The characters all have different strengths and weaknesses, and as you play through the game you'll unlock new classes as well. You'll start as the eponymous Knight, but for the first few play throughs you'll swap between a mage, an archer, and a goblin as well. The twist is that every time you pick up a muffin you change class. This takes the form of jumping around enclosed levels, killing scuttling pigs and other beasts and grabbing the deliciously enhanced buns. Incensed by your actions, the fairy whose muffins they were turns you into a knight and sends you off on a quest to retrieve the arcane cakes. You play a young boy who accidentally scatters a basket of magic muffins to the four corners of a cartoon-style fairytale world.

Muffin Knight, from Angry Mob Games, is one such breath of fresh air.Īs original as it is in the context of the App Store, however, it's important to note that Muffin Knight borrows heavily from Vlambeer's excellent Super Crate Box, which is also coming to iOS this month. There are so many games out there, and so many other people making new ones, that your brilliant idea has probably already been built and released.Įqually, the huge swathe of clones and copycats that bloat the App Store make it even more refreshing when something does come along that's that little bit different. Creating something unique is becoming a more and more difficult task in the world of smartphone gaming.
