I was a little late to the party in discovering the surreal platform stylings of Nicklas Nygren, AKA Nifflas, whose delightful duo Knytt and Within a Deep Forest I loved when I discovered them earlier this year. You may have heard by now that the latest Nifflas game, Knytt Stories, was just released last week or thereabouts, and I've been enjoying it so much I just had to make sure that none of you have missed any of 'em.Knytt Stories also has an additional expansion pack with more levels available, and encourages users to actually create their own. Nifflas' signature style is truly unique, minimalist and both soothing and stimulating at the same time. He designs all of his own ambient music and sound for the games -- which means that fantastic scrabble-scratch-scritch-patter that Knytts and Juris make when they run, jump and scale walls is back for another go in the latest Knytt game.
It's free and the fastest easiest download ever -- it's just a single executable that doesn't get its hooks into your hard drive, so if you've never tried a Nifflas game, you have absolutely no rational excuse not to check out Knytt Stories.
