Magic Inlay
Magic Inlay is a single player, mouse controlled, side scrolling inlay
puzzle game.
There are three episodes to the game Dragon Land; Fantasy Valley; Fairy Isles.
Each has a different set of tiles, a different end of level boss and can be
played on now of three difficulty settings and the player also has a choice of
three starting bonuses.
Each episode consists of a series of side scrolling 2D screens containing grey
shapes, these roll in and stop until a shape has been filled. Beneath shapes
scroll right to left which the player selects and drops into the grey outlines
above. Pieces that the player cannot use will clog up the conveyor belt area
and end the game so there’s an option to move unwanted pieces into the Drop
Section. Alternatively the player may use a magic hammer to destroy unwanted
shapes or a magic wand to create a missing piece , some hammers and wands are
supplied at the start of the game and more are awarded as in-game bonuses.
When a mosaic is completed the shapes usually move right to left to reveal
another mosaic but sometimes they can move left to right to show a new
addition to an already completed mosaic. ‘Floating’ around among the mosaics
are bonus items which are earned when mosaics are completed, some of these are
traditional gems but others such as birds and coffee grinders are a little
bizarre.
Each episode consists of a series of levels which end with an end of level
boss, these can shoot balls of fire that destroy tiles on the conveyor or in
part completed mosaics, they can disable the Drop Section or cover the
conveyor with fog (pieces can still be picked up but the player has no idea
what they are getting. When a level is completed the player can save their
progress.
