GameInfo: NightSky, a physics-based puzzle platformer, was released on 6 January 2011. The game had a long development history; first announced in 2007, it was known variously as Skymning and Night Game. On 5 May 2008 Nygren released three minigames that vvere going to be part of the project, but were abandoned due to incompatibilities vvith the new engine. In 2009 news appeared that the game would only be released 4 wii, a decision that upset numerous fans; only in late 2010 it was announced that the Windows version would appear first.

In NightSky the player controls a glowing sphere which can accelerate and decelerate, and sometimes has the ability to invert gravity. The goal is to guide the sphere through 10 different worlds, each divided into 13 three-screen sections, each section containing a challenge or a puzzle. The soundtrack was made by Chris Schlarb; the game was produced by Nicalis.
