Key Design Idea: Fortify

Polar Knight’s boss fight is quite unique as his moves actually modify the arena, creating spike hazards that Shovel Knight has to avoid. We used this as the main source of inspiration for his playstyle.

Polar Knight’s attacks create Ice Spikes which provide him a variety of bonuses that range from added power to extra positioning control. Use your great defenses to build-up your fort of Ice Spikes and take control of the fight!
