#HOCUS FOCUS PUZZLES SOFTWARE#

There are fight-enhancing potions that enable rapid fire and powerful laser shots. If Hocus is damaged he can collect healing potions that restore 10% health. If this percentage reaches zero, Hocus dies and restarts the level. Hocus starts with 100% health and this percentage decreases as Hocus takes damage from spikes, lava, monsters or their missiles (4% on 'easy' mode, 12% on 'moderate' mode, 16% on 'hard' mode). The player also receives bonus points if they complete the level within a set time limit. While Hocus does not have to pick up treasure, the player is awarded bonus points if all treasure is collected. Treasure items include rubies, diamonds, goblets and crowns. Some levels have silver and gold doors, which can be opened after Hocus pick up the corresponding keys. Within the levels there are also various items and treasure that Hocus can pick up for points or special abilities. Hocus will encounter monsters which he may avoid or kill with his magic lightning bolt spell. The object of the game is to collect all the crystal balls within a level to proceed to the next. After Trolodon's defeat, Terexin was spiteful rather than grateful towards Hocus, as he couldn't believe that such a great mage like Trolodon could be defeated by a puny wizard like him who was also a dropout. Speculation on the game has arisen that Trolodon was Terexin himself, as the player never gets to see the mage beyond the hologram, and both mages bore the same robes and beard. At the end of the game, he marries his beloved Popopa, making them Mr. As for completing his apprenticeship, Hocus Pocus becomes part of the Council of Wizards. After defeating Trolodon, the magic areas were now mostly cleared, so they became fairly safe for travel. Terexin, in the form of a hologram, gives the player advice through the game, although the conversations vary from solving a switch puzzle to how long it took him to grow his beard. Throughout his journey, Hocus encounters strange and sometimes dangerous creatures, like mummies, bats and Eskimos. He promises Hocus that if he manages to become a member, he gets to marry his sweetheart Popopa, who is also Terexin's daughter. As leader of the Council of Wizards, Terexin tells Hocus Pocus, the young wizard the player controls, has the quest to obtain such crystals in order to attain more magic powers to become a worthy member of the Council. Terexin, a powerful mage, explains that all magic power of the Land of Lattice is entrenched into powerful crystals that resonate if brought together in sets. The game begins with most of the story of Hocus Pocus being told to the player. To do this, Hocus has to beat 36 levels spread over four episodes (nine levels per episode), filled with over 30 different kinds of monsters, including imps, ghosts, and dragons, and a boss at the end of each episode.Дespite being released around the same time as the film of the same name, the game is not related to it in any way, except for the general concept of hocus pocus itself. In the game, the player controls Hocus, a young wizard apprentice, sent on a quest by Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards to prove his worthiness to join this council. A part of this title is distributed under the shareware license.

It is a 256 color VGA game featuring 360 degree scrolling and parallaxing backgrounds.
