About Tiny Knight Run
Tiny Knight Run is a fast endless runner with boss chases. The tiny knight runs by himself. You only do two things: jump and slash. Leap over pits and spikes, slash barrels, crates and barricades, stomp on enemies and grab every coin on the road.
The road crosses five kingdoms: Bramblewood Keep, Saltmarsh Docks, Ember Forge, Frostspire and The Puppet Keep. Each has its own enemies, obstacles and music. At the end of each kingdom its boss starts chasing you: Sir Hollowmoss, Old Lanternclaw, Anvilgut, Gander the Great and The Puppet King. Each boss attacks while running behind you. Jump the waves it sends along the road and dodge what falls from the sky: shadows show where. After three dodged attacks a lever appears: slash it to drop the kingdom's trap on the boss, and the gate to the next kingdom opens. After the fifth boss the run goes around again, faster.
Reach a new kingdom once and it unlocks: your next runs can start there, or from any kingdom you reached before.
Seven power-ups change the run: the Coin Magnet, the Pot-Lid Shield that blocks one hit, the Coin Sack that doubles your coins, Winged Boots for a triple jump, the Speed Potion for an unstoppable dash, the Revive Feather, and the goat bell, which brings Butterhorn, a goat you ride to smash through everything in your way.
Spend your coins in the shop on 12 helmets, from a colander and a teapot to a beehive and a golden pot, and on upgrades that make power-ups last longer or give you an extra heart. Three missions at a time and a daily gift give you more coins.
How to play
- The knight runs on his own.
- Jump: tap the left half of the screen, or press Space, ↑ or W. Hold to jump higher, and tap again in the air to double jump.
- Slash: tap the right half of the screen, or press X, J or →. Slash in the air for a spin attack.
- Stomp on enemies by landing on them. Don't land on spiky ones.
- You have three hearts. A hit or a fall into a pit costs one. Lose them all and the run ends, unless you use a Revive Feather.
- When a boss chases you, dodge three of its attacks, then slash the lever to drop the trap on it.

Tips & tricks
- Hold jump for long gaps. A short tap gives a small hop, and holding the button jumps higher.
- Slash in the air. The spin attack clears flying enemies and things in front of you.
- Watch the right edge. A red warning shows where arrows will fly: jump the low ones and slash the high ones.
- Don't attack the boss. Dodge its attacks instead. After three dodges the lever appears.
- Save the shield for the boss. The Pot-Lid Shield blocks one hit, and boss attacks are the hardest to dodge.
- Start further on. Once you reach a kingdom, you can start your next runs there.
