Help the King control his rapidly growing kingdom in Secret Knight, my first Ludum Dare game.



The King demands that you, Secret Knight, must silently assassinate his people so they do not overthrow him. However, try to do it in secret! If there are at least 10 witnesses, the King will have to execute you! The King will also execute you if you slaughter too many Villagers, or if you let too many live...

The Controls are:


* WASD to move

* Space to jump

* Mouseclick to attack

* Left Shift to run

* E to build a wall (Great for blocking sight of Villagers!)

* Escape to pause

You will be executed if:


* There are 10 or more Witnesses,

* The town's population is below the King's Minimum

* The town's population is above the King's Maximum

Secret Knight is best played without knowing too much about it, so the rest is up to you to discover! How large will your town grow in population, and will you run out of space?

My record for final kill count is 145! Why not share yours in the comments?

Tips for those who struggle:


(!!! DON'T READ IF YOU LIKE DISCOVERING GAME MECHANICS YOURSELF !!!)

* You can destroy village houses too! Just hit them 3 times. This will help slow down the population growth.

* Villagers can't become witnesses if they can't see you... Build walls with "e" to kill undetected!
