if this game gets a multiplayer mode i will personally come kiss the developer on the mouth

Shady Knight is a game I _wish_ I made. It unapologetically leans into "finding the fun". It has an economy of design whereby every affordance of every game mechanic is well explored and polished. In other words, that crazy, over the top sequence of tricks you're thinking about doing? You can probably do it.

I can't count the number of times I've had to catch my breath in this game. When time slowed down after my first bouncepad jump with the bow, I had to stop playing for a second because of how good it felt.

If you love movement shooters, this is an obvious buy. If you loved Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, and played it multiple times because you were enjoying it so much, this is like a distilled version of that one's already excellent combat. If you are interested in game design, and want to see how much play you can create with only a few verbs, this is also for you. If you're a skeptic about first person melee mechanics, this will show you how you do it right - not by trying to simulate close quarter combat strictly and accurately, but by painting an expressionistic fever dream of a mid-fight adrenaline high.

Arcady, tricky, high skill ceiling, great for speed runners and style kings. This game makes you feel alive.

Possibly the greatest first person movement I have ever experienced <3 The amount of attention to small details is insane, it's suuuuper worth the price!!
