Let's Play Knytt 1: Abducted

[CheddarTheKnight]

So is this game a free download? If so, does it take a decent computer to use?

[DeceasedCrab]

@CheddarTheKnight Yes and no.

[cubeface21]

Oh, how I love this and Knytt Stories. Some of the most atmospheric games I've ever played.

[HarpoTheVillain]

That beam of light showing the location of the ship parts...it very much reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus, how you used your sword to locate Colossi. Actually, this game seems to have quite a bit in common with Shadow. Only it's in 2D. I approve of this! Nifflas is the guy who also made...Iji, right? And Hero: Core?

[DeceasedCrab]

@HarpoTheVillain Errr, no. He didn't make Iji or Hero Core. Daniel Remar did those.

[TurboBabyPuncher]

@HarpoTheVillain

The ambient sounds and stuff (if you play it you'll hear it better) remind me of SotC as well.

[FMagl]

I was going to wait for your next hiatus to start watching this LP but changed my mind.

Playing Knytt Stories, I was surprised by how diabolical elements of Nifflas' levels could be at times compared to Knytt. Also, adding powerups made Knytt Stories' levels less open and nonlinear, traits I really liked about Knytt. Though, as you said, both are good.

8:11 Are Knytts made entirely of salt?

[deRpandstuff]

At 4:13 was that... Mario and Green dude who's name I can't spell that starts with l?

[DeceasedCrab]

@deRpandstuff Luigi?

[mechak332337]

I love your voice and all, but you sound like you're reading a script. :l

[DeceasedCrab]

@mechak332337 I'm not. I'm just a little more serene when I play Knytt games.

[xannidel]

has anyone found any good ambiant exploration games recently besides Knytt Stories?

[6MOK]

@xannidel knytt experiment - inside nano pack. But not as good as knytt stories, level editor really isn't as much.

[bubbajimmy8]

I watch this when ever I feel down , DeceasedCrab makes me happy :D

[MushroomRetainer]

Dude is like the Bob Ross of Let's Plays.

"Suicidal little Knytt. Cheer up, Knytt!"

"I think I'm going the wrong way. But is there really a wrong way? No. There isn't. Not especially."

[headyD]

I love your voice <3

[xarboy5000]

Knytt got abducted! This is why you don't leave your Knytt alone in the store, you never know what will happen.

[spleenandpie]

these controls are awesome

[headyD]

Hmm... I like your video but I dont know why.

Maybe its the relaxing atmosphere :D

*thumbs up*

[nilsodor]

I promes i know the guy who made knytt ! and whitin a deep forest . i know where he live. he live about 3miles from me! 5km . in sweden in umeå in renmarkstorget ! i live 3miles away on axlavägen/backenvägen

[GoondocksCastle]

toejam and earl?

[bubbajimmy8]

Knytt is probably the most relaxing games I have ever played , nothing action packed nothing to off subject just great

[NeoCydude]

This game made me smile ^^

[VeePickle]

I don't have any real idea why, but when I present this game to someone and let them play it theres always some creature they take a liking to and take about a minute watching and following it. For me, it was the stickly-legged green thing on the bridge. That's one great thing about this game: active environments. There's always something moving about!

[SziZao]

DeceasedCrab, Can I ask you a question?

Too late. I just did.

[PhilFunnilyEnough]

Man I love you DC, 1) You give me good games to play.

2) You make the games so interesting with your narration.

Hope to hear from you soon, keep up the gaming power. :D

[Flumpansamonga]

Running, jumping, cimbing and exploring...Such a wonderfully simple game.

Nifflas is a genius.

[Shagabec]

Oh my god. I love this music. It's so.... AWESOME!

[SurLeif]

I love this game!

[prinsessluck]

at 4:08 theres mario & luigi fishing x]

[WTFLEETERS]

Holy shit, you are so awesome and calm when your talking.

[Flumpansamonga]

I'm gonna go explore the hell out of Knytt now.

Full screen + volume up = great experience.

[LocustWave]

I loooove knytt, why aren't there more free games like this

[DeviantDespot]

Thank you for introducing me to this game.

[Ukiby3000]

I just love the concept of Knytt (and Knytt Stories, for that matter). Just going around, listening to good music and seeing beutiful scenarios... I think that there should be more games like that.

