Developer note: 

I've always thought that the knight was the most interesting piece in chess. The ability to go through things combined with the intricate L-shaped movement system always made using the knight interesting and fun. So, I made a game that uses this! You use the mouse to move through complex levels, as well as to defeat various enemies with unique weaknesses. There's also a bit of lore and dialogue to keep things even more interesting.
