Running Knight
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
"Running Knight" is a small game for the Atari Lynx game console. You control a Knight that is always running in a maze full of deadly pillars and treasure chests. How long can you run?
Use the D-Pad to move and hold A or B to run instead of walking.
Press Option 2 to enable / disable music.
If you are looking for a challenge, my current highscore is 723 points!
How to play
Download the game ROM files in .LNX (emulator) and .LYX (flashcart) formats. The fully commented source code is also provided as a separate download if you want to make new games for the Atari LYNX too!
This game is my entry to the LynxJam 2023 Game Jam hosted by Atari Lynx Vault. This year, the theme is "Same, but different". Every participant have to use the same tileset (sprites and background images) selected by the Jam organizers, and make a new game with it! This is a very unique theme, and I'm eager to see what everyone will make with it. Another limitation is the scope, as the whole game must fit under 50ko.

Greetings Dr. Ludos,
we hope you doing great. I am Areeba Malik (aka Titania) from the BrewOtaku-Team, we are launching our first homebrew gaming magazine soon. We loved your work and we have featured your game "Running Knight” in our very first issue.
Please share your contact details if you would like to have a digital copy of our magazine. As we intend to sell the magazine at a very affordable price, you would need to keep it confidential for you only, of course you would get a free copy.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
