Don't get me wrong, it ain't Contra or anything. What it is is a pretty challenging 2D platformer with good controls and level design. In terms of difficulty, imagine the later levels of Klonoa, but the challenge comes from the pure platforming, with enemies and puzzles being quite secondary.
Think of Pit in Smash Bros., and how between his five jumps and his gliding ability the b***ard is just unkillable. Nyx has similar mobility, but the difference is that her game is about weaving between obstacles to get to the next platform. Also, while you're maneuvering Nyx herself, you often have to use the pointer to hold or move threats. So you've got Nyx gliding in mid-air, avoiding the harpies, with her glide meter about to empty and only one jump left, but in order to land you have to use the pointer and lift a column that's in your way. You usually have to do two, sometimes three tasks simultaneously. And the platforming itself is often pretty tight, with only narrow windows of safety or room to maneuver.
The nice part is that instant death is rarely a punishment, and checkpoints are common, so you can make two or three mistakes before having to replay the last minute or two. So feel free to make errors to your hearts content. But again, you'll need to get pretty good at platforming and multi-tasking to get past the third or fourth level.

Great game. The repetitive environments and music don't bother me, since they're so damn pretty to begin with.
I was making good progress on this game until I bought Little King's Story... |
That's fair. The WiiWare Game of the Year must bow to the Wii Game of the Year.
'Tis only natural.
