Frau Holle

Knytt Stories Level

Designed a level to tell the fairytale "Frau Holle" for Knytt Stories, with the help of Petrea Kaðlín Sigmundsdóttir.

The challenge was to tell the story without writing _any_ gameplay code except for what was already in Knytt by default.

You can download it here, you need to download Knytt Stories first and then install the level (you can do it directly inside Knytt).
