GAME INFORMATION

Speark Knight is a small prototype created specifically for the Game Jam 2026 hosted by Luis Canary.

The game was designed to be played directly in your web browser and represents a short vertical slice of a larger gameplay concept. It is not a full game, but rather a proof of concept developed within the time constraints of the Game Jam.

ABOUT THE GAME

Take control of a brave medieval knight and overcome a series of handcrafted platforming challenges in a charming handmade / DIY-inspired world.

Unlike traditional platformers, your knight can use his spear to latch onto ceilings or platforms, allowing you to hang, plan your next move, and reach places that would otherwise be impossible. Master this unique mechanic alongside precision jumping, double jumps, and dashes to clear increasingly difficult obstacles.

Features

• Handmade / DIY-inspired art style.
• Precision 2D platforming.
• Ceiling-hanging mechanic using a spear.
• Double Jump.
• Dash ability.
• 7 short handcrafted levels.
• Designed for quick play sessions.
• Created specifically for Game Jam 2026.

Languages

Some parts of the game are available in English and Spanish.
