hmpfand anyone else who may be interested in playing Knytt Stories or getting started editing Knytt Stories levels: collected useful information!
Where to get the KS software:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?main=02Knytt_Stories&sub=03Download
This includes the game software, a couple of levels, and the editor. All of which is entirely free, btw.
Where to get additional levels:
Official levels:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?main=02Knytt_Stories&sub=04Get_More_Levels
The current level release forum:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=39.0
The old level release forum:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?board=48.0
The archive:
http://www.knyttlevels.com/
Suggested strategy for finding levels from the old forum (in case of broken links etc.), and identifying interesting stuff in the humungous and badly organised archive:
Check level recommendations lists and also images in level preview threads and feedback postings in level release threads in the old forum. Then go to the archive and do a search for the author and level there.
"Gee, that's a lot of levels. Where do I start? Can you recommend some?"
Sure:

I'll probably rec some more, later. Most of the levels I particularly love are environmentals, btw, so they're not usually very challenging. I play the occasional challenge level, too, though, and plan to rec a few.
If you want to start editing:
Unofficial editor handbook:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?topic=18.0
(Actually, the editor is so easy to use I just learned - nearly - everything entirely by trial and error. Never used the handbook.)
Editing support forum:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=36.0
Tilesets:
Old forum: http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?board=58.0
Current 'Development Showcase' forum: http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum/index.php?board=26.0
Custom Objects:
http://nifflas.ni2.se/forum2/index.php?board=95.0 (See also the 'Development Showcase' forum linked under tilesets, above.)
Aaaaand... I think that's enough to get you started.
