Feb. 2025

A beautiful puzzle platformer, cast in a lovely ever-changing set of worlds, in which most of the colour is found in the background. You play as a ball, or sphere, as the game describes it, and you have to use your environment to complete a large collection of puzzles. Some levels allow you to flip gravity, to brake, to sprint or dash, some levels even have pinball paddles for you to control, or contraptions for you to ride. There's tons of obstacles to discover, and in some cases, use to your advantage. Looking at the art style, I had an inkling who developed the game, and lo and behold, I was correct. The same person who created the Knytt series, created this, and it shows with how much passion was poured into it. Honestly, you should really give this game a go, it's criminally underrated and will pose a serious challenge in certain sections!

Great game, kind of hard to 100%. It can get frustrating but nothing outrageous, it's a bit longer than what you'd expect but it's very entertaining if you put something on the background, would recommend.

as simple as possible, yet fun and challenging imaginative levels, with great acoustic soundtrack enjoyed a lot =)

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

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.
