What it lacks in spectacle, it makes up for in coziness. Coming back to it over a decade later, I actually remembered some of the simplistic, silhouetted levels fairly vividly. Its visuals aren't anything remarkable, but they linger like a warm, comforting memory— which, it often has been for me over the years.
Truthfully, much of this game isn't particularly remarkable: the physics puzzles are fine if fiddly, the movement is a little slippery yet satisfying enough, the gimmicks are cute and enjoyable (if not occasionally frustrating later on). It's the singularly gentle vibe that persists, underscored greatly by Chris Schlarb's soundtrack, where the guitars, strings, synths, and occasional horns hardly ever become more than a whisper. The game's intentions never seem to aspire above wanting to be simply fun and cozy, but in those regards, it succeeds beautifully.

Divertido y relajante, los puzzles son muy buenos.
Pretty cool puzzle game messing with negative space.
dude i always find myself coming back to nightsky, its just such a relaxing game to blast through in a day. and while it isn't anything super special, especially in comparison to this dev's other games, i still really love it and hold it close to my heart. there's quite a few cool and unique ideas here that add up to a fun experience each time i play it, and the alternate levels are challenging remixes of the normal levels that really test your skills with the game's controls. really good stuff, no doubt
A shortish physics platformer. Gameplaywise I can tell you it ain't something out of this world, but it has a combination of old flash game with chill dreamy vibes which makes it worth playing.
Simple, but well-designed.
I really enjoyed parts of this game a decent amount, especially the relaxing music and interesting puzzles. However, there were a few other parts that were pretty repetitive because some of the weird physics of the game bug out occasionally.
Sometimes you happen upon a game that's just the perfect salve to a downbeat mood. NightSky is a special kind of relaxing, one where you find yourself talking to... yourself as you puzzle out the many ball-focused physics puzzles. It's a special kind of frustrating, too, but never aggressively so. Even the worst, most-difficult screens were ones that I laughed off as I eventually figured them out. It's probably the chill-ass vibes this game brings.
