For anybody that hasn't heard about it already, Nifflas (the creator of such titles as Knytt, Knytt Stories, Saira, and FiNCK, is working on a new game.

This is a game about I'm creating for the documentary filmmakers Oskar&Oskarsson and their coming film The Great Work. The game will be a short atmospheric two dimensional platform game with alchemy related puzzles.

The game will be free, and seems to feature Nifflas' signature puzzle/platforming gameplay and gorgeous art and music.

Not too much info just yet but I will be keeping my eyes peeled.

Swimming? In a Nifflas game?

That is almost revolutionary.

found this thread on Nifflas' forum

The game is doing fine! Right now I'm not developing as christmas is for meeting up with the family, but the 5th I'm back in UmeƄ and will resume work on this. The game is missing some graphics, a little audio, and the graphical profile the documentary film uses will also have to be applied to the game's menu system. I think I have approximately two weeks of work to finish it up, so by the 20th or something I expect to be complete.

Now, of course, since this game will help market the documentary film The Great Work, it will not be released right away. For maximum effect it will need to wait until the documentary film is being released. After the 20th of January, I'll resume working full time on Knyttwadf, and I will spend a minimum of a year on that game.

I just found out that his physics-based puzzle platformer Night Sky was recently released for Windows. This pleases me greatly, I'd thought it was going to be a Wiiware exclusive!
