TeaKnights sends you through colourful, tea-powered biodomes as apprentice knight Camellia Jetsworth. You aim, dodge and shoot along a fixed route, using a weapon that can also transform into a sword. Chain combos build your score and, according to developer Funky Can Creative, change the soundtrack as you play.
