''Within A Deep Forest'' is a platforming game by [[Nifflas]], the man behind ''[[Knytt]]'' and ''[[Knytt Stories]]'', with a unique protagonist and an extremely simple concept.
 
You are a ball. You can, by completing certain objectives which are not given to you, acquire new materials from which to form yourself. The overarching story is that you must send yourself back in time to stop a mad scientist from detonating a bomb which will exterminate all life on the planet.
 
Notable for its simple graphics, virtually limitless exploration of the game world, and breathtaking music. You can find it [https://web.archive.org/web/20130102180955/http://nifflas.ni2.se/index.php?page=1004Within+a+Deep+Forest here.] A very nice 20-minute speedrun of the game, played by Nifflas himself, can be watched [https://web.archive.org/web/20110618161750/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-2125611485488951305# here].

=== This work contains examples of: ===
 
* [[Bad Future]]: The Future. Dr Cliche has won in this future, and therefore everything is frozen over and bleak.
* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]: You can't solve a puzzle/progress as your current material? Suicide and pick a new one before you regenerate at the nearest [[Save Point]].
* [[Eleventh -Hour Superpower]]: The final form you can pick allows you to fly with careful timing of your button presses.
* [[Escort Mission]]: In Shinock Reign's Tower.
** And you can die during it of course - from the escort (a cute little spider) itself!
Line 22:
* [[Metroidvania]]: An unusual mix of a bouncy ball and a no combat style, but it fits damn well considering each new ball form will allow you to progress to new areas.
* [[Minecart Madness]]
* [[Morally -Ambiguous Doctorate]]: Dr.Cliche. His name is particularly tongue-in-cheek about this.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: You will die a lot, especially in glass ball form. Save points being frequent (Usually) and the charming atmosphere make it less frustrating though. [[Scrappy Level|Usually.]]
* [[One -Hit -Point Wonder]]
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: You're the prototype bomb, but you ended up as a failure.
* [[Scenery Porn]]
* [[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]: The main forest area in the future. Almost everything is frozen over, including the water - required to proceed.
* [[This Looks Like a Job For Aquaman]]: The [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Pathetic Ball]] has a very specific use.
* [[Time Travel]]
* [[Tutorial Level]]: Harara Mountains. It's entered in a completely separate area to the main game.
Line 34:
* [[Underwater Base]]: {{spoiler|The very last area.}}
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]: You can choose several materials to use to progress, ranging from your standard rubbber superball, the easily-shattered glass, steel, and ''snow''. There are far more to choose as well, though [[Metroid|Spider]] isn't one of them.
* [[Well -Intentioned Extremist]]: Dr.Cliche's plan is to [[Kill It Withwith Ice|freeze the world]] in order to prevent it from being torn by war. Was the future really ''that'' bad to him?
* [[With This Herring]]: Again, you're a ball. Who's going to stop a bomb from going off by bouncing around.