Speaking of that, I need to go back to my Knytt project I started some time ago and that I never finished...

[mynameisnotalfredo]

One of the absolute greatest recent experimental games. Fun and simple.

[Toudou1620]

Try Les Bois venteux on Knytt stories

[Jockolantern]

Happy One Year Anniversary, Knytt LP! One of your most relaxing and thoroughly engaging LPs, DC. Keep it up!

[xIceDragonFirex]

Is this game available on macs?

[pivotmasterDXRULES]

yes you just have to convert it

[EvilJirachi]

yeah

[themaskedgangsta]

yeah

[Ikus13]

No, sadly, no. Play it with Parallels or install Windows 7 in Bootcamp like I did. in fact, i installed Windows only to play all of Nifflas's games, from Within a Deep Forest to Knytt Stories and everything in between. :)

[Onirayushizobura]

Have you tried Saira yet?

[DeceasedCrab]

I did. I didn't like it. And the demo crashed. So, no plans on playing it.

[auzzygirl12]

May I say that you have a wonderful voice. It is a pleasure to listen to it. Do you just love making these videos?

[DeceasedCrab]

Apparently I do, because I just hit the 700 video mark.

[QuantumCrayons]

I concur with the voice comment.

[auzzygirl12]

Ah, I see.  Good for you, I doubt many people can say that they have accomplished that. If you don't mind me asking, what is your favorite video that you made?

[Saprokirani]

it would be a better commentary if you were just playing it for the first time :P but good job =] i want to try this

[DeceasedCrab]

Wrong. Blind-run commentary is usually pretty bland, and blind-run gameplay is usually ridden with death and failure. Pre-playing a level is almost essential for LPs that don't hinge on shock or surprise, like Don't Eat The Mushroom.

[DanTheMan5439]

Yes but blind runs can be funny at time like don't eat the mushroom when ProtonJonSA did it lol

[DeceasedCrab]

That's because Don't Eat The Mushroom's value lies entirely in surprise.

[GRIM1000Eyes]

and DeceasedCrab told him to blind-run it

[GaiaRedCrest]

I dislike that fact, though, because it somewhat ruins LPs of horror games, because you don't get to see the LPer freak out during the scares, because they already played it and know where to go and what the puzzles are.

T_T

[Bladedlightning]

It's true.

Take it from a lazy guy who did Goemon's Great Adventure without playing the game first.

Playthroughs get unnecessarily dragged out when that happens, making them unefficient and irritating to those who have played the game before.

Don't be like me. Don't take LP requests unless you know the game.

[Goodguy211]

Did I see MARIO & LUIGI??!!

[DeceasedCrab]

No. You didn't.

[Goodguy211]

Oh...

[melunu]

It was obviously two cats. Yeah... Hear the meow?

[Kaijudomage22]

That ship part locator reminds me of the sword in Shadow of The Colossus.

[ddgafd]

Knytt is a character in a poem by Tove Jansson, if you didn't already know.

[Flumpansamonga]

You got me to play Within a Deep Forest and now I'm going to play Knytt. This seems like a really good game.

[BluntMetroid]

Ambiance tab is pretty funny. Love the LP's!

[invertin]

I saw the secret ending to a strange dream right before I started watching this. Let's see if this makes sense to me.

[ZephyreSyx]

Only on the internet where you'll find a nice casual exploration game. Nifflas does sound like a cool type.

The story you told about him sounds like he let people mallide his designing style to please the audience. I believe he made the right choice to breakaway from that, and continue to be himself and do what he enjoys. There's nothing to gain from the world so I'm proud.

Send him that note, could you for me? =1

[Shintai123]

So relaxing..... what a nice game.

[videoxgamexdudex]

i always play this game when i need to calm down i find it very peicefull

[ArkRiley]

It's a change of pace watching you play a game that isn't hell-bent on killing you, DC. A nice one, since Knytt is a really nice game.

Also, hearing you say 'Whimsy!' is kind of fun.

[greentrace]

Is this your happy place, DC?

[DarkSlayerJ]

wow...looks like a realy fun game!

[DarkWobbuffet]

That alien's a jerk. First he kidnaps you for whatever reason, crashes right into an asteriod, then expects you to find all the parts of his ship.

[JCgamer7gamehackerNR]

You sound almost as depressed as me.

