Wizorb

Wizorb is a retro style Indie block breaking game by Tribute Games.

A wandering wizard named Cyrus arrives in the kingdom of Gerodu to find that it has been besieged by the evil Demon King and his forces. Only Tarot Village remains free, and even then it has suffered major damage and its four Sacred Children, who hold the key to stopping the Demon King, have been kidnapped. Cyrus must now use his magic to fight through the kingdom, defeat the Demon King's forces, rebuild Tarot, save the children, and save the kingdom.

Wizorb is unlike most other block breaking games. Players control Cyrus as he moves around the level in his Wizorb, keeping him from falling to his doom via the magic wand. As Cyrus' quest continues, he will acquire gold with which he can help to rebuild Tarot Village and buy items ranging from extra lives to temporary upgrades to his wand. Cyrus also has access to several spells, including fireballs, gusts of wind to help direct the orb, teleporting the orb, and being able to manually control the orb for a limited time.

Wizorb contains examples of:

 * Big Bad: The Demon King
 * Dungeon Town: The first world.
 * Living MacGuffin: The Sacred Children
 * Nintendo Hard
 * Retraux
 * Video Game Cruelty Potential: It is possible to complete the game without giving one cent to Tarot's reconstruction. You even get an achievement for it!
 * "Wake-Up Call" Boss: The mine boss is the first boss that has an actual defense system and can outright destroy your wand.
