Hi.
I really liked NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits. It's probably up there with the best puzzle platformers on WiiWare (like Hydroventure/Fluidity and And Yet It Moves)
It has 12 stages and hidden relics, 20 of them to collect for a secret.
It felt a bit short, but the level design was good, with a great balance of puzzling and platforming. Later stages get pretty challenging, but a fair amount of checkpoints and energy refills help a lot.
The controls are pretty good, and the music is great. The graphics ain't bad either. Good apocalyptic desert atmosphere.
And the reward for collecting all relics is awesome.
Anything else you want to know?

PS. I looked at my stats. Took me exactly 3 hours to beat the game with 14/20 relics. Then I enjoyed spending some more time to complete the game.

Is NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits a part of the Kid Icarus universe?

No, it is an original game by Spanish developers OVER THE TOP GAMES.
The only similarity it shares with Kid Icarus is the Greek mythology setting, the wings, and the 2D platformer gameplay.

Yeah, NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits is a fantastic WiiWare game. Great graphics, wonderful music and great gameplay. It's also fun in multiplayer with one player controlling the character and the other doing the pointer control things like holding blocks. Hilarious since my sister managed to squash me serveral times. So great game and well worth the 1000 Points.
