Lickpickle has announced that their very first title Puddle Knights is releasing in March 2020 exclusively on Steam. Puddle Knights is a very unique puzzle game that involves a lot of puddles and Knights who save the elite of the country from these puzzles. The concept of the game is really simple yet it forms a really great puzzler which is surely going to keep you busy for some time as you try to help the elite cross the dirty streets.
You will take control of chivalrous knights in Puddle Knights who gain honor by helping the elite of the society cross the streets without getting dirty. The streets of the game are extremely dirty and the knights must use their large capes trailing behind them in a snakelike fashion to help the elite cross the streets without getting their clothes dirty.
Each mission will bring brand new objectives and each puzzle will be harder than the last one. Your task will be to lead the Elite to their designated exit points. You will have control over both the chivalrous knights with their long capes as well as the elite who are not very mud-resistant. You will cover the dirt-covered streets by placing the Knights’ capes over them and then later move the Elite over them to escort them.
