So it’s just slightly different, even if that pleasant feeling is kind of the same. Except you’re maybe an alien in a rainbow galaxy. Ynglet is a delightful vision of the pure pleasure that comes from a calming walk with good music, great sights, and peaceful thoughts.

This musical touch, on top of the rushing movement, created this calming sense within me as I played it – this mindset where I just took joy in going through movements through this colorful place. While working through it, you may want to take a minute to appreciate the dynamic soundtrack as it responds to your actions and behaviors. Well, ‘ease’ as much as you choose, as the game offers a suite of difficulty options so you can customize what you want to get out of your play time with this game. It creates this desire to flow and move between shapes and spaces, rushing out of the bubbles and pinging around the levels with ease.

You can also dash into walls that will reflect you in another direction, giving you another way of getting around.

You’re free to swim around within these bubbles, but you’ll want to shoot yourself in the direction of another bubble if you’re thinking of leaving this space. You kind of thrust forward instead, swimming through bodies of air and hurtling through the gaps between them. It’s sort of like a platformer, except there’s no platforming involved, in a sense. It's entrancing.Ynglet takes players on a soothing journey to colorful places, having them bound and swim around as some alien sea creature. Ynglet bops along in accordance with what you do. Suddenly, bubbles will sprout colourful rainbows or bloom flowers, or collectibles will explode like multi-coloured fireworks, temporarily painting the screen. It's a gorgeously clean-looking game, made up of strong but somehow cuddly black lines on a plain cream background, as if someone were doodling on parchment paper, and this provides the game with the perfect backdrop for well-placed flourishes of colour. It's really hard to do it justice without motion and music.īut it's how it's put together that really makes Ynglet dazzle.

And all of these overlap and intermingle, creating levels like carnivals full of rides to play on. On top of this there are kinds of trains you can hop on, bubbles that cycle between appearing and disappearing when you dash, and presumably other things I haven't seen yet. And you can only use your dash again after you bounce or land in a bubble. For instance: dashing at one kind of bounce pad will make you travel through it, while dashing at another kind of bounce pad will activate it, ricocheting you back off.

It's also a crucial part of many challenges the game thinks up for you. It allows you to slow time and then point yourself in a certain direction and dash a short distance that way. The most important of these is a dash you acquire early on. Watch on YouTube This is me playing Ynglet.

Incidentally, if you do fall, you go back quickly to the last bubble you activated by waiting on it for a moment or two. The idea, then, is to swim to the edge of a bubble, leap out, and land in another bubble. Outside of a bubble, gravity pulls you down, meaning you can fall to your sort-of death. You swim, but you only ever really control your movement when inside a bubble of some kind. There's no eating here in Ynglet, but you do look a bit like a tiny organism, and that tone, that meditative calm: Ynglet is all about that. You were a microscopic organism and had to steadily eat your way bigger, without getting eaten yourself. Remember it? FlOw was a kind of meditative Petri dish of a game.

It reminds me a lot of flOw, that awkwardly capitalised PS3 game by thatgamecompany, which you probably know for making Journey.

Some meteor crashed into a scene you're likely to see in a microscope, and here we are. What I'm doing there, I don't really know. I'm a shape that swims along and jumps between what I now know are bubbles. You don't need me to go on, do you? Full disclosure: I pinched that description from the Steam page, but I needed it! I have absolutely no idea what's going on in the game. Ynglet is a game about jumping between bubbles like you're a space-dolphin.
