Waddle Knight 2 (Kirby Fangame)

Waddle Knight 2 is a completely non-profit fangame, and was made entirely for fun, and to show my love for the Kirby series. There will never be any advertisements of any kind on anything related to Waddle Knight 2, and the game will always be free. I will not accept donations for my work on Waddle Knight 2.

Every background, tile, music track, most sound effects, most sprites, characters, and world is owned and created by HAL Laboratory & Nintendo, and I do not claim ownership of these assets.

Please purchase the latest official Kirby games released by HAL Laboratory & Nintendo to support Kirby series. Every sprite in the game is not owned by me, as most were created by HAL Laboratory & Nintendo, while all the sprites that weren't are credited with links in the credits.txt file and at the bottom of the page.

Waddle Knight 2 is a Kirby fangame with gameplay similar to Hollow Knight that stars Bandana Waddle Dee! In this sequel, Bandana Waddle Dee will have to face off against more than 40 bosses, alongside Bronto Burt, as well as his other new companions: Elfilin and Ribbon!

The game is currently in development, and is currently in an early demo state, with 25 bosses to face off against in a Boss Rush style.

WARNING: Waddle Knight 2 is a very challenging game that will put your skills to the test! Above all else, Waddle Knight 2 is intended to be played for fun, and isn't intended to make the player angry or frustrated, but the game itself is very hard.

Features:

● Boss Rush gameplay, with each of the 25 bosses you defeat granting you ability-unlocking Medals!
● 25 highly detailed, challenging boss battles.
● Gameplay similar to Hollow Knight, with some mechanics inspired by Cuphead.
● New abilities including Charge Attack, Spear Throw, and Glide!
● Highly difficult, but not intentionally annoying or frustrating boss fights. 
● Xbox controller support, and highly recommended. Please add Waddle Knight 2 as a non-Steam game to your Steam library for best controller support. DualSense support should be there, but unfortunately, due to the engine, or due to Steam's new DualSense "Support", the D-Pad for movement seems to be bugged out.

Waddle Knight 2 is now released in it's final state before switching engines and remaking it from scratch. Keep in mind that I am a solo dev who's been working on these games for 3-4 years now, and that I'll accept any criticism, as long as it isn't blatantly trolling, ignorant, or hateful.

Please go check out Kirby Galaxy Gamble Stories and Kirby's Cosmic Clash, as their communities are what gave me motivation to continue working on this game.