[DeceasedCrab]

Calm doesn't mean depressed.

[JCgamer7gamehackerNR]

I know but when I have cronick depression I'm usually very melow or i'm very angry and danger's. Also i said soudn like that not that you are.

[DarkReaper1994]

Something is wrong with you then, becuase these are my favorite of DC's LP's. I mean really, his voice is, for some reason, very calming to me.

[Chucksgotagun]

i love the way this ame looks i definately wanna play it now

[Aquies]

Watching this, immediately after watching you play Hell Temple in La-Mulana, is just... creepy. Hearing you going from yelling/screaming/crying to just.. going with the flow, is eerie.

[crocz]

I've wathed your knytt LPs for about ten times now and still i jsut can't get enough of these : )

[Kronoan]

OK DC, will do! :) Sorry about that, I'm glad you're not mad or anything, I didn't mean to be that verbose but it was my first time talking to you & I was nervous & I had a lot to say! & I will & do enjoy all your vids I've seen & watched so far, great job DC! I hope we can talk someday on MSN or something. Until then, Huzzah!

[Kronoan]

(Sorry about the length of this. I'm a heavy talker too, so I'm a lot like Kite & whoever else talks a lot. I should do an LP myself if I knew how to use the software you guys do. But NM.) I'd like to think that I'm one of the few YouTube users that Kite mentioned in one of his LP's for FFLII when he was talking with Jman I think & the British guy that isn't stupid & that I hope you guys would actually like to talk to. Anyway, thanks for reading all of this & I hope to see more from you!

[Kronoan]

(Continued from my last comment) that I knew you guys IRL, you sound like great guys. Although apparently most of you are still around 16, 17 or maybe 18 currently, Kite I think still lives at home from what I'd heard in his LP of FFLII, IDK about the rest of you but anyway. Keep up the good work & if you could pass the word around that I'd be interested in chatting with a few of you guys if it would be OK with you on MSN maybe, then I'd like that. I'd like to think I'm at least one of the ...

[Kronoan]

Hey Deceased Crab, I watched your Let's Plays for StarTropics I & II, & I really enjoyed them! Knytt looks really interesting, would I have to do a search for them or could you help me get a copy? Also, what system is it for? It almost look like you're running VBA to play it, but I don't know, maybe not. BTW, I recently subscribed to you, UltraJMan, KiteBaaw(Rygar), James(Rofle)NintendoNerd A.K.A. AVGN, Artifical Raven, & RPGenie. I enjoy your guys' LP's, vids. & your talk. I really wish ...

[DeceasedCrab]

Well gee, I'm glad you're enjoying my videos, but next time do you think you could condense your message a bit? Kite tends to be long-winded too, and it's not a good thing.

Hope you keep enjoying my LPs. But please, fewer words next time. A paragraph will do instead of a page.

[Schweet916]

I'm sorry to be a bother, but is Knytt freeware?

[DeceasedCrab]

Sure is.

[bookfound]

Hay DC, it would be great if you would LP Myst 1 and/or Journeyman Project 1.

Please?

[jamesbondgeek1]

The ambience and "light points the way to next objective" thing makes this very similar to Shadow of the Colossus.

[LavosXII]

I always thought the exploration of both Knytt and Knytt Stories were extremely nice and ambient, but I prefer Stories because the power ups add to the exploration you can go off and do. Which is why stuff like Gaia works so well.

[elderdragonIce]

I just finnished Lets Play La-Mulana (By DC) And you should all see it.

[skate045]

Tryed it alredy...

[americandream112]

nice you "Tryed" it alread. I also "Tryed" it already, dont watch it if you dont want to, do a spelling class instead.

[DudePerson1304]

i preffere kyntt stories to knytt - there are some REALLY good worlds you can download on his forums.

BTW hes working on Nightgame now.

[swfan375]

this is an amaing game

[DarkReaper1994]

Wow... your voice is really calming in this video. Also, I like the way you say. "ship parts".

[Think0028]

The woops about 00:50 was priceless.

[watsahappawitchu]

4:06 Those two look like Mario and Luigi.

[zzzdude9]

So, are you going to do a "let's play" on knytt-nano?

