This version of Waltz of the Wizard brings full iPhone Duo compatibility for all Duo poses! Talk to Skully on a big screen... or slam the door in his face!
Waltz of the Wizard is a delightful sandbox that captures the 'mischievous' side of magic. Unlike RPGs where magic is just a stat, here it feels like a physical force. The way you can stretch objects like taffy, create miniature black holes, or turn the entire room into a zero-gravity zone is consistently entertaining. It feels less like a game with a win-state and more like a high-end toy box for the magically inclined.
The mobile port is surprisingly robust. While it obviously loses the tactile feel of VR controllers, the gesture-based touch controls are intuitive and snappy. The sentient skull provides just enough witty commentary to keep the lab from feeling lonely. It’s a fantastic showcase of physics-based environmental interaction, and discovering a new 'hidden' spell by combining nonsensical ingredients always results in a laugh. It's short, but packed with wonder.
Interactive Magic Lab
Physics-Based Interactions
Dozens of Secret Spells
Immersive Sound Design
Try adding the 'Dragon Scale' and 'Moonlight' to the cauldron. This grants you the fire-breath ability, which can be used to light the torches in the secret cellar.
Step through the magical portal to enter a procedurally generated dungeon where you must use your spells to survive against guardians.
This is a mobile-optimized version of the popular VR experience, using touch and gyro controls for magic.
I absolutely adore this game, and I for one second never regretted my purchase. This game as I found out is a IOS port of a VR game, though it did get a PC port beforehand, and while it does lack some of the content that were in the other versions, with this starting and mainly being a VR game that is understandable. But regardless it’s absolutely comedic, even though I 100%ed it a long while ago I still comeback to it for comedy from Skully, to vent built up feelings, or to just hang with my friend Egor… just kidding of course, I throw whatever’s nearby the second I hear him. Anyway I’m rambling on so if you haven’t get the game, you won’t regret it, but one word of warning, so not leave your iPhone on the start/pause menu, it will burn into your phone screen, you can fix it but it took me like a day to do so, aside from that have fun.
THIS GAME IS AMAZING!! It’s hilarious and so much fun that you just get to explore with minimal direction. I like that it forces me to think. What I would love to see improved is the navigation/ joystick feature. Tapping is fine but in some situations I can be more precise with the joystick. However the emote tab keeps opening because I hit it by accident. I wish the joystick was where the emote tab/circle is because it gets in the way and it’s frustrating when I just want to enjoy the game. I play on an iPhone so that could be the issue. But it is the primary device I play games on the most. So I’d love to see it formatted for it better. But the game is AMAZING! This is just my wish for improvement and NOT a negative review. Hence the five stars!
Waltz of the wizard is one the best games I have ever played. I have never see a game with so many amazing details. You don’t even have to complete a bunch of other stuff first to freely roam you can just play the game freely and not complete all the other stuff first. Plus the developers of the game actually respond to your suggestions when you make them. Plus Skully is hilarious. A very deserved five stars from me.
This is a very good game. I love it sometimes I play on my VR, but when my VR is dead or like I’m going somewhere I’ll play it on my phone and it just makes the experience the same but the one thing that I hate is that I can’t hear you as well like in the VR so so I’m gonna give us a five out of five though, but this is a really good game. I recommend buying the courtyard if not eight dollars.
I tried to use the xylophone to spell egghead but it didn’t work, and my parents won’t let me buy the full game, other than that, I’ve thrown skully out the window 142 times, drowned him 86 times, killed Robert the rat 30 times, bullied Igor 65 times, shot the bat 14 times, and bullied the giant 12 times. I could do this all summer break
So I’m trying to do the cabinet quest but every time I get to the window it don’t work overall the game is really good but I just really want to find out what’s in the cabinet and I’m looking at these reviews and I see people telling you about this too Please talk to me about this.
This is an amazing game. It’s exactly like VR game because it is even though the controls are a little hard and you have to use the reality mode for the tutorial to point out something and make things float. I would rate this five stars if they fix that by making a pointing emote by the way, if I have any spelling errors in this, it’s because I’m using talk to text
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GET THIS GAME!!! I have never paid for a game until I tried this one and I had to have it! It’s not anything like all the other games for iPhone this ones so unique and fun and hilarious and addictive! After having iPhone for ten years this is the first game I have paid for! It’s that good!!!
