Feb 1, 2021 UPDATE
Thanks for downloading Magic Castle (again?).
In this second release we have fixed a few bugs and enhanced some features following reports and suggestions from various players.
There is no 4 player support yet, we're still working on it, but these are some of the changes we have made:
- The Japanese translation has been completed by Pirowo himself.
- 3 new languages have been included: Italian, thanks to Enrico Mancuso (Hidro Saphire), Portuguese, translated by Ricardo Bonfim and Davi Sumback and lastly a Turkish translation by Aawibano (Hbg). These translations are not final and we will improve them in the future adding all missing foreign characters.
- A few bugs went unnoticed in our first version: There was a bug which turned the game unplayable when player 2 controlled a wizard and reached floor 5. An important item disappeared when moving from one room to another. Pianos played even when sound effects were disabled. After beating the game playing as the archer it was wrongfully reported that a game mode already available had been unlocked. Dialog windows could be closed even before the text had been displayed. Defeating a black golem sometimes resulted in an endless loop.
- Some players complained because the game was too easy. After upgrading their characters they became almost invincible. The difficulty has risen up a bit to prevent this situation. Parameters of enemies are calculated according to the players' average level.
- Another reason why the game was so easy is the archer. To make things a little harder, shooting more than one arrow at a time consumes one magic point. If no magic points are left, no arrows can be shot until the current arrow has disappeared.
- The fire scroll now has a time limit to prevent abuse. We have also made some changes in the treasure chamber. Instead of exploiting loopholes, we encourage you to delve into the castle and unveil all its secrets
- A couple of enemies have learned a few new attacks.
- An easy difficulty level has been added for beginners or for practicing. In this mode, enemies are weaker and coins follow the player so you don't have to chase them. Easy mode does not unlock anything and scores are not registered.
- We have read a few complaints about accidentally hitting the golden key and taking players to the next level against their will. Now after the key has been produced it is disabled for 2 seconds. It won't work until it is glittering.
- We have somewhat taken care of the monotonous style of the castle.
- Some people didn't find it funny at all when items got stuck between the fountain and a wall. We have written a workaround for that. Refer to the manual for further details.
- New easter eggs have been included.
