This week’s game spotlight is Jumping Knight by White Dog Games! This retro-style platformer features an atmospheric-dark world with eye-popping visuals, funny characters, and a cute storyline that adds a fun twist on the ‘Dungeons and Monsters’ genre.
This unique platformer built with Buildbox is only available exclusively on Steam. White Dog Games also documented their process of making the game across their social media channels. If you’re not following them, you definitely should. On Instagram, they showed how they took a game idea, mapped it out on pencil and paper, and then used our software to design and build out levels quickly. It’s a great example of what you can do using Buildbox.
