I like Nifflas' games.

I had fun with this.

But I think this may be harder than usual for him.

I don't think I'm going to do the Alternative levels the main ones already got pretty rough on me.

Also worth dusting off Nifflas' other superb platformers, Within a Deep Forest and Knytt Stories - which has one of the great all-time game soundtracks by Nurykabe, maybe now better know for the Stray OST.

I used to carry around a USB stick in high school with a bunch of little indie games on it lol... Nifflas' stuff, Audiosurf, some of Yahtzee's point and clicks...

Control had some of my favorite out of bounds glitching in any game (check this video out for example)

Now I'm buying Control Resonant and making sure to turn off game updates, so I can find my way out of the map before it's patched (what a way to get me to buy an AAA game full price)

theres a free rerelease of it for modern machines on steam & GOG that was released this August. Nifflas is also working on a new platformer called rhythm doggo that has a free, open playtest going on rn

I just bought ynglet and have been having a really lovely time so far! It's by Nifflas, the Knytt dev and looks like a kid drew a microscope slide of pond water from memory. Its movement is really fun, it has very customizable difficulty, had a demo, & is on sale for $3.19 rn so i rlly recommend it
Save 60% on Ynglet on Steam
In Ynglet, you jump, dash, slide, bounce and float your way through an abstract, effervescent sky. Melt into the reactive, dynamic soundtrack, while beautiful colors make every moment a visual treat.

@nifflas.bsky.social Hey Nifflas, is there a definitive version of Within a Deep Forest that will play nicely on a modern computer? I have my old v1.1.4 that I've shuffled around from one PC to the next for like 15 or 20 years now, but it has some limitations, e.g. can't change the window size, etc.

That was very unusual for a Nifflas game.

Knytt stories is a game by Nifflas. It is a kind of MetroIdvania builder, I guess? Came with a robust story creator, and people still make stories for it to this day! Lovely soundtrack.

Oh, that’s fun :) thanks!
Yes, I got all the power cells without any hints or guides or assists. Very well-made game and it makes complete sense that WADF and Knytt would be influences. Now hopefully Nifflas can play it and complete the circle of life (as long as it doesn’t delay rhythm doggo :))

Yo, fellow gamers! Nifflas' classic freeware Metroidvania, Knytt, just got a 20th-anniversary remake for modern hardware! This foundational indie gem, now with an UltraTough mode and a mod from Hempuli, is available for free. A true OG indie experience reborn!

It was a lovely bonus to see this game added to Steam. But I was wondering who 'Bit Kid, Inc’ are (I missed your earlier posts) so I went to their website and found this post about them remaking it and their interview with you - it’s fascinating to read insights into such an early game of yours.

The indie freeware classic returns! It’s been 20 years since visionary Swedish indie developer Nifflas (Rhythm Doggo, Ynglet) released Knytt, the first title in the atmospheric platforming series. Mad...

Check out Knytt Underground from 2012… I love it so much, I started making a clone/homage to it in 2020. Also check out the other games by original developer Nifflas - Ynglet is beautiful and interesting, and their upcoming Rhythm Doggo… sort of Animal Well x GarageBand.

@polygon.com looks for a way home with the 20th anniversary re-release of Knytt Classic, the fully rebuilt version of the classic indie platformer by Niklas “Nifflas” Nygren and remade from the ground up by Chasm and WOLFHOUND developer @bitkidgames.com 🛸🏃 #GamesPR #IndieGamesPR

Hell yes! It's super good to see Nifflas older work come back once more! ^^
