Oct. 2024

Cool puzzle game with a simple but great story and art style, some puzzles can be a bit annoying though but overall really great game

Aug. 2024

Chill marble platformer with good music and environments. Normal mode is pretty short and easy, but alternative mode aka hard mode is much more difficult. It's not my favorite Nifflas game, but this one is still nice to replay every once in a while. For anyone who's played Within a Deep Forest, you'll probably recognize the intro cutscene and Harara Mountains.

May 2024

NightSky is such a fun puzzle game to beat. I have beaten Normal Mode, & now I have to beat Alternative Mode as well which is still a long way to go for me to pull through. I think you guys should try this game out. Even though it's simplicity in a fun way.

A lot like LIMBO, but instead you are magic ball. It is a fun and chill game.

Jan. 2024

Simple gameplay, but fun when figured out. I'm stuck somewhere, but I think that's more of a skill issue. I have read, however, that this is a downgraded version of some other draft; investigate to find out where to get the original, and supposedly better, one, before you get the Steam version. Those of us who bought it here on Steam first, though, I think have a pretty good mightken game on our hands; still a good game.
