If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their games are always worth checking out. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest release, Climb Knight, AppSir consistently delivers distinct indie fun that resonates with players. Climb Knight, in particular, has been a surprising success for the developer, prompting them to announce a major update set for February 25th, available completely free of charge.
This exciting update will introduce three new one-bit minigames and an intriguing new advisor character, inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Given AppSir's history with spooky releases, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay elements than initially meets the eye.
Climbing upAppSir demonstrates that a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and achieve popularity on mobile platforms. While they may not be the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the eerie, retro aesthetic of the acclaimed Faith trilogy.
For more insights into AppSir's games, you can revisit our review of Spooky Pixel Hero, another excellent title well worth your time. Additionally, if you're curious about developer Darius's thoughts on the reception to Climb Knight, be sure to read his latest blog post.
