About Hocus Pocus

Hocus Pocus is an action platform game set in the land of Lattice. The player controls a young magician apprentice on a quest to gather magical crystals for the wizard chief Terexin. This journey is necessary for the protagonist to achieve his two personal goals: joining the Council of Wizards and marrying his sweetheart Popopa.

Gameplay involves navigating through levels by running, jumping, and climbing while confronting various monsters. Throughout the adventure, Hocus discovers magic potions that serve different functions. Some restore health, while others grant temporary special abilities like a super-jump for reaching new areas or a laser shot for improved combat.
