6. Nyxques: Kindred Spirits
Developer: Over the Top Games Year: 2009 Availability: Wii Virtual Console, Windows, ios This little known puzzle platformer was released on the Wiiware service. You play as Nyx as she embarks on a quest to save her best friend Icaris of greek mythology. The gameplay is based around multitasking between two different control methods. You control Nyx with standard controls, and you control the environment with the wii pointer: sliding blocks, spinning wheels and flying fire balls are handled easily using your magical telekinesis. Multitasking may sound difficult, but once you get the hang of it the game becomes very engulfing. The game has been praised for its graphics and music, and though there is not much of a story to be had, the rich level design is enough to keep you interested. Nyxquest is easily available from many downloadable game services.
