Even though Mixel is still working on 'Creeping Me Out : Hex Night'; A Scorpion Engine created Action/Adventure/Platformer featuring complex levels, a story, enemies and dangerous traps to keep you company. There's another game that's worth keeping an eye and by the same developer, and that's WIZONK; A 4 player deathmatch wizard platformer with gameplay that's regarded as a slight mash up of Fuzzball and Smash Bros. To coincide with this news, not only is there a video of the game being played, but Mixel has also released the BIG Wizonk: Magic Arena update.
And here's the latest about the game. "Wizonk: Magic Arena is a static screen multiplayer only game, supporting 2-4 players, with support for parallel port joystick adapters developed using Earok's Scorpion Engine. This part of Wizonk is free (pay what you feel?), but in time there will be an enhanced, more fleshed out Wizonk+ with a single player / cooperative campaign, available commercially. (Hi Bitmap Soft!)".
Dev Notes :
- This is -the- big Wizonk: Magic Arena update. We have enemies, more maps, music, guest characters, tournaments, special weapons, and much more besides. Significant improvements to gameplay include dash sliding forward, not back.. The ability for various projectiles to rebound or destroy each other, boosts toward the end of a match and instant death critters for when the time runs out.

The video is weird, does not show players 3 & 4
ReplyDeleteI’ve had a couple of comments not knowing how to enable the second pair of players (the 2 joysticks in the bottom left) - I will make that slightly clearer just in case.
DeleteBut they ARE in the video, they just are unseen.
DeleteThanks for the coverage.. 😊 I’ll put together some sort of trailer soon too, it’s difficult to demo a 4 player game. 😅
ReplyDeleteIt is not ;-)
DeleteWill you go back to finishing Creeping Me Out afterwards?
DeleteAlready working on it, and have been in various small ways the whole time. If life would calm down a bit it’d make things easier.
