Welcome to Magic Fever, a colourful puzzle game where wizards break pixel art apart with chain reactions! Each level is a pixel-art picture made of colourful blocks. Your wizards wait in their queues. Tap one to send it to the magic conveyor. As it rides past the picture, it casts at the pixels that match its colour. Each spell starts a chain reaction that clears every connected pixel of that colour. It sounds easy, but every choice counts. The conveyor has only 5 slots. Send a wizard too early and it can block the path. Send the right one at the right moment and a whole section of the picture disappears in one satisfying blast. HOW TO PLAY • Tap a queue to send its front wizard to the conveyor. • Wizards only cast at pixels of their own colour that are exposed at the bottom. • The number on each wizard shows how many spells it has left. • Clear every pixel to finish the picture. • Don't let the conveyor fill up with wizards that have nothing to cast at! FEATURES • Handcrafted levels, from relaxing warm-ups to Super Hard challenges • Charming pixel art: candy, fruit, animals, ocean creatures, space, magic and more • Satisfying chain reactions with every spell • Easy to learn, with real strategy to master • Bright, cheerful visuals and smooth, tap-friendly controls Train your wizards, plan your moves and turn every picture into a burst of magic. Download Magic Fever and start casting!