[MiracleWings]

...the hell? o.o;

The "clicking" sound during some jumps,the relative size of the character to the rest of the game,the wall jumping all makes the character remind me a lot of the main character of I Wanna Be the Guy.

<<;

Nuu, Mr. Wings will not tell ye to LP it.

[GoldDraconian]

Yeah, it looks kind of like I Wanna Be The Guy, except made by someone who wants to avoid harming you, rather than by someone who tries to ensure you die as often as possible.

[darktetsuya]

oh, like naramura? (... yeah, I went there.)

[crocz]

The humorous bird is called Boris ;o

[DogOfWar01]

hmmm this game seems almost like pikmin. atleast the beginning dun no about the rest.

[egdeltur666]

whats with the thumbs down? It's about exploration and collecting ship parts. Thats exactly like pikmin!

[Sosogomi]

I saw lemmings!

[TrueSoreThumb]

Where did you go for that time, DC? I missed you :3

[DeceasedCrab]

LPing War With The Evil Power Master. Didn't you read the blog I set up just so you YouTubers could read it?

[TrueSoreThumb]

D: no? :( I will need to look back over old videos (if you do not want to link me <:3 <3 )

[DeceasedCrab]

Guess who doesn't care how Knytt is really pronounced? Stop bringing it up.

[CaptainNemo121]

the similaretys between this and within the deep forest are uncanny it has a tower a dragon and other things

[Daniel90215856556]

Made by the same person, in fact Knytt's village is in the Harhara Mountains of Within A Deep Forest.

[hermestrime]

Great that you're recording this, DC! the vids of Within a Deep Forest were good (even if you kept dying :P) I hope that this one isn't so hard!

oh yeah, one little thing, in Swedish, you pronounce it something like "Ker-nit" with a strong K, but it doesn't really matter.

Oh, I'm HaPK, I have no YouTube account so I'm using my brother's :P

Cheers and good playing!

[azar96]

Welcome back DC, missed ya. Love this line of games, its like visual prozac...only no need for a doctors order.

[jukeboxlord]

i love this game but i suck at it

[doggydude8912345]

are you gonna use cheats? cuz i wanna see the tabk/lazer dude, aka the das magdenburska martian deathray panzer crawler.

[Marpharrore]

My fave part of this game, personally, is once you get all the ship parts and then trek all the way back to the beginning through all the nice, ambient, natural areas of the game you went through before. This game is just really, really nice and relaxing.

[yoyosupyo]

are you just doing knytt stories' default game or are you going to do any user-created ones?

[Grotheer42]

Actually, Nifflas stopped working on Knytt Experiment because he was doing everything people suggested just so he could please the crowd. He didn't like that, he just wanted to express himself. He's working on a game called Night Game (working title) right now, which does in fact have puzzles. Actually, it's pretty much completely physics based puzzle game. But of course, it'll still have all the ambiance of previous games :)

[ocarson]

I heard it was pronounced as "Knight", still ether way this is a good game.

[UnbeknownstThing]

Wow, loved your commentary in this one. Learned a lot about that Nifflys guy, surely a renaissance man. Hope to learn some more. ;D

[groovemanexe]

Well isn't this the most beautiful game I've seen in a while. Ambient Music is the best music.

It's like Super Paper Mario, but with depth~

[IHateSilentHill]

Ahh. A nice, relaxing LP for the holiday season that's rapidly approaching. And the promise of an equally relaxing one to follow!

Bravo, good sir. Bravo.

[KingInYellowTatters]

Ooh. Ambiency... 0.0

[APHEX83]

I love it when LP Players do freeware games

Hope to se more from you DC

[jonjonrov]

good see or i mean hear that your back.

[saratona]

Hey DC, this is a really good choice; Nifflas makes great unique games. Anyway, I was wondering if you were planning on LPing Seiklus at any point; I will if you aren't, but I'd rather not if you are.

[DarkenedAuras]

How do you know what can hurt you? just try it and see? also you're right it's very relaxing lol where do you download it?

[Xanit]

Knytt glows red when near something that can kill him, with the exception of water.

[LEGOmationworks]

That's a good game, Knytt Stories is interesting, too...Are you going to go to the secret section in Knytt?

[Daniel90215856556]

Yes he does do the secret area.

[VromNath]

You seem amazingly calm while playing this game, unlike your adventures in every other game.

