    NightSky delivers a short but sweet physics puzzle experience. [April 2011, p.76]

    But if you can break through the periodic pain barrier that comes with such exacting physics-based challenges, you'll be able to bask in the warm glow of manly gaming satisfaction. And with around six hours' worth of it to roll through, it'll put hairs on your chest. Not so good if you're a lady, obviously.

    Dark environment and traditional music are great backdrops for this relaxed physical arcade. It's not enough to be the game of the year but Nifflas did not disappoint us. [Issue#201]

  1. That was a experience! The game is so atmospheric: outstanding soundtrack and graphics, that gave you the impression to forget about time and twist! Gameplay is all the same throughout the game but it has an addicitve effect on the player. I must recommend this for all who like relaxing games with an atmosphere! Expand
  2. Soothing visuals and backdrops combined with mellow, atmospheric music help the gamer adapt to the environment and situations that Nightsky's gameplay challenges. It's a sweet and short ride, and some of the levels are easier than others, but it makes for a very fun and entertaining game. Expand
  3. Short and stylish with some interesting and unique physics-based puzzles. Indie fans would enjoy this one, but I only recommend picking this up in a bundle! Expand

    $10 is a steep price for this 2D platform puzzler. Very basic, no complexity, no story, no plot, no replayability, no innovation--Sonic-like in some respects. Expand
