Magic the Wandering

About this game

Magic the Wandering is a Lemmings inspired roguelite puzzle platformer about helping lost wizards find a way through different dimensions.



Learn spells and unlock wizard types as you progress through and try to beat the highest score and level reached. Uncover secret achievements to get some of the more powerful unlocks to help you on your next run or power up your current progress.



The true Lemmings successor.
Every stage has multiple ways of getting to the end and overcome all the obstacles.
Normal mode with more wizards to start with. Challenge yourself with the Highlander mode where you only have one wizard the whole run.



Use different wizard types with their own special abilities.

• learn spells for all wizards to use
  
• modifiers for spells to alter their effects
  
• find and unlock different wizard types useable for subsequent runs
  
• progressive difficulty increase per each level
  
• environment specific hazards and enemies
  
• try to rank up in a global leaderboard

Relive the nostalgia of a Lemmings game with a modern take on it. Prepare your party and venture toward the unknown. These guys are truly lost.

  Demo available now!

  The focus of the demo is to show people how a game like Lemmings used to work. Plus highlight some of the additions made to the format in our game. Demo caps at level 5 and has limited skills to pickup. There is only one additional wizard type to unlock which you'll find just randomly by completing a stage. As to different environments there is 3 types of it to go through. With their own traps and enemies to deal with. We'll keep updating the demo with new interesting features down the road as a sneak peak to the full game. As of now I hope you enjoy the experience and please let us know if you have any ideas or issues you encounter. Regards Mike

  Roadmap

  I think it's only fair to let everyone know the plan regarding upcoming events and release dates. The plan is to have a demo ready just before the October Next Fest. That part is almost done; we're currently making sure it's stable and fun to play. The mission for the demo is to explain the basics of how a game like Lemmings used to work, in case someone isn't as old as I am and doesn't know what that game was about :). We'll also highlight some of the new features added. We haven't set an exact date yet, but it should be available a couple of weeks before Next Fest. As for the rest of the game, we'll see what the vibe is after the demo is out and evaluate how much work is left to do. Ideally, we aim to release the full game by the end of 2024. At the moment, a fair bit of the game has already been implemented, as it's been in development for quite some time. This is the phase where I need to ensure that everything works and is enjoyable. So, there will be a lot of tweaking and adding more fun elements to it. That's about it. I just wanted to let people know when and what's happening. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Mike
