Ynglet is the brand new game about swimming from the creator of Knytt

Ynglet is a side-scrolling platformer the place there aren’t truly any platforms – as a substitute you need to swim and bounce by way of bubbles which can be floating round within the sky to progress “like you’re a space dolphin” (though you positively look extra like an area jellyfish).

It’s being made by the creator of Knytt and and NightSky, Nifflas (aka Nicklas Nygren), and I’d be mendacity if I stated I wasn’t already utterly in love with the drawn artwork fashion. Paired with the music used within the trailer, I’ve determined that I’m going to be obsessive about this game when it comes out sooner or later this 12 months.

Seriously! The music appears like a few of my favorite tracks from Risk Of Rain 2, and that visible design is bloody attractive.

The game’s options embrace: wall dashing, swimming, “lots of unusual creatures doing their own thing”, and “a highly reactive and dynamic soundtrack thanks to Ynglet’s custom and needlessly complicated music software”.

“I designed Ynglet to be a game both for people looking for a relaxed experience and players enjoying a hardcore platformer,” Nifflas stated. “I have made a lot of other games before like Knyt, Uurnog and Affordable Space Adventures but I really hope you will like this game too!”

This time spherical Nifflas’ game is being printed by Triple Topping, and it’ll be launched someday this 12 months on Steam for Windows and Mac.

If you need to try a few of Nifflas’ earlier games, the final one he launched was the musical platformer Uurnog.

John wrote a lot about Knytt, too, calling it “a beautifully made game, with some spot-on platform design, enhanced considerably by superb aesthetics.”
