Inspired by games like Slightly Magic, Puff in Dragonland, and the Dizzy series, Mystik Belle is a hybrid of a classic point-and-click adventure and a modern metroidvania. While playing it you can expect to do some of the following:
- Get hopelessly lost in the massive school building and its surrounding areas.
- Find items and solve inventory puzzles. Or just clog up your pockets with useless junk.
- Interact with other inhabitants of Hagmore. Learn clues, help them out, ruin their day with angry flies.
- Fight through hallways infested by over 60 unique monster types.
- Defeat 8 bosses.
- Learn new magical and not-so-magical abilities.
- Ogle at retina-burningly colorful pixel art.
- Punch Cthulhu in the face.
Be warned though - Mystik Belle is NOT just a metroidvania - it's a true adventure game. You will not get far without having to solve inventory puzzles or talking to people.
Lastly, the game may contain some language not suitable for younger kids.
IMPORTANT RELEASE NOTES
Due to middleware problems as of launch the game has the following issues:
- OSx version of the game doesn't support the Steam features like the overlay, achievements and trading cards. I will look for a way to get this sorted out as soon as I can. You can still get the game's internal achievements which will transfer to your Steam achievements once this is fixed.
- Linux version of the game appears to only reliably support the Xbox 360 controller. This is a known issue of all GameMaker Studio games. More information regarding it can be found here.
Mystic Belle's Beta branch has been updated with a new build, introducing some pretty radical new features.
First of these is the introduction of the difficulty select at the start of the game. The player will no longer be able to flip the difficulty at will during gameplay, as the modes are a bit more different now.
Second major feature is the addition of warp chests. These are only available on the easier setting. The chests allow you to store up to 14 inventory items in them, which will be available in all other chests around the game's world.
This should resolve at least some of the woes caused by the game's limited inventory space, as anywhere you go, there is likely to be a chest nearby.
