Saira

Saira is the latest exploratory dreamscape platformer from the (assumably) lovable and understated Nifflas, creator of Knytt, Knytt Stories, et al. Sparse and womblike in sound design with plenty of floaty jumps punctuated by scrabbly puzzle solving (some of the programming ones towards the end were a bit taxing). Travel from planet to planet, take in the sights, take a few photos, even play some perpendicular horizontally/vertically scrolling pinball (?). It all translates to a laid back couple of afternoon’s worth of gaming that’s pretty much worth the price of admission, and there’s a generous demo to otherwise convince you.
