Man, I love 2-D games. I'm so pleased to see that they're not dead, nor even close. Just after discovering Aquaria, a beautiful representative of the 2-D Party (which, in turn, I found because its graphics are made by the guy who made another 2-D game called Eternal Daughter, which I tried because someone called it the "spiritual sequel to Cave Story," that most splendid of 2-D platformers), I stumbled upon two little gems called Knytt and Within a Deep Forest made mostly by this guy named Nifflas. Both are clever and creative and engaging and yet simple to play.