[SundarkSoldier]

I love it. It's so simple. It's really fun to watch. I'll probably wind up playing this game, too.

I love how it looks almost exactly like WaDF.

[mastatsan]

The name of this game is pronounced like Knight... like the guys who wear armor. Just found that out recently.

[Aduross]

Ah, this is a great game! As was Knytt Stories. ^_^ Personally, I kinda liked Knytt Stories a bit better, since I'm a fan of "Collect Power-ups to Advance" gameplay, but Knytt was really fun, as well. :D I look forward to these next two Let's Plays! ^_^

Also, I'm glad to hear your voice again, too.

[scwizard]

Knytt is wonderful. Knytt Stories (the sequel) is even better :D

I <3 Nifflas.

[QuoVadisNation]

I wish the music somehow lasted a bit longer. The music is great. But the dead air is prettying testing.

Regardless, nice lp. As always, I'll be watching this near dinner time. yum..

[strugglepoo]

This game looks very fun and relaxing.

[FF7ACJW]

Great play. Did you know that it is actually pronouced, "knight?" I'll still call it Knytt (knit)

[PheonixOrion]

I've noticed it's really hard not to play this game without smiling or feeling this state of Zen or calmness or something or other.

[Demicore]

Aww I was waiting for a DC VLP for so long and it turns out to be about a game I just played :'(

DAMN YOU DC!

[TeaRedneck]

Cute little game. I'll have to give it a try.

[LaZodiac]

This game seems awesome. Your extremely calm voice matchs the music and everything.

[Rockmage]

Ah, this game is so fun. Really, I was saying that out loud while I was playing it. It's just great.

[NotPigeonV2]

Heh... I remember playing this.  It was actually only a month ago, so...

Definitely easier if you know where things are.

[Linkfire]

Yay finally an LP I dont have to read!

[hipoc]

This game looks great so far, thanks for the LP!

[Jigglysaint]

A nice relaxing game to forget about Flppto Rape and Denim Courage. Where are all these games anyway?

[SamuraiFoochs]

That's a really spiffy art style. I'd never heaes of this game before. DC is educational!

[Fairtravian]

Hehe, humorous bird! Humorous birds always make a good place to stop!

[Ironblood1]

heh I played this game it was quite hard but you get better at it. ( i love the fez donkey lama mule thingys)

[Kreamkaiser]

I've missed you, DC. I mean, I know you havn't been gone, but it's nice to hear your voice again. :D

[KiteBaaw]

Well. This was unexpected.

Those 3 weeks went faster than I expected. Though, I'm glad you came back to Video LPs at this point, as many others seem to have been...laggin behind a bit lately due to the current times. Hah.

Good luck, Deceased Crab. Look forward to my own LP after I finish Soul Blazer. It has a surprise for you that doesn't involve soundboards.

[Fhrgaderga]

At 4:04-4:13, is that Mario and Luigi on that platform?

[Grotheer42]

It does kind of look like them due to the video fuzziness, but in the game you can easily tell that it's not them.

[sanddude20]

wow this game just feels so soothing and calming.

[SoundwavTsunami]

I missed your voice D:

[CastlevaniaMoogle]

Damn. I was gonna do this. Beat me to it Crab. That you did.

[FacePunch0]

WHIMSY!

[TheHelldragon]

Man, DCrab, you're right, this game is just loaded with atmosphere. Every so often it's nice to play or watch a game like this-it's true that its simplicity and ambience is reward enough.

[DannerSixteen]

LMFAO I thought that was a buffalo, then you said it was a bird and I thought "There's no way that thing can fly." Then sure thing it starts flying. This game gets a 10 out of 10 for having a flying buffalo.

[sothacid]

Cacti!  Do the cactus dance, Knytt!

YEAH BOYEE

[HyperMysterious]

That's the last time I let you ahve Ecstasy.

[CaptainNemo121]

Nifflas is truly talented

[captainblue50]

Audio's pretty quiet in this one. And I suppose the letterbox format is because Knytt doesn't run full-screen or something?

[uznare]

It "CAN" run on full screen :P it just not the same quality.

[firetu]

You walked on the clouds. Just like real life. Good deal.

[SirGameandWatch]

Well, this will take three videos.

[DeceasedCrab]

Four.

[SirGameandWatch]

Or four.
