Magicmaker is an platformer-dungeon crawler where you create your own spells and adventure the way you want to!

As you adventure, you discover different materials that add unique effects to your spells and robes. Combine these effects to create all manner of spells. For instance, combining an Optic Lens (Laser) with a Fire Crystal (Fire) gives you a laser that lights enemies on fire. You can add a bunch of other stuff too, like Crystal Ball (Homing), Explosive Powder (AOE), and Rift Crystal (Teleport) to get crazy things like an exploding laser that seeks out enemies, lights them on fire, and teleports you around.

As the Security Guard of Dörwall Community College (The preeminent wizarding school of the Dörwall area) you must jump, shoot, and explore through five levels to assure the safety of your colleagues and to complete whatever random chores they assign you.
Basically a wizardry-based sandbox with emphasis on spell creation, where you are a wizard and also a security guard of a wizard school and you must do any random stuff people tell you. Oh and there's weird stuff happening around school. Go check that out.

Oh, have I said "emphasis on spell creation"? I'm not joking -- there's a forgetton of materials and all of them do different things, you can even screw with how the spells look. You can also set a spell as "benign" and/or "enchantment". The first one makes your spell weak but destroys the mana costs (though you're better off using your wand), and the second one removes all damage but increases "yellow" effects (ie performance boosts).

Here's an outdated compendium that lists some of the items. Here's a much less outdated video of some spells in action.

aw yus still the merriest bastard around 8). great game, do hope that they consider trying to get it greenlit and doing some massive expansions to it. maybe some editing tools so players can create their own levels, enemies, etc.


gives me a 404 when I try to download.

yeah, currently the latest version download is broken, as a workaround download 0.8.1 and use the manual patcher on it.

so its like magicka with more focus on spell creation and less on everything else?

The bees there crashed my game and I lost a bit of progress.

Last time I played was 0.7.4
Do quests and stuff still reset after you quit?

Apparently the download link on the MagicMaker 0.8.2 page is broken.

Explosive powder on your robe, your spells count towards the revive kill as far as I can tell and if it doesn't, even F grades will one-shot the bee swarm.
