MAGIC BLOCK

Features
Read full description

This is a pixel-art puzzle action game in which you operate a magical girl, Pandora, and aim for the goal on the stage. Pandora can take and place blocks on the stage, so place the blocks in the right places and reach the goal! There are a total of six different types of blocks, each with various effects: some can jump high, some can dash, some can fall, and so on. The later the stage, the more difficult it becomes, but the sense of accomplishment you get when you clear the stage is so great that you should definitely try to clear all the stages!
