Knytt Underground is the latest release from indie developer Nicklas "Nifflas" Nygren. It is a nonlinear puzzle-platformer set in a massive, massive labyrinth whose sheer size puts any Metroid map to shame. Underground is far larger than Nifflas' previous Knytt games and also the first to focus on story in a significant way. Unfortunately, for all its ambition, Knytt Underground is a pretty bad game, bogged down by large stretches of uninteresting hallways, horrible character art, and embarrassing writing.
