With a name likeFire Nuclear Crocodile Killer, do you even need my recommendation to go on? It’s a puzzle-centric platformer coming to us from Nifflas, who also lovingly crafted such awesome independent games asWithin a Deep Forest,Knytt, and most recently,Saira.

Remember the oh-so-satisfying throwing mechanic inSuper Mario Bros. 2? There’s a lot of that inFiNCK. Remember those dreadful bombs you had to use to destroy otherwise impassable barriers? Those are here too; thankfully, the implementation is far better.

While I personally don’t think there’s any toppingKnyttStories, at this point, I’m willing to give the go-ahead to just about any Nifflas-developed game. This latest one is no exception.
