A downloadable game for Windows

The holidays have just started, you feel like you can do anything you want. A never-ending universe of possibilities! What better thing to do than sit in your cozy living room and go knitting!

Knit-Pick is a little game about knitting a scarf out of loops. You can use multiple types of yarn where each yarn has some unique effect and possible synergies. These allow you to knit the best combination of loops to get the highest score. Some yarns may have side effects, where you need to balance the risk of your scarf getting torn and having those extra sweet XP points. With this XP you unlock new types of yarn and needles between runs so the game can loop around while still being fun to play as new possibilities emerge. For every row you knit, you get a chance to buy extra yarn from the shop to replenish your supplies. This introduces a level of randomness to the game, as you need to change your build fairly frequently. 

This is our submission for the GMTK Game Jam 2025. It’s our second time participating, and we're already excited for the next one. We’d love to hear what you think of our game!

Have fun!

Few additional instructions omitted from tutorial: click on the scarf after finishing a row to go to shop, use backspace to undo loop placement and escape to generally stop doing what you're doing :)


PS: DO NOT press enter, we have no idea why it does what it does.

Unbelievably underrated game! Unique theme and fun game play, although the tutorial text is a bit small and I was a little bit confused as to how long each scarf was, could you add breaks to the description text above to make it a bit easier to parse? These are knit-picks though (pun intended) and I really hope more people see this!

If you ever end up updating this I got softlocked in my first run because I sold yarn and it didn't return to the shop ._. (I got softlocked again by buying gold yarn without enough of the other types of yarn >_<) UI wise knowing how many rows of the scarf are left+ loops left in a row would be good too! Seriously though this game is too good to be at the bottom of the game jam depths.

Thank you very much!
