Magic Touch: Wizard for Hire

Magic Touch is an endless game set in the Magic Touch series, announced on January 1st 2015. The game will be released on iOS and Android and be free. The player plays as a wizard who has to protect a castle from oncoming enemies descending on balloons.

Unlike the flash version the game is based on, this mobile version will have new backgrounds and new spells.

Development
Development of Magic Touch mobile started during the development of Icebreaker: A Viking Voyage which was developed from December 2011 to June 2013. The game was put on hold at some point and not returned to for a very long time until 2014 at the time when Nitrome was testing out free games with ads.

When Magic Touch mobile was being worked on it was not made in Unity (like Nitrome's other free mobile games), and it was due to this the game would not be available on Nitrome's website. However, because Nitrome would prefer to have all their free games on their site Magic Touch mobile may be added to the Nitrome website at a future date.

The shape recognition part of Magic Touch mobile is different from the one used in the browser Magic Touch and is also more accurate at recognizing shapes.
