I wonder...
...what has happened to Nicklas 'Nifflas' Nygren(?)

Something like ten years ago I was a big fan of his computer games Within A Deep Forest and Knytt. And one important reason were the ambient soundscapes on those games. It was a great pleasure to play the games even just for the music.

Nifflas also had his own web site, where he generously shared his music and other stuff. But disappearance of his web site made me wonder if he has totally given up with computer games and music. Last update on his SoundCloud account is also dated back to three years ago.

Anyway, those "old" soundscapes can be found now on YouTube:





And maybe that is where one can find him now...

Jolly music! =D

And interesting game concept. I can imagine it could work nicely on a mobile phone, where one could control it by tilting and shaking the phone.

Meat Boy does not look very relaxing! =,D

Worms Armageddon I know, but never played.

Fez looks familiar, and I think I have played it, or something very similar. Knytt by Nifflas was/is also similar to Fez.
