About Knockback: The Awakening

This is early alpha software. Gameplay will change over time.

You and your adventurous buddies are experimenting with some magical trinkets after your last quest when you hear moaning in the forest. You turn and see a hideous bug-eyed zombie wielding a copper frying pan and charging right at you. Instinctively, you throw a nearby rock at the undead creature — and down he goes!

“Hey, that was kinda FUN. What happens if I combine a rock and sticky snail snot?“

This first-person wave defense game is built for maximum fun for one, or groups of two, three, or four. Knockback is filled with magical weapons that enable you to eliminate zombies in your own personal ways. Work with your buddies and have fun defending against hordes of zombies, keep from being overwhelmed, last out all the rounds, and kill the boss for the win. And it’s all about how you do it!

Knockback is a physics sandbox that challenges you to ask yourself “how many ways can I destroy the zombies?” Go ahead play with fire! Throw ’em into a building or smash ’em with a log rolling down a hill. Wanna suck the zombies into a tight ball and zap ‘em with lightning? You can do that. Rain down sticky stones of fire onto their heads? Gotcha covered. Hit ‘em with a giant rolling stone that bowls down the baddies? Go for it!

Now get out there and stick a snail snot rock to an unsuspecting zombie chin!

Friend peer pressured me to play this garbage game. It has 13 other reviews all by 10 year olds. The man thaat pressured me into playing this game is 25 years old. I can't believe it. This game has horrible music, which was fine since I muted it. The problem was the only mechanics that would have made the game maybe a even the tiniest tineiest bit interesting were janky and did not work. This guy probably hasn't even updated this game since the last time I played which was early 2020. I regret everything. Maybe a 10 year old would have fun but if they did they should be checked out by a doctor. Also I have tried to erase this unfortunate day from my memory, but to no avail. Don't do it. Sincerly, My last remaining 10 braincells.

very nice game!!! the mechanics to create new spells is just awesome!!! Cons are the missing tutorial :) and the wiggly movement, but the Pros are very huge! Tutorial: you can forge new spells at the anvil in the city and you need to upgrade skills. Thats all, maybe it was to hard for me without explanation :) Search some friends and go for it! (solo is less fun but you cant miss it, to create spells, like in this game, ciao magicka here i am Knocking* you away. Are you Awake* now :) I cant say it enouth, creating spells is better than Two Wolds I and II and Magicka together!
