Someone recommended The Knightling to me tonight and it's a charming little game. Reminds me of the classic PS2 days of old.
We're on this list! Thanks for including us,
@tuckerhazell.bsky.social!!
Thank you so much, we're glad you liked it! π₯Ή
Happy First Day of Spring! May the clouds disappear, may you see blue skies, may you touch grass π π

Thatβs right, folks! Make sure you support Twirlbound by playing The Knightling, one of their games, leave a review, and share this with your friends! π
Yes, I gave The Knightling a 10 last year. Yes, I stand by it.
Go enjoy one of the most special open worlds out there.
Glad you saw it! Hope you try it out! π
