Hello all!
So I'm also a member of a creative writing site called SCP Foundation. (http://www.scp-wiki.net/) It started as creepy works only, but eventually evolved into general paranormal/weird/interesting/sci-fi/creative works. 8)
Well, around Christmas Time they do a "Secret Santa" where someone does something creative for another randomly-chosen SCP member. Most people do Fanfiction or Artwork, I decided to do a Knytt Stories level! (Hopefully he's not also a member of this site :^^: )
I had to make it easy so that anyone unfamiliar with KS would still be able to enjoy it. Having said that, I had my wife playtest it, and she knows very little about SCP or Knytt, and she liked it, so I believe anyone should be able to enjoy it. :)
EDIT: This level has SCP-2660, (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2660)SCP-2548, (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2548) and cameos by SCP-1981 (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1981) and SCP-1193 (http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1193).
There are three secrets to find.
You can get the level here. (http://knyttlevels.com/levels/Abettik%20-%20Small%20Containment%20Problem.knytt.bin) (I used my SCP username, ABETTIK, as my author name for this one.)
Really nice level, short and sweet :)
I got really into SCP a while back, read a ton of articles. Some really clever stuff on that site! My favorite has to be this one though: http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-426
Haven't found any secrets yet, but I made a short LP of my first playthrough:

This was a pretty fun level. I enjoyed it!
One question:
Is the lamp thief and his house an SCP thing, too, or did you make them up for the game?

Good question!
In the SCP universe, there are communities besides the containment Foundation who deal with "anamolous" (supernatural) objects and phenomena. One such group are the An-Artists. (anamolous artists) Stories about them usually have them creating artwork that otherworldly/supernatural/"anamolous" in some way. Like maybe pictures that you can enter and have worlds in them. Or pictures that act as teleporters into space... or houses made of weird geometry that require someone capable of walking on the walls.
There have been many such tales and SCPs on the site over the years, the most notable of which is a group called "Are We Cool Yet?", but this was just supposed to be a generic an-Artist, not someone in particular.
I may have drawn a little bit of inspiration from Ruiz DuChamp (http://www.scp-wiki.net/the-cool-war-hub)
That was a short but neat level. I read quite a lot of SCP articles a few years ago, I really like the idea of using these concepts in actual games :) It's a shame a lot of SCP based fangames are usually one of those generic "endless corridor simulators" when there are so many interesting and creative ideas in the archive.
Challenge V was exactly the same idea I used on the bonus challenge section of my very first level, Legend of the White Elephant. Even so, I failed to recognize it and still fell for it like a doofus X)

Ah, okay!
Those an-artists sound pretty cool. I'll have to check out more of them when I get the time.
