If there's one thing you can say about mobile developer AppSir, it's that their games are always worth checking out. From our glowing review of Spooky Pixel Hero to their latest offering, Climb Knight, AppSir consistently delivers unique indie fun that resonates with players. And Climb Knight is no exception!

You might be wondering, "Didn't you already cover Climb Knight?" Indeed, we did, and we gave it a highly positive review. Surprisingly, the team at AppSir was taken aback by the warm reception Climb Knight received. In celebration, they're rolling out a major update on February 25th, and the best part? It's completely free!

What can you expect from this update? Three new one-bit minigames and an intriguing new advisor character inspired by Apple Newton shareware. Knowing AppSir's penchant for the mysterious, there's likely more to this advisor and the new gameplay than meets the eye.

Climbing upAppSir demonstrates that a dedicated indie developer can break the mold and achieve popularity on mobile platforms. While they might not be the "New Blood" of smartphones, their work shares similarities with the eerie, retro aesthetic of the acclaimed Faith trilogy.
