MAGICAL JUGGLER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Had an absolute blast playing compo entries yesterday, and I can't wait to see what everyone's made for the jam today! Drop a comment if you'd like me to look at your game, and you can check out my compo game MAGICAL JUGGLER EXTRAORDINAIRE here :smile:

MAGICAL JUGGLER EXTRAORDINAIRE is coming to google play!

The first post-jam update to my entry has been completed and the game is pending publication to the google play store! The game was begging to be released as a pick-up-and-play mobile game from the moment I settled on the idea, and I'm really happy with how the port has turned out! I'm having so much fun with this project right now that I'm going to keep the development going a bit longer, moving forward with the mobile version and keeping the current jam WebGL build as it is for posterity.

The new 1.1 version of the game comes with a few updates suggested to me by the kind people who gave feedback on my jam entry, most notably an overhaul of the wind spell which makes it more fun and a bit harder to use:

as well as a few QoL changes, progress saving, and separate high-scores for each spell.

The games publication date is in Google's hands now but expect another shameless promo post when it releases!


You can play the original jam version of the game here.

Thank you to everyone who gave MAGICAL JUGGLER EXTRAORDINAIRE a go and for all the feedback in the comments. I had so much fun this jam and to come out of it with a new personal best is just the icing on the cake.

This was the first LD where I had enough free time to really dig into the rating & review period and properly get past 20 games played, and I got to see so many great games that taught me so many things I can't wait to implement in my own games moving forward. I hope everyone had a great time and learned a thing or two too! :smile:

I've ported the post-jam version of my game over to android with a host of tweaks and fixes, you can find it on the Google Play store here. Feedback on the new and improved version of the game would be greatly appreciated!
