lo everyone.

As you may or may not know, Nifflas is a kinda universal artist. Or at least universally talented 'cos aside making very nice music he also likes to draw nice pictures and code phunky games. He also digs time-travelling and teaching bunnies to play keyboards but that's just way off-topic.

Topic is: Within a Deep Forest.

The brand-spanking-new game Nifflas was working on for about 10 months. It's deceptivly simple in design but immensly clever and imaginative. The soundtrack is simply awesome: xTr1m, Gopher, d fast, Doragon, Alterfish Gravity, LPChip, metasonix, Decibelter, Ceekayed, Cdnalsi, troupe and xerxes made music for it  :D  with Atlantis in charge of final mastering. I'm like WOW already.

Click on the links below like good boys and girls and check it out.

I hope this game doesn't have the same creepy tutorial narrator like in #mas2... Couldn't sleep for weeks after that.

I can only say that this game is awesome. Despite from the wonderfull music, the gameplay is a must!

However, there are a few puzzles in this game. Be ready for a good challenge. I've finished this game in about 5 hours, and its really worth the time. Alot of variation, but also a tremendous story in combination with the games evolvement.

Thumbs Up!

That's right! Now I played it for a while and I'm kind of stuck, but it rocks anyway!

I can only give you a small hint (to not spoil the game) which I discovered near the end of the game :P

Near the beginning, there's a place where a light hangs out of the wall. Below that is a door (you move left to enter it)

This place is a little advice center. You get some small tips that might help you come further in the game. For the rest, you're on your own. I'd say experiment with your environment.

I recognize this! Actually it's in the queue to be accepted at the Daily Click, so I'd better get on with it. Weird how the Internet communities I visit are beginning to combine with each other.

awesome game and I'm happy I now have lots of playing time ahead!

I somehow managed to bounce up those platform that the dude tells you to come back to later cos it's so hard. :D
But the bits after that are really hard. :(
Really cool game though. My only criticism so far is that some of the characters are a bit too talkative and I don't have the patience to read everything they say. Also sometimes their bubbles obscure too much of the screen at inconvenient times.

Cool game! Feels kinda retro - I like it... Good atmosphere too...
