Muffin Knight - App Of The Week

For all those who love our Apps on our phones. I have started to do a App Of The Week in where I will recommend a App for you all to go and download. This can range from games, travel, sports and even news. Theres no limitations on what I will recommend, apart from you will need either a android store or have access to the iTunes Market. 

This weeks App Of The Week is Muffin Knight, the highly addictive 2D Blaster brought to us by Angry Mob Games, creator of other titles such as Predators and Guerrilla Bob. Muffin Knight is an action packed platform game with really stunning visuals and great settings for our characters to fight it out in, from environments such as castles and windmills. Theres a certain fairy tale backstory to the game from the storyline, characters and environments. You get to play as a variety of different characters as you power up from each muffin you collect, all have there own unique attributes and some more useful and others depending on your tactics to conquer the levels. Characters such as Monkeys, Goblins and Unicorn really make the game a whole lot of fun and really refreshing.

There is not much Narratology to Muffin Knight,  you start of as a little boy on a journey to return the old fairy's magical muffins, when all of a sudden a curse is put on you and with each muffin you collect you turn into a different creature, however the fairy then implies she will only reverse the curse once you have collected all the muffins back, charming right. You then have to collect a certain amount of muffins on each stage, obviously some are much harder than others with the challenge of accomplishing a 5 star rating on each stage. Muffin Knight requires a great amount of skill, believe me it is not as easy as it looks.

The gameplay of Muffin Knight is the strongest
point, its just so fun and slick, it only requires 2
control buttons which are shoot and jump so its easy for anyone to pick up and play. Obviously things are'nt straight forward as you are accompined by a range of evil characters all out to deploy you on your mission. There is a whole range of characters from sheep to bats and weird troll looking characters, some require more hits to kill. Another great feature is the ability to level up your attributes as you gain more experience, it adds a lot more diversity and keeps you more interested in the game to improve your characters and believe me you will need all the help you can in the stages later on in the game. Theres a great selection of ways to kill your foe which is another great aspect from the gameplay point of view from fireing shotguns, and launching eggs and bananas. Theres a lot more creativity used and a more fun approach to killing your enemies from a range of comedic attributes. Its also a great game to compare your best scores on each level with your friends, to increase the competitively. Muffin Knight graphically is one of the most colourful and beautiful games I have played on a mobile and really complements the game brilliantly.

Know to the real best bit about Muffin Knight, it costs a mere 79p, which is an absolute bargain for what is a brilliant game and will offer hours of gameplay. I really couldn't recommend the game more, there is not much a could fault about the game, the only slight issue is on touch screen you sometimes forget where the buttons are or your finger slightly misses contact, but that happens for all the games and not just Muffin Knight. Overall if your into mobile gaming and want a fun, yet challenging arcade thriller with a twist Muffin Knight is the game for you from hardcore gamers to the casuals out there.
