Ynglet is a stunningly beautiful platforming game without platforms, and by golly, it is quite something to play. The concept sounds incredibly counterintuitive on paper, but once you start playing the game you immediately discover the creator's fully encompassed vision.

So instead of working as a traditional platformer, the game instead takes a top-down perspective and features tiles that your character can essentially flow from one to another. It is incredibly smooth, one of the most satisfying movements you'll find in a game, and truly feels like water gliding through the air. As the game goes along, additional gimmicks are added to the game, and most importantly a dash function which many of them play on. These ideas work together so well that it seems like a jigsaw puzzle that's continuously being completed; it all starts from a humble beginning and continues into a dramatic finish. I think my only complaint is that the dash seemingly cannot be canceled when activated, it might help the flow even more if you could do so.

Now when I say this game is stunningly beautiful, I absolutely mean this with sincerity. It's probably one of the most gorgeous games I have ever played and truly feels unique in its presentation. The art style I guess you could somewhat refer to as evolved minimalistic sketches, and as they come together it creates something truly remarkable to look at. Alongside the visuals comes a stellar sound design that works well with the movement, which is of course highly important for a platformer.

Overall, Ynglet is one of the most impressive indie platformer games that I have seen, I would definitely recommend it both for the completely unique gameplay, as well as the absolutely mesmerizing art.
