SLIGHTLY MAGIC

Bigwiz the wizard has left the castle in a hurry, in order to turn the King's son Newton back into a frog. Indeed, he was in such a hurry that he forgot to pack his spare wand, forgot to lock his laboratory door and, most importantly, forgot to return his utterly stupid, idiotic, incompetent, brain-dead nephew SLIGHTLY to his parents' mud hut in the hills.

Oh well, it could be worse. A sunburnt dragon could be running off with the beautiful Princess Croak as we speak. The wizard's spell cabinet might have been knocked over by a flaming Octarian Whirlwind, scattering spells everywhere. His kingliness the King might, in a fit of blind panic, have given SLIGHTLY the wizard's private spell book to read. It might rain.

You see, it could be worse. But as it is, there's not a cloud in the sky, a breeze in the air or a whiff of dragon's breath to be sniffed. Hang on, where's that pink fire-breathing creature going with that screaming princess? Is that a gentle wind wafting in through the door, or is it something stronger?

Oh no, get the washing in mother, and lock all the doors. Cancel the papers and shoot the cow. I think it's going to be one of those days...

HINTS

The aim of the game is to rescue the beautiful princess Croak from the sunburnt dragon. To do this you'll need to use the various spells and objects scattered throughout the game.

You start the game with 3 lives.

Collecting stars increases your magic powers. Collect 20 stars to gain an extra life.

You can't travel safely underwater unless you become a fish!

Certain areas will be out of reach until you can change into a bird!

Watch out for fires, spikes and banana skins!

SPELLS AND OBJECTS

Pressing SPACE/FIRE when you're standing over an object or spell will make Slightly pick it up. Pressing SPACE/FIRE at any other time will show you a list of what you're carrying.

You can select an item to use or drop by pressing UP/DOWN to highlight it and then pressing fire.

To use any of the spells you'll first need to collect the magic wand and read the spell book. Each spell needs to be activated by picking up an object to complete its recipe.
