A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Buy Now$7.99 USD or more

In Ynglet, you jump, dash, slide, bounce and float your way through an abstract, effervescent sky. Melt into the reactive, dynamic soundtrack, while beautiful colors make every moment a visual treat.

A Floating non Platformer

In this experimental platforms, we did away with the most basic building block of the genre: The platforms.


Move to Groove

With a dynamic, reactive, beautifully complicated soundtrack, you'll make a new melody with every move you make.

Mesmerizing Movement

Learn new ways to wrap your mind around interlocking space, riding down slipstreams, dashing into reflective pads, and resting in safe, secure bubbles.


Doodles Come to Life

The hand-drawn art style evokes every absent-minded drawing you ever made in the margins of your school notebooks.

Fluid Difficulty

Quick respawns and granular difficulty means challenge comes in all shapes and sizes-- even the shape and size of an amoeboid squid-thing.

Beautiful game, it's not my cup of the for the kind of game, but the visual and the mechanich are very cool and neat!

Yet another game by that there Nifflas, where I feel I've got to shout from every rooftop going "why aren't you all playing this you ***********s!". Neat neat neat neat neat.

so so so good. would highly recommend! super fun way to kill a few hours.

This was a very intriguing game!  

This was truly an incredible "platforming" game with an amazing flow and gorgeous visuals, definitely a gem worth picking up. 

(Wrote a bit more to post on Backloggd and other review sites as well: https://trello.com/c/bIFU5pNn/64-ynglet)

Awesome game, very good on Steam Deck!

Amazing concept for a game... If you ever make an x86 version too, I would love to support this game. Other than that, great work <3

Music/Volume option, plz

This is so great, so Beautiful! I'm very enjoy on it, even now already early morning and it make me throw out the sleep...

But I still love it. ❤ Thank you for this game~

Short and sweet. Beautiful art, music, and platforming that is creative and fun. Leaves you wanting more. 

Amazing game, I'm glad I've finally played it.

Smooth and relaxing gameplay, and I love the responsive sound design/music, great job ! 

This game is great. I followed Nifflas since Knytt Stories, he's a genius !!!!!

this game was so fun! the artstyle and vfx were some of the best I’ve ever seen in a game. stunning attention to detail.

the platforming is super fun and fluid, and the game constantly introduces new creative ways to use its minimalistic mechanics.

This game is beautiful and fun, thank you for making it! It was well worth the money and time.

I loved the level with the squares that were also walls

Does not run on Windows 10, we get a pale or white screen only.

it works for me, and im on windows 10. i did have to install a dependency, so try downloading it through the itch desktop app

What dependency?

its probably the visual studio C++ redistrib. go to download page and look right below main download, the dev links the microsoft dl page

Installed it, but it did not solve it.

With the second try it worked, It's the poop thing about Intel-like processors: there's 3 flavours. Install the x64 on a modern i5/i7. The x86 will not work.

I can play the 2013 game jam version, but when I try to open the main game, I'm just getting a white screen? 
(The game jam version is very nice btw!) 

it works for me, and im on windows 10. i did have to install a dependency, so try downloading it through the itch desktop app

That worked! Thank you! <3

Did not know that Nifflas worked on this game. Is there by any chance some kind of dark mode for the color palette?

This was so much fun! The levels are so pleasant to look at. You've done a fantastic job here :)

Wow looks very pretty O.O

Looks incredibly satisfying. Everything about this is impressive!

Ynglet has had a favourable review in The Grauniad!

Drop-dead gorgeous, feels great to play, and a really cool unique movement language. I had a ton of fun exploring the levels and finding all the doodads!

Hey Triple Topping, could you help me get my gamepad working on macOS Big Sur? I've tried this on a Nintendo pro controller over Bluetooth and a PS2 controller over USB. Steam recognnized both conntrollers and I was able to configure my controller as a gamepad in Steam settings, but Yngnlet doesn't respond to any innputs from the gamepad at all.

answering my own question! you need to follow the instructions here: https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/2/3004429475624592660/ This only works for Intel macs running Big Sur.

May I ask what technical reasons cause the Mac version to only be available on Steam?

(+1)

I played this on Steam and honestly I'm in love!

(+1)

At first I thought this said Yinglet, which is well... I'll let you all search that up yourselves.

Haha 😅 wow what is that thing?

(+1)

Thank you !

very nice

This belongs in a museum, the tech itself is as amazing as the game.
Playing in Copenhagen B)

I loved the prologue, this is the kind of aesthetic I relly like and try to work on. Work perfectly on Linux with Wine.

I loved the demo that was on Steam a while back. This version doesn’t seem to have working sound on mac though, which is a huge bummer since the sound design is great.

(+1)(-1)

We have not heard of this before, so Simon is just trying to see if he can recreate it on the Mac, if you can give us more info on what Mac you are running on it would be helpful :)

Hi ryan
Totally, audio is a must for Ynglet.
I tried playing it on our office Mac and had no problems with the sound. It would be super helpful if you could specify what Mac you are running on, and hopefully we'll be able to fix the problem. The easiest is probably to write me at support@tripletopping.com.

(+1)

Hell Yeah! Just played the prologue its soooo cool

(+1)

In comparison to other Nifflas games, how large do we project this game to be?

(+2)

Depending on who plays 2-4 hours of gameplay, so it’s not the biggest Nifflas game :)

(+1)

Linux version coming? I'll give it a try on Wine though

Won't run at all :(

(+2)

Actually, yes it will. Wine was being weird. I don't have a gamepad though :(

(+2)

Oh cool you made it work on Wine, and yes Gamepad is needed :/ 

(-1)

Only real gamers have gamepads. ^.^

It could be, he made it in Unity, and he has win in the download demo file name.

(+1)

This was reaaaally cool. Love the art style, the sounds and the overall flow. Lots of identity in this game !

Thank you so much <3

So wonderful, play like a charm and I so love to just play around with the sounds you can make while playing! Looking foward to the realese

Thank we will let Nifflas know for sure :D 

Yoooo this looks cool.

The game cant run 

Oh no! That’s not supposed to happen. What happens when you try to run the game?

PC or Mac?

(+1)

When i run the game , it got white screen and nothing going . I play by PC

I immediately get a Unity crash when attempting to run Ynglet.exe (in the Ynglet folder, not in the Game Jam folder).

Exact same here
