We are now on itch.io!

Oh, you were looking for a download link to get the latest version? Don't worry! We are now using itch.io for all that.

Itch.io is one of the coolest tools and websites to publish your indie games without any hassle at all.

Flick Knights is still FREE and, thanks to this tool, you can also add a contribution to support us when you download the game. We would really appreciate it :)

So for all of you Indie Devs out there that need a little hand when it comes to distribution: let the guys from itch.io handle your game. Also, thanks a lot for adding us to the homepage features!

Introducing: The Texturizer!

And closing up this news bulletin: We are bringing the customization of the knights to YOU.

We are adding some finishing touches to a tool that will let you change the looks of the characters and test it out on their animations: The Texturizer.



So yeah, this could happen... you might be a bit more talented for this, though. So yeah, this could happen... you might be a bit more talented for this, though.

The tool comes with the sprite set for a character and you can edit its contents so that you can play dress-up with the knights and share your creations in our forums! We will set up an official Texturizer thread and if we see any costume with potential we will add it to the game. You'll not only get full credit in the in-game shop but also some juicy benefits (Lots of Gems? An emblem? Who knows!).

Once it's ready, the Texturizer will be included in your Flick Knights download so you can get your creative juices flowing as soon as you can start flicking!
