The wicked and ambitious witch Ozzy has stolen the magic objects of the world's best Wizards, thanks to those possessions, you will become the most powerful man on earth. You are Ronnie, Mapuche Wizard, and you have just arrived on the island of Stones Reds, looking for your spellbook that Ozzy has stolen from you. Many witches tried to recover their stolen belongings and never returned. The island is protected by terrible beings summoned by Ozzy and it is rumored that some of those creatures come from other dimensions and even from planets distant.

When you arrive to the Island of Stones the first person you meet is a witch from who Ozzy has stolen a magic pendant. The witch has a key to the castle and will give this to you if you bring her the Magic Pendant. During the quest you will also find some of the other Wizards, some of them are dead, bot those still alive will give you hints about what to do. Already on the beach you will meet Ozzy’s creatures, and you will have to make your way to a huge cave under the castle.

You are unarmed so you have to avoid everything until you find a spell so you can shoot fireballs. Your energy bar is in the top left corner of the screen, and touching enemies will make this go down, but it can be recovered by collecting the “A” boxes. At first glance there seems to be plenty of energy available, but things will toughen up and there are also boss fights awaiting.

When you find the fireball spell you will be able to defeat all the enemies, some takes just a single shot to kill while some has to be hit many times, and you will also be able to shot down weak walls. Other places doors will be blocking your way and to open these you will have to find levers to flick.

Bringing the Magic Pendant to the witch at the beach will give you the key you need to open the castle door and enter the second part, which takes place inside the castle. The game comes in two separate parts and completing the first part will give you the code required for the next one.

Inside the castle the enemies will be faster and tougher. You will also have to use moving platforms to reach places, and a lot of lava has to be avoided. You have to make it all the way to the top of the tower before the final confrontation with Ozzy.

The gameplay does not offer anything we have not seen before, but a nice looking game with good use of colors and some big sprites. Great boss fights and lots of caves and dungeons to explore. 48k support only so the sound is limited.

Available in English and Spanish versions.

The game was made by José Manuel Gris in 2021.
