Wind-up Knight – The latest must-have game for Android [FREE]

A new platformer recently hit the market and it sure is a beauty. The amount of polish on this game is fantastic. Though the graphics may be a tinge on the cutesy side, be warned, this game can become a real challenge. The aim of the game is to guide your knight to the end of each level, all the while avoiding enemies  and treacherous traps. Plus, you have to pick up winding keys along the way, or your knight will completely cease to sprint through the level.

Wind-up Knight is free and offers 50 levels of some of the best graphics I’ve seen in Android games, all the while bringing some great gameplay mechanics. A lot of times I find that games on the phone are either too easy or too hard due to poor control. Wind-up knight hits the sweet spot by offering a difficult game with fluid and simple control. You won’t be able to blame your death on anyone but yourself, noob.

You’ll probably want to run this on a higher spec phone or tablet. (Looks great on my Xoom)
