About this game
MAGE is a magical, action-packed 2D projectile fighter inspired by controller couch party classics. Play with up to 4 players locally or online in fast, explosive rounds with the game’s unique single-stick system and charming pixel art style. Like any good party game, it’s easy to pick up but difficult to master. With only three buttons to learn, your next game night will start faster and definitely end later.
Players point their wands with the left stick, using triggers to either shoot towards or boost away from their wand. This simple system leads to deep strategy, with crazy flickshots and narrow dodges commonplace in the intense combat. And when a player is about to be hit, timing a button press just right will allow them to COUNTERSPELL, siphoning their opponent’s magic to instead power a gargantuan attack of their own! Just be careful they don’t siphon that right back…
With 21 very different playable Mages, there are tons of ways the game’s simple move, shoot, and counterspell inputs are creatively reworked into new and unique ways to play. Between Wind Mage’s redirectable projectiles, Nature Mage’s grappling hook, and Moon Mage’s zero gravity, the magic you choose to master will always be stylish and silly in equal measure.
MAGE features in-depth match customization, ensuring your party has all the control you need. Free for all, 1v1, and team modes are all available. You may also toggle on and off different modifiers, messing with game rules like rounds to win or healing on kill. MAGE’s 200 maps across ten environments can also be toggled on and off, allowing you to pick between randomly traversing them all or focusing on specific map gimmicks.
Made by four close friends learning and studying game development together, MAGE is a classic example of indie gaming at its most passionate and self-fulfilling. A wishlist, purchase, and/or review all go a long way towards supporting our fledgling studio. Thank you!

MAGE Official Soundtrack Available Now!!
Are you a big fan of MAGE's Soundtrack? Do you want to help support the devs of your favorite new indie game? I have great news for you! the official MAGE Soundtrack is available now to purchase on Steam! Buying the soundtrack will go directly to funding the development of future projects, porting MAGE to consoles, and DLC. In case you weren't aware, the MAGE soundtrack is surprisingly in-depth. Each mage has their own unique instrument and theme that only plays when they are alive in the match. These themes help give the mages or personality and makes them stand out and more identifiable. With 21 different mages, that is 5985 unique combinations of music that you can hear in 4 player matches. The MAGE Soundtrack features a curated selection of 32 tracks of our favorite combos. As an extra incentive for anyone that is interested in the soundtrack: if enough people buy the soundtrack on Steam, we will create a recorded version of the MAGE theme! This would be really fun to do but only possible if there is enough interest and support. If you don't want to buy the soundtrack don't worry, it will be releasing on Spotify and other music streaming platforms in the near future so you can still listen to the MAGE music.Read full article on Community Announcements (FunRugStudio)Patch NotesOfficial
