## Description
_Wizzley Presto and The Vampire’s Tomb_ is a game in the vein of classic
Dizzy and Seymour series. The player takes control of Wizzley, a bumbling
wannabe magician summoned by the king to rid The Shire of some evil vampire.
Wizzley’s problem? He can’t use any magic more complex than card tricks, and
so, must complete his quest through other means, mainly a series of inventory
puzzles and some rudimentary platforming.
Wizzley is controlled via directional touch-buttons on the bottom of the
screen. What makes this setup rather unconventional, is that the buttons are
laid out in a single raw, rather than a D-Pad. The character moves with
acceleration, making it difficult to estimate the timing of certain actions,
Most unexpectedly, however, the character in this platformer game can’t
voluntarily jump – moving platforms have to be walked on, enemies can only be
avoided by walking away from them, and certain objects hurl Wizzley up in an
auto-jump. To interact with puzzles and NPCs, and to pick up or use items, the
player has to tap them, which can be tricky based on where on screen the
hotspot is.
The game is split into three chapters, all taking place in the same locations
but in two different time periods. Though the game doesn’t scroll from one
location to the next, the screens are given life through tiny ambient
animations like birds flying in the background, or spooky eyes peering out of
dark corners.
