Mark Johns considers this his best work. There's a reason for that. Standard Bits is pure. It's the first kiss under the desk in Kindergarten. It's jumping off a fifty-foot cliff into a river while blown. It's an attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. It's the subtle, asexual infatuation you had with The Secret Of Mana's level designs when you were four.
Chivalry is Not Dead is a short indie graphic adventure with fairly entertaining dialog and cartoony graphics; you play Phlegmwad, the assassin of Lord Horrible, sent to kill the Queen of Everything. When I say "short," there are only about 8 scenes, and if you do the absolute obvious thing (go kill the Queen), you can finish it in about 5 minutes.
From a design perspective, what's interesting is that it leans in the direction of bushiness.
