Thanks @KnucklesSonic8, I'll be doing that for sure. But it's ok if the puzzles become a little difficult, I can help him solve them if there beyond his abilities. As long as the gameplay is good, he should be into this for awhile.

Glad I could help. I'm sure you'll both enjoy it!

The animations and graphical style look great in the screenshots I've seen, are they? And for 298 blocks I hope this has some length to it, that's just a hair away from being as many blocks as OoT on VC.

They are.

I personally wish the game lasted a bit longer, but it's still worth playing through. I kind of miss it, actually.

Why do you miss it, did you do away with your Wii? Well at least there's hidden objects you can search for, that will add a little more length in replay value. (<:

No, nothing like that. I still have the game. It's just, I don't have a lot of motivation to pick it up again. Aside from speed runs, of course, but I would need someone else to compare times with.

What's the cheapest titles ever?

It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

Which of these three titles would you choose to purchase first, why or why not?
1) And Yet it Moves
2) Fluidity
3) Art of Balance

I would've listed World of Goo, but it'll most likely be a must buy for me anyways.

And Yet It Moves is my favorite out of that bunch. Aside from the awesome puzzle/platformer hybrid gameplay, the art and score for the game are both top notch. Very creative game, I highly recommend.

art of balance is kinda perfectly balanced.
pun not intended.
getting to 100% in single player is a fun, relaxing experience.
light brainwork.
not too hard, but not too easy either.
not too long, but not too short either.
very polished game with shiny graphics and smooth soundtrack, just as one would expect from a shin'en game
once you'e through, there's always 2 player mode to come back to.
but, honestly, the single player mode lacks replay value... and i wish it had 1 or 2 more worlds.
8/10

need to get fluidity myself tomorrow.

and yet it moves is probably the best of the bunch, although the story mode is over way too soon.
but the gameplay is just so smooth, the controls and physics are great, the audiovisuals are whacky and get really crazy as you progress through the story (basically you just wake up in a cave, find your way into a forest, get bitten by a poisonous snake and then have a lsd trip through the jungle.)
the game has plenty of other modes, achievements, highscores, time trials, basically lots of replay value.
9/10

If you have the points go for Fluidity. In all the lacklustre releases on WiiWare this true gem has been buried. It's a superb game with puzzling, exploration and plenty of replay value. It's a great game and very absorbing and makes good use of the Wii's motion controls. The story book visuals are excellent and its surprising how much they can make you care for the well being of a pool of water!

Thanks guys, I'll take your personal reviews into consideration when purchasing my next WiiWare title. I'll most likely purchase them in this order:
1) And Yet it Moves
2) Fluidity
3) Art of Balance
(And World of Goo definitely sometime in the future.)

I've already purchased MatMM and I'm into this niche title more so than most WiiWare. I think I've discovered the other four best niche WiiWare titles above. But can anyone comment on Lost Winds or it's sequel?

LostWinds was amazing, the only problem was it being way too short. Even with collecting all the totem poles (the only sidequest in the game) it took me only 5 hours to 100% the game.

LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias is a much better game, and not that short. But the added map feature made it easier to complete than the first one, so it took me around 5 hours again to fully complete the sequel.

If you liked Max & the Magic Marker or And Yet It Moves (another two innovative 1000pts platformers that are kinda short) then you'll probably like LostWinds 1 & 2 too.

I still have to pick up NyxQuest.

Alright, I've got the 1200 pts. needed to purchase Fluidity. But now due to @SKTTR's recommendation I'm torn between this or And Yet it Moves. I can't decide between the replay value of Fluidity or the uniqueness of And Yet it Moves. Can anyone please help make this decision easier for me?

Bought Hydroventure (Fluidity) today. Seems to be the longest game of em all. Lots of secrets, collectables, exploring, adventure and puzzling, all combined into one unique, polished and goodlooking game. Good chances that I'm going to like this just as much as And Yet It Moves or even better.

There's only one way for you to go anyway: If you're interested in these games, watched some video footage, liked what you saw, then get 'em all.

I never regretted getting the two LostWinds games. They are damn short and easy to complete, and you should play them in order, but graphics, gameplay, puzzles, story and music are really good. The only issue I have is that there's no third game to conclude the story. No real end to the series, you know, it's always "to be continued". I really hope the developers have a third game in the series for WiiWare announced soon.

And Yet It Moves.... Art of Balance.... World of Goo.... etc.... They're all among the finest on WiiWare. Hope you like them just as much as I do.

I decided to purchase Fluidity today as well @SKTTR. I figured since I had exactly 1200 Wii pts. left I'd purchase it first. So far I'm enjoying the gameplay physics and art style. But I'm having trouble with the tutorial, at the point where your practicing how to make your pool of water jump to collect the orbs of water. I can't seem to make my pool jump high enough to collect the two highest orbs. Should I try adjusting my Wiimote sensitivity or does anyone have a better suggestion?

I think you just need to work a little on your timing and get used to the controls.
