Yer a spellcrafter, Harry!

Magicmaker, a spellcrafting-focused platformer dungeon-crawler letting you be a wizard you've always wanted to be, is available 10% off on GOG.com. That's only $8.99 for the first week.

Magicmaker is powered by an amazing Spellcrafting system that can make nearly anything. Have you ever wanted to shoot poisonous lightning lasers? Throw freezing fireballs? Build turrets that fire waves of miniature suns? Or summon hordes of adorable jelly minions? How about firing lasers that shoot exploding black holes that suck out your enemies' life force? You can totally do that in Magicmaker. With over 2 000 000 of possible spells to craft your possibilities at wrecking mystical havoc are nigh-limitless!

Spellcrafters! Spellslingers! Spellspellers! Get your Magicmaker, for only $8.99 on GOG.com. The 10% off special launch discount will only last until Monday, September 29, at 4:59PM GMT.

The game looks interesting and I love the raw HTML code.

"Finiancial"?

First reaction: Wow, that's unusual release timing.

Second reaction: What an unappealing art style! (To me, this particular type of graphics says the designers just don't care... they can't be bothered to go full-stylized like La Mulana/Guacamelee, or to make something more realistic. They haven't even gone down the path of doing "retro style" well.)
EDIT: Okay, I looked at the larger screenshots. It's amateurish origami/papercraft. Kirby's Epic Yarn for the Wii did the same thing with fabric, only about 1,000 times better.

Third reaction: Well, sounds interesting, I'll have to look at the trailer when I get home from work. If the gameplay's solid, I may go for it despite the art style.

I wish that the description actually gave some idea of how the spell-crafting works, instead of spouting meaningless numbers at us. I assume that "over 2 000 000 of possible spells" means "ten or twenty spells, which you can modify slightly," which is what you get when you try to awe instead of inform.

(Regarding the timing of the release, it was released at 1:00 PM Eastern Time, which is when Steam puts up new games. That's presumably why.)

2.000.000 spells? Yeah, right. Nice try to make a hype. Otherweise monday release is always nice. The only thing I don't like is that most releases now seem to be US time which meens now that a lot of releases in EU will happen late afternoon or middle of the night.

Edit: Could somebody from gog fix their post - again html data there - Thanks!

Is this a roguelike/light ??

And yeah ... I would appreciate the formula used for the number of spells.

Oh, and I hope for many more Monday releases! It's a good way to start the week!

I like the concept, and applaud this trend of games with programmable aspects. I know that's a lot of work to do well.

The artwork looks dreadful in the video, perhaps it works better when the game is running fullscreen. But the gameplay could be fun, along the lines of Rogue Legacy with variable magic. Will have to see how the reviews come back on it.

And thanks for another Monday release! Glad to see GOG stepping up the pace. :)

Am I the only one that gets confused by the overabundance of spells in Diablo, and now this?!

Wonderful game I'm sure, but my brain can't handle the possibilities. XD
