Categorically, it is a narrative JRPG. You walk around, there are doors and trees. You go here and you go there. There are fragments of plot relayed out of sequence but you do not care because the music and the colours. When the narrative peaks, you say 'Good!' and then forget it. The years neglect this fertile country but the trees and doors still standing somewhere form a silent windless day.

############################################################

The game is available for Mac Linux and PC.
It is best played with a mouse and not trackpad, think of it like a twin-stick game.
Good luck and get the magic wand.

Hey Iam trying to get in touch with the secret society of thecatamites. Anybody has a clue which magic tree i have to hug ? xx A

There’s something about Magic Wand that I love. At first glance it looks kind of messy but for some reason it looks appealing. The weirdness is appealing and I like weird but I guess I’m also a fan of the creators work.

-----------------------------------

The things that I liked

What I liked the most was the adventure. It really felt unique and fun to play. I didn’t know where to go and just explored the world hoping that something cool would happen.

I liked the art style of the game. It has that nice pixel look but the freshness of a 3d game. It’s quite wonderful.

The music was really good. That indie music touch is so great and it’s pleasing to the ears.

I also liked how easy the game was. HP didn’t matter for me and maybe that was on purpose.

Mac version can fullscreen.

Can’t die from falling off the edge.

-----------------------------------

Things I didn’t like

I didn’t like how there wasn’t a good story. I would say that the story felt non existent.

I didn’t like most of the dialogue from NPC’s. They just said nonsense.

I didn’t like how there wasn’t a shop to buy cool new things like potions or weapons.

I didn’t like the blocks that you could break as they served no real purpose.

Hard to get/farm money.

Windows version can’t fullscreen so it may be best to reduce screen resolution to play.

-----------------------------------

Conclusion

I really enjoyed the game even when I was playing on a trackpad. I guess I would also like to say that this game was very relaxing to play. It was a fun time indeed!

I love this...what did you make this in? This art style is so cute and unique.

Fantastical styles. Love the happy-scrappy graphics and adventurey feels. Nice work!!

First of all, great game! I just bought the bundle, and I'm loving magic wand and the notes so far. But I'm kind of confused as to where I would get the steam key.

Edit: Just found the key, had to log on to itch through browser and hit download there.

Also, this is kind of unrelated, but it says 50 short games isn't available for windows on the itch.io client, so I'm not sure how to access those.

Edit: Also just found out you have to download 50 short games through browser, the client doesn't work. I guess this comment is sort of useless now :

Ah, thank you! I haven't tried out the client myself but I'll have a look at 50SG and see if there's a way to set it up there. It's kind of a weird case since it's a loader for 50 separate games so it could work best just playing from desktop anyway, hahah.

Ok, thanks!

On a somewhat unrelated note, I just finished Magic Wand. Honestly - probably GOTY 2018 for me. I've always wanted to make my own game, and seeing 50sg, MW, and all your other offerings is hugely inspirational to me. So thanks for that :)

...Though, I was a little confused about the capsules - Is there only the one capsule machine in the game? And if so, how do you get more capsules after leaving the first world?

Ah, thank you! And IIRC there should be four capsule machines in the game - one in the hotel garden, one in Bigdug's office, one in the parade grounds area of Beachtown, and one in the Skuldug moon laboratory. But they're hidden, just like in life....

Yes, there should be a Steam key with each copy - when you buy here and hit 'Download' you'll have an option to claim it.

If for some reason there isn't just drop a comment and I'll check it out!

I think you should brush up on your style and join the ranks of the AAA game developers. You have the talent to join the hundreds of faceless clones that created such mind-numbingly boring games like Assassin's Crud or something.

Just kidding!

I freaking love your games because they are fun, hilarious and immanently surprising. Magic Wand is a great example of the biting humor I love.

Let’s have a look at each product in particular.

Product	Format	Optical Resolution	Connectivity	Color Depth	Price
Epson Perfection V600	A4	6400 dpi	Hi-Speed USB 2.0	48-bit Color or 16-bit Grayscale	Click for more info

