About
Freezing Knights is my first real attempt at creating a game and took about 7 months to develop. It is split between 14 carts and was mainly inspired by that one RPG series with two plumbers 🐢.
It originally released as part of the Twelve Days of Pico-8 Christmas 2022 event.
Also available on itch.io and Newgrounds.
