Kickstarter launched for game featuring a strange team up duo, The Wizard and The Slug
0The strangest love story ever told, now on Kickstarter.
Independent solo developer Silkworm launched a Kickstarter campaign for their game The Wizard and The Slug on March 28. Now three days in, the campaign has raised over 20% of its funding goal.
Why can’t a slug be a hero? A question rarely asked perhaps, but interesting nonetheless.
Bucking the trend in terms of traditional protagonists, the game puts you in the role of a shell-less gastropod. When meeting a mysterious Wizard, the slug soon finds itself caught up in an adventure that might turn darker than the colorful, cartoony art-style on the game’s surface.
At its core, the game is a story-driven 2D action platformer with plenty of humor and charming characters to meet and team up with. As your one constant companion, the Wizard will independently support you in various ways, mainly by casting spells during boss battles. Roam a fantasy world, make friends and battle thy enemies!
