Description
When the Spider Queen kidnaps the Princess and all the knights have fallen, what's a kingdom to do? It's time to throw on your wizard robes, grab your wand, and put the only two spells you know to use. Take careful aim with your portals to solve platforming puzzles, defy death, and restore Faedum to its rightful glory. Test your gaming mettle with precision platforming and aiming. Conquer over 65 levels and 5 unique bosses. Hone your skills as a wizard to climb the global leaderboards. Unlock “Hard” Mode after beating the game for an even greater challenge.
