Tiny Magic is a new development started in 2020. The idea was to provide a game we can size in alignment with our free time.
From a technical perspective, the game logic is written in c (with the help of the fusion c framework, for the first version, recently moved to MSXGL), low level libs are written in z80 assembly.
Tiny Magic is a puzzle game about a young wizard-in-training, who has to solve increasingly dangerous stages in order to pass his final wizardry exam.
This game is designed as an advanced Sokoban like game, with the difference that the player have the capability to play with water bubbles, he can, create explosive balls of water, with which, he can pushes rocks, for instance.
From a level design perspective, we have opted to add dangerous enemies and traps to spice a little the adventure.
