The player controls a young wizard who has to complete several levels. Enemies are defeated by using different ranged spells that can be found throughout the levels, with different firing patterns and power. Some levels require players to pick up a certain amount of items while other have a boss battle.
Reception[]
In a brief review for GamePro, Captain Squideo remarked, "The traps are basic, the bosses big, slow lugs. The one-button control is too reminiscent of 8-bit games. The sound effects and weak music add little, and the graphics are cartoony." He gave it a 2.5 out of 5 for graphics, 1.5 for sound, and 2.0 for both control and funfactor.[4]
Maniac gave it a 62 out of 100.[5]
