Ynglet is a short, fun little platformer with some interesting mechanics. I liked it quite a bit.
Visually Ynglet looks amazing. The style is unique and well realized. Everything is rendered as simple lines which draw and erase procedurally in a very satisfying way. All of the mechanics in the game are also well represented with simple colors and shapes, which makes understanding those mechanics easy and natural.
The "world map" in this game is cool, as it is a stylized representation of Copenhagen and each level takes place at a landmark in the city. This is a cool conceit that gives the game a bit more personality than it might otherwise have.
The audio engine in Ynglet is also cool, it is very dynamic and matches what is happening on-screen perfectly.
Ynglet only has a few inputs, but it does a lot with them. You have minimal air control on a "jump" and an air dash that interacts with obstacles in the environment in interesting ways. The platforming is very floaty, but it feels great to control.
New mechanics are introduced in very simple introduction levels and then expounded upon in longer, more challenging levels. They all feel familiar, but are unique in this implementation and are used in interesting ways.
This game is really charming and great little platformer. It is fast to play through and does some cool things with its mechanics. Definitely worth checking out!
