve learnt GameMaker: Studio, and used Eclipse when coding in the past, put I didn’t like those for a project that you have so little time to use.
Right now I’m using/learning Unity 5, and I wanted to know if I could use your LD32, VUK, and extend it into a complete game. I love the concept and mechanics of the game and I would like to be able to make this into a full complete game, obviously giving alot of credit to you.
Please let me know what you think to this. Thanks.
Unfortunately, the mechanics are very clunky. The jumping & walking feels really awkward and lacks any dynamic. Shooting is essentially just constant spamming. And restoring objects positions feels like a player that fixes the game instead of the game developer. Also, I'm not sure what's the purpose of allies.
Nice little platformer. I love the graphics and music and of course the physics :) I found myself just shooting the enemies most of the time since it was easier than to use the terrain. Would have loved to see this concept taken further. Also the button mapping was a little awkward but alright after a little getting used to. All in all great game which could need some more work in focusing on it's strong and unique parts
