Knightfall

Knightfall is a puzzle game with turn-based mechanics, in which you play as a drill-wielding knight who's on a quest to dig and fight his way to Hell to rescue his princess from the Devil.
==Controls==
*Mouse: Click on blocks to destroy them, click on items in your inventory to use them
*Arrow Keys or Z and X: Rotate the board 90 degrees
==Plot==
The game begins with the Knight on a hill trying to woo the Princess, when suddenly a rift opens in the ground and the Devil pops out and kidnaps the Princess. Not missing a beat, the Knight goes right after the Devil! His journey takes him down the cellar of the town tavern, where he encounters all manner of weird and horrible monsters. The Knight keeps digging deeper and deeper until he reaches Hell itself and does battle with the Devil, finally defeating the diabolical demon after a grueling battle.
==Gameplay==
Knightfall consists of five worlds, each one containing five levels that are played back to back. In every level, the Knight is placed in the middle of a board full of blocks and enemies, and must collect a key which will unlock the door that leads to the next level. The Knight himself can't be moved directly, but you can move him around by rotating the board and destroying blocks by clicking on them.  You can only destroy blocks in groups of three or more, and doing so takes away one of the Knight's Action Points (stamina). If the Knight runs out of AP, he'll lose 1 HP every time the player breaks a group of blocks. The Knight can also be attacked and killed by enemies in the level. There are many types of enemies in the game, and each type has a different range of attack and unique skills. The Knight can kill enemies by landing on them from above, but takes damage from them if he comes within their range.
Although Knightfall is mainly a puzzle game, it contains some aspects of a turn-based game as well. Every time you destroy a group of blocks, it counts as a turn. Certain enemy behaviors are affected by how many turns you take as you play through a level.
Knightfall also has a shop feature and a leveling system. The Knight gains a little XP whenever the player breaks blocks, and he gains more XP and gold when he kills an enemy. After gaining enough XP, the Knight will level up, slightly increasing the maximum capacity of his HP and AP. The Fairy Shop can be visited by the Knight every five levels; it contains helpful items that could be found in the game's levels, as well as upgrades for the Knight.
==Modes and Difficulty Levels==
Knightfall has two different modes:

==Trivia==
*The Black Knights' attack and death cries are actually the Knight's sound effects, except lower-pitched and distorted to sound demonic. This is in reference to the fact that the Black Knights are literally evil clones of the Knight created by dark magic.
