If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their games are always worth a look. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest release, Climb Knight, AppSir consistently delivers distinct indie fun that hits the mark. And now, Climb Knight is set to receive a major update on February 25th, which will be completely free!
You might be thinking, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a fairly positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In celebration, they're rolling out an exciting update that includes three new one-bit minigames and introduces a mysterious advisor character inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's track record with spooky releases, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than meets the eye.
Climbing up
AppSir proves that a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and find success on mobile platforms. While I wouldn't label them as the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the excellent Faith trilogy, particularly in the spooky, retro aesthetic of their back catalog.
If you're curious about our thoughts on Spooky Pixel Hero, it's another excellent release well worth your time. For more insights into what developer Darius had to say about the reception to Climb Knight, check out his latest blog post.
