About: Nifflas has been making exploration games for years, but his latest, FiNCK, is more of a puzzle game. His game before that, Saira, is an awesome exploration game that I'd highly recommend, but it costs 9 dollars. In keeping with the freeware theme, I'll focus on Nifflas' three older games, which are some of the highest quality exploration games out there.
Within a Deep Forest: Nifflas' first (?) game is about a bouncing blue ball that must stop a bomb from freezing the world. I discovered this game late one night, and ended up staying up well into the morning playing it. There's tons of great platforming and puzzle gameplay, and the graphics are beautiful. There's an almost intimidating amount of awesome stuff to see in this game.
Knytt: Nifflas takes the awesome graphical style of Within a Deep Forest and removes pretty much all of the gameplay. This results in a game where the reward of playing is found in what you see, not what you accomplish. Exploration gaming at its finest. It's like hiking, but in a platform game, which is awesome because there's air conditioning.
Knytt Stories: Knytt with a great level editor, which makes for infinite fun.
