Game Play
Basics
Safely make it to the level exit by walking and jumping across platforms, or by shooting out magical energy and then teleporting to the location of the energy ball.
Defeat all enemies on each stage using same-color magic to unlock the exit portal.
Avoid running into enemies which are not frozen, avoid spikes, and do not run into the colored hexagon icons unless you have a magic energy ball floating.
Magic types
Your default magic type is green, which allows you to destroy green enemies, either by hitting them directly, or by shooting and then teleporting to the shot down a path that runs through a green enemy.
Shooting your magic through a blue hexagon operates similarly to regular magic, except it can take out frozen enemies.
Shooting your magic through a black hexagon operates similarly to regular magic, except it can take out black birds.
This Magic Moment
Some levels have blue boxes with arrows on them.
If the arrow moves in one direction it means any magic that hits the box will change directions to move in the direction the arrow points.
If there are multiple boxes in a row then the magic can repeatedly change directions.
If the arrow spins around it means the magic ball will stop at the box & the box acts like an anchor which you can teleport toward.
Enemies
There are 3 types of enemies in this game: green, blue, and black.
Each enemy can only be defeated by one type of magic.
You must either hit enemies directly with a ball of magic energy, or shoot a magic energy ball and then teleport through a path which runs into the enemy.
Green enemies can be defeated using regular magic. You may not touch them.
Blue enemies are frozen. You can defeat them with blue magic by sending your regular magic through a blue hexagon. Unlike the other enemy types you may run into blue enemies & on some stages you need to use them as temporary platforms.
Black birds can be defeated by sending your magic through a black hexagon & then having the magic directly hit the bird, or then teleporting into the bird. You may not run into the black birds.
Levels
This game has 18 levels which are unlocked sequentially.
You can go back and replay previously beat levels at any time.
Winning vs losing
You win if you take out all the enemies and then safely exit through the exit portal.
You lose if you run into spikes, if you run into an enemy other than a frozen enemy, or run into a hexagon while not having active magic fired.
This game offers unlimited continues, starting you at the beginning of any level you lost.
Tips
Enemy order
In most cases the order which you need to attack enemies is straightforward.
Simply attack the first enemy you encounter or the first you can encounter with the correct magic type.
The three exception to the above rule of thumb are:
Sometimes you need to defeat enemies which are high on the stage before falling downward.
Some locations are easy to get stuck in & require you to defeat the enemies near those locations last.
Some of the frozen enemies may be needed to be used as a temporary platform to reach higher locations.
Colored hexagons
You normally can not walk through the colored hexagons with 2 exceptions:
You can safely pass through a colored hexagon while in the warp or teleport form.
You can safely pass through a colored hexagon while walking if you already have a ball of magical energy out. On the final stage you have to walk through the top right blue hexagon after firing magic leftward so that you can fall right and warp across through the bird to the level exit when the magic is close to parallel with the black bird.
Your magic can pass through multiple hexagons.
If your magic goes through multiple colored hexagons it will pick up the magic of the final hexagon it passes through.
Enemies & you
Magic energy balls that run into you disappear.
Magic energy balls which touch the wrong class of enemy can pass through them and onto the next enemy.
Aiming
You shoot straight on a horizontal line in whatever direction you are facing.
Blue boxes can change the direction of your shot.
If you can not hit an enemy directly there are 3 options:
Get your energy ball on the opposite side of an enemy and then teleport through them (either while the energy ball is moving or in a fixed anchored position).
Use your jump and energy balls to create a higher location and then shoot from a higher platform or a platform above you (if the enemy is above you).
Fall off a platform and shoot at an enemy while you are falling.
When you teleport to defeat enemies make sure your teleport path does not cross through spikes or you will die.
Similarly, if there are spikes below the location you are teleporting to and you are teleporting to a location suspended in space make sure you turn quickly after teleporting to avoid the spikes.
Target Audience
The game is suited for players who like simple room escape games.
The game has no adult themed content.
