About This Game

This mission will take Hocus to 16 unique realms, each filled with unique dangers and enemies. Few have survived Terexin's final test. For many it's a one-way trip.

Along the way Hocus will encounter dragons, imps, ghosts and 30 more unique creatures, demons and enemies. Survive, and Hocus becomes a full-fledged, card carrying Wizard. The other option is not so favorable. After every two levels of play the level graphics, background and enemies completely change, giving this game unparalleled variety. Hocus Pocus is a action platform game, with exciting puzzles built into each level's structure.

Hocus is armed with a standard magic spell (he's not yet a full Wizard, after all), but he can find several potions that give him a temporary boost of magical energy. There are potions that give Hocus the ability to shoot rapidly, jump higher, teleport and fire a devastating energy blast, among others.

Not Recommended

i play hocus pocus thinking it's magic game but it's just jumping and shooting jelly beans. wizard can't even fly. lame. levels all look same. bricks, more bricks, then door. i keep pulling levers but nothing happen. maybe i broke it? idk. enemies are just slime and lizards. they jump, i jump, we all jump. screen is chaos. i shoot magic and it goes pew and does nothing. music sounds like circus stuck in a blender. made my ears itch. there's no map. no save. no clues. just run, shoot, get lost, cry. i fell off platform and game just laughed at me. no checkpoints. i uninstall. FINAL SCORE: 1 wizard hat outta 10, more like Hopeless Pocus
