It takes a moment to get into the rythmn of the game, but I entered a sort of trance state once I did XD
I managed to get to the King at the top (loved him cowering) but my knight who got there didn't go over to him. Was I meant to do something extra at that point?
Either way, a really fun game. The animations are brilliant, decent challenge, and a great idea. The only thing that would quickly improve it really is some more impact with sfx. It'd be great if, for example, there was wind that built up when you got close to the top to add to the sense of how far you've climbed.
