Swim, launch and bounce through this meditative floating platformer. A reactive soundscape creates the soundtrack to your exploration through the playful puzzles of Ynglet's hand drawn levels.
About the story
In Ynglet, you play as a jellyfish-like creature. It lives in a floating bubble with its friends. Unfortunately, a comet crashes into its home and the friends are launched across the world. Now, Ynglet has to travel the world to find its lost friends and help them back home. The story is explained through a short cutscene with no dialog or text. It offers an easy to understand motivation for getting through the levels. Each friend looks and behaves differently, which means there are a lot of fun visuals and interactions possible when trying to help them out of their sticky situations.

Critic Reviews
GameBlast
By Victor VitórioAbstract, beautiful and challenging, Ynglet combines platforming, puzzles, physics, dynamic music and explosions of color to paint a vibrant experience. It is a work of art that knows how to take advantage of simple lines for aesthetics and deep gameplay. In the original release, it was a short game, but the two additional campaigns added make it a much longer and more intriguing journey.
MKAU Gaming
By Sammy HansonYnglet is truly a unique game that needs to be played to experience its obscure but entrancing design, which players may not understand at first, but will find themselves drawn in and still playing long after questioning what it was to begin with. Ynglet will take you on a spiritual journey unlike anything else.
TheSixthAxis
By Thomas HughesA colourful world, an emergent soundtrack and tight controls make Ynglet one of the most memorable indie games I've played in some time. On occasion, the level design could be a little confusing, but it was never enough to ruin my experience. From start to finish, Ynglet is an exhilarating adventure based in a stunning world.

By Simon ParkinAs a single-celled animal, your options are limited – and yet this gem of a game is a masterclass in minimalism.
