Wizmagonster

The Game

Wizmagonster is a laid-back monster taming adventure game currently in development. The free demo contains roughly the first 30-40 minutes of what is planned as a longer game.

In the world of Wizmagonster, problems are solved with teamwork. Your creature friends can perform actions like lifting, climbing, chopping, thinking, hugging, racing, hiding and more. However, their unique traits make them better suited for some jobs more than others. You’ll have to decide who’s best for the task at hand.

If you want to help a wide range of people, you’ll need to make a lot of friends. Explore every nook and cranny of the wilderness and you just might meet someone with a unique and useful talent. But watch out: the terrain is treacherous!

  

Features

• Explore the wilderness and befriend a wide range of unique creatures
• Overcome challenging hazards with help of your new friends
• Use their special abilities to help people solve problems
• Gain influence among your peers to access new areas
• Bond with your creature friends through shared experiences, and watch them gain new traits and forms as they grow

 

Me

I am a solo developer, and this is my first project. Feedback is greatly appreciated.

Keyboard Controls

WASD or arrows:   move / select

K or X or Space:   interact / accept

J or Z:   back / sprint

O or C:   open menu

 

Some gamepads should work too, but aren't fully tested.

Saving seems to work better in the downloadable version rather than in the browser version.

Tips for Playing

Make friends!

• The best strategy is to make a lot of friends
• It takes energy to overcome hazards and more party members = more energy
• If all your party members run out of energy, that’s game over
• You can still make new friends even if your party is full. You can change your party members by visiting a wishing well

Know your teammates!

• Each creature has a list of traits. You can check these traits in the ‘Team’ tab of the menu
• You can’t check a party member’s traits in the middle of a puzzle, so you’ll have to memorise them
• Status effects like ‘Muddy’ and ‘Dizzy’ greatly affect a creature’s performance. These statuses are visible, so pay attention to how your party members look

Explore!

• The world is full of useful resources
• Items are often hidden in out-of-the-way places
• Wishing wells restore your party’s energy and clear away their statuses
• People and bookshelves can provide useful information

Keep trying!

• If all your party members run out of energy, you’ll have to start again from the last wishing well you visited
• Don’t worry though: all your friends will stay with you and keep any experience they gained
