Overview
Summary:
The village of Carrottia is under attack from the wolves (again)... and they have company. It's up to the rookie Bonnie to save the day from this canine menace. Jump, slash and spin through the various tracks to fight back and recover the parts of Carrottia's sacred treasure: The Golden Crest.
BuKnight is a fun and speedy action-platformer mixing the late-90s era mascot fever with the mid-2000s indie game craze. Use your up- and downsmash attacks, as well as the special swirling move to hurl pain at your enemies or to change your momentum and dodge their attacks as your zoom past or towards them.
Stay tuned and enjoy!

Updates
v0.5.2. is here:
Well Knights, I will swallow my pride this time and concede: You were all right, the sideways attack was a good idea. So good in fact I don't think I'll postpone it months until I figure out a way to overhaul the control system.
From this patch onward, holding left or right while attacking airborne will allow Bonnie to perform a sideways cleave that will halt her momentum, effectively making her hover mid-air for a split second. As well as for nabbing at enemies in the air, you can also use this to save you from a projectile you found yourself dodging too early, or when overshooting a platform.
This patch also fixed the bug where holding any key on your keyboard at all would result in Bonnie running at a constant speed, this bug now only persists using the bound keys the game uses. I have also added a few extra frames to BowFox's shooting animation so she will not pellet you as often.
Enjoy and stick around.
Also, I'd like to thank all of you for the nearly 300 downloads on the previous version.

Tiny update: BoomFox was acting up not throwing her boomerang in the latest 0.5.2 release. She's now wrangled in and the release file has been switched. Sorry for the late fix.
