Holding down Space will display the enlarged size of the current screen (Preview Panel).

Ctrl Shift C – enter cheat mode (there will be a sound signal). Now you can use the following combinations to get different abilities:
Holding Space will give invulnerability, but the character freezes and cannot move. Space + right-click on the screen – will move to that location.
Space Down – will save the game in the place where Juni is (KS+). The cheat mode will remain on even when the hero dies, to exit it you need to restart the game.

In the level editor (file "Level Editor Plus.exe") you can open the loaded level and see its map. See all the screens, find where the keys are located, secret places and endings. Also in the editor you can find out the coordinates of the screens.

1. Nifflas – Tutorial. The first was not a chicken or an egg, but a tutorial from Nifflas.
2. Nifflas – The Machine. Classic classic, this is the main level for all times, it is with it that the game KS is associated. But it is quite long and confusing, if you want to start with something more cheerful, then you can try option #3 first.
3. Nifflas – Sky Flower. Handsome, with great challenges, short and dynamic – you can't help but fall in love.
4. Nifflas – Gustav's Daughter. Another intense level, with increased difficulty. This is an excellent training ground for the skills of passing tests.

1. Ultigonio – Deep Freeze. Original passage mechanics, original soundtrack, interesting and unique challenges. Great level.

1. SecretGlitch – Dark Sea 2. An excellent level, everyone should try it, and when you decide that you cannot go further, continue to enjoy watching the passage on YouTube.
2. PeppyHare4000...

1. Sewers...

• The game should be able to run in full screen, in a window (real size and x2), on Android and iOS.
• When Junie dies, the transition must be black (or gray). The white transition is very annoying as it is now, especially if you play the dark level (or watch the passage) on the big screen and in the dark.
• Increase the frame rate (60/120 fps?) So that all movements are smooth.
• Make the aspect ratio of the playing space standard for most screens, 16x9, or close to it.
• Screen map (similar to Knytt Underground). It's good if it will be created automatically. In the map, I would like to see where there are transitions (direct, not hidden), and where there is a dead end. Scroll the entire map. When creating a level, the author can disable the map (enabled by default), but with the cheat code it can still be enabled.
• The ability to easily translate dialogues in levels into different languages. You can make automatic machine translation into the main languages, and add a language selection in the game settings.
• Embed button assignment functions for gamepads into the game.
• At the top of the game window, where it says "Knytt Stories Plus 1.2.1" – write the name of the current level and the author.
• In the menu, display if the game has been completed, if the game has started and when the game has never been started. You can add anchors to the levels for the main ending and for all hidden endings (100% completion) – when the player enters this state, the information that he passed it is recorded in the game menu (until the game is deleted).
• Anti-aliasing should not be applied to the game when zooming, the picture should remain pixelated, with clear outlines. Or let the player choose the anti-aliasing in the settings.

• Each individual screen of the game should be an interesting complete action, the more cool there is, the better. It is not advisable to lengthen one idea over several screens. For example, it is bad to make complex transitions between screens like in climbing walls.
• There should not be a senseless running around, each screen should carry some kind of thought-goal.
• At the beginning of the game, you cannot make difficult-to-pass places, especially on which you can not understand what to do at all. This is annoying and the player will want to delete the level altogether.
• Saving in difficult places should not be placed too close, the player should try the game. At the same time, it should be interesting to go through these difficult places themselves over and over again, so that sticking to them does not seem like a mockery, and the passage of a difficult place arouses pride (delight).
• Saving BEFORE and AFTER a difficult place should not be far apart. TO the place – because every time dying during the passage is stupid and annoying to get to this place for a long time. And AFTER – because it is unnerving that the player's success is under threat until he is saved, and saving will be his reward for his efforts.
• Don't make the same screens unnecessarily. For a player with no memory strain, screens should not evoke the sensation of déjà vu unless it is done on purpose, for example.
• It is necessary that the colors do not merge, so that all the elements are pleasant and clearly distinguishable.
• Good / bad level design games: dessgeega – Knytt Syndromes, PsychoCola – Museum of Bad Lvl Design, HeadGrinder – Badly Built Level.

• Rename the Column "Age" to "Date" and indicate there the day the file was loaded in the format YYYY.MM.DD.
• You can remove the "Size" column – it does not carry important information, the file size will almost never affect the decision to download it or not, and the "Attribute" will say about the size of the level.
• Design and add a rating system for the levels. You can make a complex rating with several criteria (general, tests, beauty, originality ...).
• Optional screenshots of the game can be added to the game cards (so that you can clearly see what to expect from it).
• Probably it is necessary to make sure that users cannot delete games from the site and change their display, only through an appeal to the administrator.
• Make a selection-recommendations on various topics (for example, for beginners, hard and sleepwalking tests, beautiful adventure games ...).
• You can display site statistics: how many levels, how many bytes they occupy, the average size of the game (total bytes / number of levels), the number of authors ...
• We need to make a page with site manuals. There, describe all the features and settings of the site, thoughts and ideas. Describe recommendations on how to rate.
• Write articles-texts about the game, the editor, enemies, game tricks, codes ...
