Personally, for me having grown up with "Vem ska trösta Knyttet?", I've always thought naming the game "Knytt" was a slightly awkward as I connect it to Tove Jansson's tale about the Knytt. But I guess it sounds cooler in the ears of people who never heard about the book.

My mum used to read "Vem ska trösta knyttet" for me when I was little. According to Wikipedia (http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knytt), "Knytt" is Swedish for "tiny", so I figured maybe it's some obscure Swedish-Swedish word I just haven't heard of before (I live in Finland, you see). Or maybe it's just another example of how unreliable Wikipedia can be when it comes to translations.
There was a short film based on "Vem ska trösta knyttet" as well. Anyone else seen it, lol?
What's so good about Knytt? There's no challenge, no action and hardly any puzzles. It's just a grey dot travelling from one end of the screen to the other.
Discarded pizza boxes are an indispensable source of cheese.

This much is true. I loved the first game, and once I found pretty much all the KS levels were the same I got bored. It was the atmosphere and setting for me, what made it special was lost in KS.
