A downloadable game

THIS IS A NON PROFIT FAN-BASED PROJECT!

Kid Mystic is owned by Hamumu Software! Please go and support the official game and their other works! You won't be disappointed!

This project is my love letter to Hamumu Software and a game that holds a special place in my heart. One of the largest reasons I set out to become a game developer was from playing this game back in the day (Egames version WOO)  and I always wanted to honor this game in my own way. This has truly been a dream of mine and I finally had time to give it attention! Anyways, sappy stuff out of the way...

Kid Mystic (now old and gray) must once again don the Wizard Robes and slay a few baddies! This demo consists of 5 Levels with a Boss Level wrapping things up! Fight your way to victory or stop and look at the scenery! It's up to you, I just made the thing! 

This Demo is more of a proof of concept than an actual demo. Purely made for the love of the original game and to test and improve my skills as a game designer. I had a lot of fun making this and I hope you enjoy taking a quick romp through an alternate universe where Kid Mystic 2 was released!

As this is a proof of concept, I put in a lot of systems present in the original game that I didn't get to fully flesh out. This results in some things being present that do not function ( Saving and Loading as an example). As this is something I'm not going to get to actively work on much I feel like I should clarify that this isn't a complete game. There were features I either didn't get to implement or had to cut due to time constraints.

--Features and elements that were cut and/or missing--

  • Saving and Loading ( For a 6 level game it felt a bit overkill )
  • Dynamic Lighting ( Did not have time )
  • Spitter Death Animation ( Needed a rehaul, did not have time )
  • Mushlord sound effects ( Honestly forgot to finalize. Will probably patch in )
  • Secret 6th level ( Did not have time )
  • Dialogue System ( Partially done, but did not have time )
  • Some of the more complicated events like spawning enemies ( Did not have time )
  • More custom enemies ( Did not have time )
  • A few more spells ( Did not have time )

If the project is well received I may come back to it and flesh out more bits. I can't promise I'll ever make this into a full game, but I wouldn't mind revisiting this at a later date to add more content.

Okay so

The game was really fun, and I absolutely adored rediscovering Kid Mystic with this kind of visuals. It was a pleasure to go through, but I do admit I would have loved to learn that money is useless *before*.

The level design is really nice, and I the whole gameplay feels exactly how it should.

I did found the secret level, and while it didn't bringed me to a secret level, as told before, it did made me able to go out of the map. Also I am kinda sad bouapha doesn't congratulate us when we kill the boss. And I can't imagine someone who haven't played kid mystic before would like it a lot, due to how much is not explained. Sadly.

All this is very small criticism considering how much pleasure I had the whole time, and I had a stupid grin covering my face the whole time.


I can't wait to see more of your work.

Why didn't I knew about it before? It's NOICE!
