It’s criminally cheap, so absolutely grab this right away.Īll Buried Treasure articles are funded by Patreon backers. A highly reactive and dynamic soundtrack thanks to Ynglets custom and needlessly. It’s also something I’d really love to see appear on Switch. Once the main campaign is over (a few hours), there are some bonus tougher levels to try, and knowing Nifflas it can only be a matter of time before there are tools for people to make their own levels. This is a complete pleasure, and a calming, soothing experience to play. ![]() ![]() In some ways Ynglet feels like a triumphant realisation of all he’s learned over the last 15 years, incorporating gorgeous art by Sara Sandberg, and what Nigren describes as “needlessly complicated music software.” That’s one heck of a balance to find, but I’d say has always been Nifflas’ core skill, across all his delightful projects. It’s tricky enough to keep your focus, but forgiving enough to always feel approachable. But Ynglet merits the term: to play it is to sink beneath its surface, to feel surrounded and encompassed by it. I detest the use of the word “immersive” when it comes to video games, used as it is to mean either “realistic” or “distracting”. This is displayed in a serene microbiological world of colourful bursts and swirling shapes, accompanied by a reactive electronica soundtrack that moves from somnambulistic, meditative movements to bombastic beats. What’s so different here is the gentleness that permeates all aspects, as you boost and drift, float and glide, even when having to perform reasonable deft moves to deflect off a red line in order to bounce on a blue platform, to leap over an obstacle and safely enter the distant cell-like blob. The goal is to learn how to move your character, and then use this movement to negotiate sprawling 2D levels in order to reach pick-ups, and find the final goal. You play as what I assume to be some sort of microscopic organism, capable of leaping and gliding, trying to move between floating shapes that feel more like cells than anything else. But this time perhaps as detached from the foundations as they’ve ever been, a game that is much more about swimming than it is jumping, split into discrete levels that are almost puzzle-like in their design. Unlike any other platformer game, this one is without a platform. You will play as a jellyfish-type creature that floats through a hand-drawn world full of bubbles and plenty of spacious areas to explore through. Ynglet, like most of Nifflas’ games, is a perspective on a platform game. A relaxing and meditative adventure awaits you in the game Ynglet. ![]()
