“But wait,” you say! What’s this “Knight & Damsel” thing? Here’s a précis!
Knight & Damsel is a two-player “uncooperative” multiplayer game set on a papercraft stage that subverts the age-old tale of knights saving damsels, with the knight and damsel competing to rescue the other! In Knight & Damsel, players attempt to delay their opponent so their chosen hero can receive the most glory by getting the furthest through the stage. They do this by throwing blocks on to their opponents screen, warping the fourth wall between 2D screen and world space. Blocks have the ability to delay or knock back their opponent, with snow avalanches to pursuing ghosts at hand to ensure you can get the lead in the race. Compete as Knight and Damsel across four stages in the campaign mode, or simply kick back and enjoy the full selection of blocks via the arcade mode. Knight & Damsel offers a competitive twist on the Damsel in Distress trope, fun for all ages. Knight & Damsel will be $9.99 / £6.99 / €9.99 but with a 20% launch discount for the first two weeks taking the price down to $7.99 / £5.59 / €7.99. The game will not be discounted again this year.

- A full arcade mode in which players can choose their settings and use any combination of blocks.
Knight & Damsel is a special project for us, being first developed as a quick jam game for the Toronto Games Jam 2013 with the help of some Capy developers, and eventually going forward with full development because… I don’t know, it just felt like a good idea. Since then we’ve had our ups-and-downs, the game has changed a great deal as we scaled up, scaled down, and then scaled, uh, around, but in the process we’ve been able to show the game as part of things like IndieCade’s eSports Showcase and at the IndieMegaBooth at BitSummit, which has been fantastic. We see Knight & Damsel as a competitive twist on the Damsel in Distress trope, fun for all ages, and we hope you like it.
