This looks remarkably well made.  Well done.

Looks hot!

I am intrigued by this game.

I agree. I find myself surprisingly interested in this game.

I'm a wizard and this looks pretty allright.

Wow, it's still great to see the guys quicklooking small games like this. Will be grabbing this up.

As a fan of both wizards and orbs I can only be dissapointed by a game that promises both.

This game looks pretty cool

Well color me surprised. This looks cool and I like the art a lot!

Looks cool, have too wait for the pc version, since Xbox Live Indie Games isn't available in norway.

lol "Enlarge your magic wand".  Classic.

I'll agree to watch quicklooks again when Dead Island comercials agree to get the fuck out of here.

@TheChaos: I'm confused

@TheChaos: I'll agree to care what you think about ads when you get a membership.

Huh, hadn't heard of this. Seems neat! The art is especially awesome. Thanks for the QL.
 
Vinny's old wizard laugh was amazing, by the way :D

I like wizards but I'm not a fan of orbs. Is this game for me?

I love Phantasm, it's my favorite horror series.  Anyway, this is hitting all my buttons, once the bonus stage showed up I was sold.

Making players play through all 12 levels does feel like a poor choice. The thing with Puzzle Quest is you don't get stuck in a 20 minute long battle every time you get into a fight.

nice pixel art. I like the music too.

Hurray! Glad you guys did a quicklook on this. I've been in first place overall on the leaderboards for a while unless that's changed in the past few days /smug

That is not "kinda" Zelda music. That sounds so much like the dungeon music in the original Zelda. Spoooooky.

Wow this looks pretty damn cool. I love the style.

Definitely picking this up when it hits on PC. Seems to hit the Puzzle Quest idea with a game style that I actually enjoy.

I fucking love the graphics.

seems pretty cool.

Cool game

Wizorb is an awesome name for a video game. Just saying it makes me smile. Wizorb.

Game itself looks pretty cool too!

That's what I'm yelling, but no one will be able to take my money thanks to the Australian Classification Board

Woah. Stage 1 music is straight Zelda. wtf

Yawn, not my type of game.

I'm liking everything I'm seeing, except that it's arkanoid. So, I guess it's not for me.

Back to Dark Souls!

Wait. At the beginning, Patrick doesn't know if it's coming to Steam or not, but at the end, he totally does!

This looks really cool

That nose.

Oh god this fantastic. Will pick up! :)

Having to play through 12 stages in one go is the sole thing keeping me from buying this game. There's no way I can do that consistently.

thats shining force 2!!!!!!!

OH MY GOD NO AD BEFORE

If your magic wand is elongated for longer than 4 hours...

I would take Vinny with some soft-serve any day of the week. ha.

Also, awesome. Glad yall did a Quick Look of this.

Game looks fucking awesome! I have to get this! :)

This game actually seems like a lot of fun. But one has to wonder; are there boss fights and if so, what could you fight up against? If you fight with a paddle and the ball, then how is there much adversity? Unless curses are just thrown out. But at some point it just becomes a terrifying nightmare.

This game looks awesome. stink can't play no indie games

I've loved Paul Robertson (the artist for the game) since I first saw "Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006" (look it up) five years ago. He does some of the best classic SNES-style pixel art out there. I'll pick up any game that has him as the artist just on that alone.

The graphics are not by Paul Robertson; they were made by the guy who did the background art for Scott Pilgrim - Jonathan Lavigne.

I love it when Patrick puts it where he wants.

@BeachThunder: Well, he contributed in some way to the art/animations unless you're calling Paul Robertson a liar:

"Wizorb by Tribute Games is now available for download on Xbox Live Indie Games. I did animations on it."

Edit: Paul did the villagers and bosses:

How did Paul Robertson (#sohandsome) get involved in the project? Between him and Justin Cyr, who’s making what?

• Paul worked with us on SP and was free to do animations before we did most of the big production. He did all the bosses and villagers. I came on after that so I took care of everything else that needed to get done.

This looks really interesting. I'd love to get some Arkanoid type action again. I used to play the old Arkanoid game on PC back in the MS DOS 5.0 days. It plays great with a mouse because you have the fine control when you need it but you can also move it to the other side of the screen quickly. I think I'll get this on Steam since it will probably have mouse control.

Best game-name ever!

Vinny's laugh at 13:25 lol!

This game looks super rad. At the moment I'm stuck with a Mac, so I hope it releases for Mac on Steam as well as PC.

Love the music. Will pick this up on PC when it comes out.