The Epson Perfection V600 is one of the perfect flatbed scanners for Mac. It will connect to your Mac through a USB 2.0 port, so if you have a 2019 or 2020 Macbook Pro or Air, then you need to connect it through an adapter from Thunderbolt port to the regular-size USB. None of the flatbed scanners have a lightning port either. It might miss the good stuff on connectivity but it doesn’t let down in other areas.
First, there is the quality. It has a CCD Sensor like Most Epson Scanners that can output digital images at an optical resolution of 6400 DPI. That is the kind of resolution you find on high-end scanners that cost 3-4 times as much. It is compatible with the latest version of Mac OS (OS X El Capitan, Sierra, Mojave and Catalina). When you scan in color, you’ll get a color depth of 48-bit and 16-bit for grayscale scanning. Obviously it has an LED lamp for scanning so that it doesn’t warm up. Then there is the fast scanning speed: It can scan an A4 photo at 300 dpi in about 6 seconds which makes it a fast flatbed scanner.
You can scan film negatives with this photo and document scanner on your Mac using the included transparency unit. It comes with 2 film holders so that you can scan photos on 35mm film negatives and also 35mm slides. Here is a tip: Since the scanner comes with only one set of film holders for slides and negatives, if you want to batch scan you can get after-market film holders on Amazon so that when one batch is being scanned you load the other. If you check prices on Amazon you’ll see that they are cheaper too.
The scanning software that is bundled with the Epson V600 is compatible with the holders, it will detect the frames, crop them and adjust the orientation. It also has some Digital ICE features to remove scratches and dust from them. Scratches and dust isn’t such a big problem on scanned photos but on film, you have to remember that the image will be enlarged so they become much more noticeable.
The software package in the box with the Epson Perfection v600 color photo image film scanner includes: Epson Easy Photo Fix (image enhancing and photo editing software), Epson Copy Utility, ArcSoft PhotoStudio, ABBYY FineReader Sprint Plus OCR.
The Epson Easy Photo Fix gives you the option to do automatic photo enhancement with one click like auto crop and deskew, without fiddling through the settings and the ABBYY FineReader converts JPEG, Bitmaps and TIFF files to searchable PDFs or Word Documents.
It has the best text recognition accuracy of all OCR software at the moment excluding Tesseract which is an API and does tend to perform better sometimes. The ArcSoft PhotoStudio is a great Photoshop knock-off but hey, it’s free. One of the downsides is that you can’t scan directly to a cloud storage but at the end of the day, you can just setup a Google Drive hotfolder and scan the files there and they will sync automatically.
This flatbed scanner for mac weighs about 9 pounds and it is 4.6 inches thick. Not the slimmest scanner by any means. All of these features make it the best photo scanner for Mac in our opinion.
It is a very fast flatbed scanner however if you need to digitize a lot of photos, then you should go for dedicated Mac compatible photo scanners like the Plustek ePhoto z300 or an Epson fastfoto FF-680W should be your pick. The only problem with flatbeds and with these photo scanners is that they cannot scan directly to SD card like most dedicated film and slide scanners.

Epson Perfection V39	A4	4800 dpi	Hi-Speed USB 2.0	48-bit Color or 16-bit Grayscale	Click for more info

The V39 is Epson’s idea of a cheap Flatbed Scanner for Mac. It costs 3 times less than the V600 and it can do a lot but obviously it misses some specs and features. It is compatible with Apple devices like the iMac, Mac Pro or Macbook and with all the versions of the Mac OS. It connects through the same type of USB 2.0 port so if you have a newer Mac you will need an adapter. You are probably asking yourself why we included devices for which you need an adapter and the answer is simple: Because there is only one scanner that has a newer port and that is the Canon Lide 400 about which we will be writing below.
The image resolution is 4800 DPI and this comes from a CIS sensor. From the CIS you can expect not as much RGB color vividness as you get on CCD sensors but the newer CIS sensors are so good that you have to look closely on your retina display to tell the difference. CIS sensors are built for document scanners and low-cost flatbeds where quality is less important. The pixel density is good enough for most applications. But even though it is enough for high-quality photo scanning, Epson have decided that this scanner won’t be able to scan film negatives or photo slides, so you don’t get any film holders or software to help you with that. The sensor uses an LED lamp that doesn’t require any time to warm up.
Speaking of software, the included package with the Epson Perfection V39 color photo scanner contains: Epson Easy Photo Fix, Epson Event Manager, Epson Copy Utility, Epson Easy Photo Scan, Epson Document Capture Pro, ArcSoft Scan-n-Stitch Deluxe (Windows only). This time the OCR isn’t an ABBYY license so you will be using the OCR with the Document Capture Pro app which points to the idea of this scanner, that it was built to scan documents. This is a document scanner with scan-to-cloud, so you can sync this scanner through your Mac to automatically upload the scanned images to DropBox, Evernote or Google Drive. Epson provides TWAIN drivers so that you can use it with any scanning app for Mac or PC.

Canon CanoScan Lide 400	A4	4800 dpi	USB Type-C	48-bit Color or 16-bit Grayscale	Click for more info

The Canon CanoScan Lide 400 is the only flatbed scanner for Mac that has a port for 2020. It has and this is true, a USB-C port. If you have a quick look, you will notice that the Canon 400 and Epson V39 are direct competitors in the sub-100$ range and that’s why they have mostly similar specs. Both have the same type of sensor and the same number of pixels per inch with a 4800 dpi scanning resolution, same scanning size.
The included software with the Canon is: IJ Scan Utility (Windows), IJ Scan Utility Lite (Mac), Auto Scan, Document Scan, Photo Scan, Custom Scan, Stitch Scan, and OCR (Optical Character Recognition), ScanGear MP Driver, Quick Menu. Like with the Epson V39 you don’t get a separate ABBYY license, you have to use the Optical Character Recognition functions included with the Canon scanning software. All the software included is compatible with PC and Mac.
The Canon comes with a vertical stand so that it doesn’t take up space while you are not using the scanning system. It can also scan vertically but I wouldn’t recommend that. The scan speed is decent with an A4 at 300 dpi being digitized in just 8 seconds, which is quick scanning by flatbed standards. There are dedicated buttons including one for scanning to a laser printer or inkjet printer.
If you need a Canon device with a higher scan quality and more scanner features, Canon used to make a high-resolution flatbed photo scanner, the canon canoscan 9000f mkii that was the top of the line. It would now be the direct competitor to the Epson Perfection v850 pro. It is discontinued but you can still find it on Amazon through some sellers. Also make sure to check the price as there can be higher fluctuations with discontinued products.
At this price level, you can also find a portable scanner, the Doxie Flip (Made by the same company that makes the Doxie Go SE Portable Scanner). But know that it is an A6 format scanner, so you can only scan 4×6 photos. This device and the Epson V39 are similarly priced but it is good to check Amazon once in a while for discounts.
