The last game by Reidrac (Juan Martinez) is out : Magica (v1.01 with one less bug), with a loading screen by Vanja Utne, is out. I warn you, it's bad for WAF.

Use Fire to stun the badass, touch them before the stun stops so they transform into a potion. Kill them all to collect all potions to finish the level before time is out.I played a bit, went to level 5 only at the moment.
