Good Knight - One-Button Bullet-Hell

[h1] Hidden Gem of a Puzzle-Hell [/h1] I'm both totally surprised and not surprised at all that I loved this game, such a unique concept It's might look incredibly imposing and has a potentially very large difficulty curve... but once you get into the groove of things it's a wonderfully beautiful game with a simple premise and a crazy good OST. It feels very reminiscent of the arcades, and on top of it has loads of mod friendly capabilities. It also contains some really interesting twists with specific unlockable game modes. Of course this is still early access at the time of writing, but it's shockingly good for early access and I definitely hope this gets more notice in the community! Plus plenty of helpful or hilarious "life advice" quotes to help you on your way to mastery. For me personally? I'm taking specifically life advice #0135... [h2] Recommended! [/h2]

This is a very interesting game. As it says on the store page, don't be intimidated by its difficulty. It's a very hard game, but every pattern is a new checkpoint, so you are usually only 15-30 seconds or so away from the next pattern. The best way I can describe this game is basically kind of like Super Hexagon but amped way the hell up. The game telegraphs bullet patterns, and you need to avoid them. In most patterns there is a circular wall in the middle of the arena that you run around, and it blocks bullets. So a dominant strategy is to anticipate where the bullets are coming from, and run to the other side of the circular wall to block them. Later in the game this doesn't work so well because it takes away the middle wall a lot. But you learn to adapt. The game to me is a piece of art. It has a story, but I don't understand it and don't care, but the gameplay is very much a flow-state. When you're in the zone you feel like a god. The music is also incredible, it's some fusion of power metal and classical with Touhou influences. Also reminds me a lot of the Ys series of games. I like the graphics style, but it's not a particularly good looking game to the average person. I will say though the bullet patterns are where the game shines in its presentation, and the performance for how much crap is going on in the screen is pretty scarily good. Overall it's a really interesting game that is seemingly unfortunately abandoned. Lots of promised features never came, but the game has enough gameplay for the price if you get it on a good sale. About 4 hours or so if you are not grinding S ranks. I bought the game in I think 2020, and only just played it again recently from digging through my backlog, and just finished it today. High recommend if you like bullet hell, it's more of a puzzle game and twitch reaction game than true bullet hell though. Play without Slow Motion for the best experience, it's just a crutch and it's more fun without it.

The fact that this game is not more popular is a crime. A truly hidden, underrated, gem of a game. It reminds those classic arcade games which had a nice idea and developed it flawlessly. It's in EA but it's just because it is supposed to add some more content, but from what I can see it's not really necessary to enjoy the game, which is very much a finished product in regard to its core offering. Also don't get fooled by the videos which make it seems harder than it is. It is certainly a very challenging game, but I'd say that the "pain kink" mode can be enjoyed by most people without any frustration. It has a nice flow when you play it and the music is fantastic. An amazing achievement by what I understand is a tiny Filipino developing studio. Great work please keep it going! Try featuring it in a Steam Fest with just the first 2 or 3 levels of pain kink mode and I reckon you have a good chance of increasing its popularity as it deserves.

Great, entertaining, addicting, funny, and charming game! Absolutely love this game! The soundtrack is awesome, it's got a lot of charm and the themeing is great. Lots of funny death screens too lol. you can tell they put a lot of effort into the game. It looks graphically amazing, and is super unique!! Can't recommend enough, and I'm not even halfway through.

[h3]The biggest hidden gem I ever seen in gaming[/h3] [u]Not as hardcore as it looks. If you're unsure, try it then refund it.[/u] Don't judge the game by the screenshots / trailers. In this game, a stage is split in mini-sections, where you have to stay alive against a single pattern for only a couple seconds, then on to the next one. [b]There's a checkpoint at each pattern[/b]. This turns the traditionally hardcore genre of bullet hells into a very casual experience. Not only respawns allow beginners to overcome patterns quickly, but this also means there's gonna be constant action since the game can afford to have you dying a lot. This game is perfect for streaming. Can be picked up very easily, co-op and community content available, gets you challenged while you won't usually get stuck long on the same pattern, and any viewer will quickly catch up what's happening on screen. While the restrained movement mechanics might seem like variety will quickly run out, there are still many possibilities for advanced stages. There's of course bullet trajectories and smaller gaps requiring more precision, but the slayable enemies might open a lot of options as well.

I thought I mastered the left click till I played this game
