Oh crap, I used to play Wizard for the Commodore64 all of the time. Like an enhanced version of Jumpman. Awesome. I'm happy about this game.

Sadly, this isn't a whole lot like Wizard. The awesome sound and fragility of the character are missing.
That, and the level design is much different.
I still like it just fine, but it's not as good.

I like the graphics, but the game is a bit boring for me.
I'd like more difficult levels.
The lack of music make the game poor of depth, as well.

It's fun for a bit, but there isn't much to it.
I like the last level with the puzzle. It really lends itself better to puzzle elements rather than action.
