About
Being a student of mystical arts is hard work, doubly so if you are Belle MacFae - a freshman student at Hagmore School of Magic. The teachers and the staff are mean, her friends are few, and her grades suck. Worst of all – Belle has a tendency to be at exactly the wrong place at exactly the wrongest time. Like tonight, for example, when she stayed up late to practice her fire magic, but instead got framed for upsetting an ancient ritual. And what better way is there to punish an unlucky first-year student, than to charge her with an impossible task on the worst night of the year? Re-create the Walpurgisnacht Brew, or be expelled, and with all manner of spooks taking over the school, expulsion is starting to sound better by the minute.
Inspired by games like Slightly Magic, Puff in Dragonland, and the Dizzy series, Mystik Belle is a hybrid of a classic point-and-click adventure and a modern metroidvania.
You may experience all of the following while playing this game:
Get hopelessly lost in the massive school building and its surrounding areas.
Find items and solve inventory puzzles. Or just clog up your pockets with useless junk.
Interact with other inhabitants of Hagmore. Learn clues, help them out, ruin their day with angry flies.
Fight through hallways infested by over 60 unique monster types.
Defeat 8 bosses.
Learn new magical and not-so-magical abilities.
Ogle at retina-burningly colorful pixel art.
Punch Cthulhu in the face.
PLEASE be advised: Mystik Belle is NOT just a metroidvania - it's a true adventure game. You will not get far without having to solve inventory puzzles or talking to people.
By default, the game contains some language not suitable for younger kids. A much more kid-friendly E-10 version of the dialogue is included, and can be selected from the options menu.
OSx version of the game doesn't support the Steam features like the overlay, achievements and trading cards. I will look for a way to get this sorted out as soon as I can. You can still get the game's internal achievements which will transfer to your Steam achievements once this is fixed.
I am temporarily unable to update the Mac version of the game due to changes to OSX and introduction of mandatory developer fees. I will resume Mac updates once I have the money to pay Apple their ransom.
Native Linux version of the game appears to only reliably support the Xbox 360 controller. This is a known issue of all GameMaker Studio games.

A really well put together metroidvania that, as others have pointed out, features an item system that is more reminiscent of point-and-click adventure games. It feels very much like a 90s SNES/Genesis game with spot-on graphics, music ,and controls. The game-play is very fun and the story and dialogue are fun and amusing. The only big drawback? It is extremely short. You can easily beat this game and get both endings in under ten hours. I almost considered giving a negative review just because of that. I realize it is tough for indie game developers so I am not going to do that. But this game most certainly is not worth $15. Graphics: 10/10 -- Looks like 90s 7th gen game, and a well-made one at that Music/SFx: 10/10 -- The music is in the style of 90s games, but sounds more modern Gameplay: 5/10 -- In and of itself, very enjoyable. But it gives less than ten hours of play. Controls: 10/10 -- No problems here Story: 10/10 -- Much more well thought out and well written that it needed to be Overall: 45/50 tl,dr: Fun game but really short. Buy with deep discount.
Fun puzzle metroidvania that looks like a early 90's Amiga game.
Little Witch Goes to school, gets blamed for big problem, fixes problem by beating the heck out of cthulhu.
Excelente juego si buscas algo sencillo para pasar el rato, el pixel art es bello y de buen tamaño
Absolute hidden gem. It's an amazing (and rare) mixture of Metroidvania and old-school adventure game. Really clever and well designed, with very charming graphics, with one of the best pixel arts that I ever saw. The soundtrack is also very good. Having played on hard, it provides a very good challenge with FANTASTIC boss battles. The spider boss was epic! I can't recommend this game enough. Truly a hidden gem and one my favorite Metroidvania.
К сожалению, на данный момент хотелось бы отругать автора. И не потому, что иди отс кая карта без подсказок(автор, у тебя бы пальцы стёрлись о клаву, если бы ты отметил на карте сундук на дне?? Думаешь, его легко запомнить?). И не потому, что нет записной книжки с заданиями. И не потому, что здесь ушлёпский бэктрэкинг. И не потому, что тебе вываливают на голову 15 предметовв начале игры , но по-ушлёпски ограничиваешь размер инвентаря 6-ю(!) предметами! Серьёзно?? И не потому, что автор спёр трёхглового Крысиного Короля из одного замечательного мультика. И не потому, что прокачка персонажа(раз уж завели здесь прокачку) застревает раньше середины игры. И не потому, что здесь по-ид ио тски расставлены порталы. А потому * уд ак, что ввёл мудацких енотов. И этот мудацкий енот сп*зд*л у меня сюжетный Красный Шар. И теперь я не могу дальше пройти. Автор, тебя в детстве еноты что ли обижали?? Ты нахрена их такими сделал?? Ps Я знаю, что енотов можно пиз д*ть. Но толку если из них всё время вываливается пропуск. PPS ЛЮДИ!!! Я В АХЕРЕ!!! У МЕНЯ СЮЖЕТНЫЙ КРАСНЫЙ ШАР СП И З ДИЛ МУ ДА Ц КИЙ ЕНОТ, Я НАЧАЛ ЗАНОВО ИСКАТЬ ЭТОТ ШАР И НАШЁЛ Я ЕГО В КРЫСИНОЙ НОРЕ!!!! ТАМ ГДЕ ДО ТОГО НАШЁЛ ЗЕЛЁНЫЙ ШАР!!! ЭТО БЛ КАК7??? А когда вы поняли, КАК активировать платформы? Я после середины игры. Это нормально?! В общем, много вопросов. Но. 1. Я прошёл игру без подсказок 2. Я получил хорошую концовку(а реально есть ещё плохая?) 3. Поэтому меняю минус на плюс.
Cute little metroidvania/point and click adventure hybrid game. Very reminiscent of *Fantastic Dizzy* only way more forgiving and with actual way to fight enemies. Takes about 3 hours for first time 100% run, about 45 minutes to speedrun, so not too long but the presentation makes up for it IMO. Worth a play.
La verdad no iba a recomendarlo por que al comienzo es muy tedioso, es un juego que basicmaente tienes que buscar distintos objetos tirados por el mapa para poder usarlos en ciertas zonas o en ciertas cosas. ahi estaba el problema, te dan mas de 20 objetos que no sabes donde carajo debes usar, incluso tuve que mirarme una guia varias veces para poder avanzar o te trancas en un area. pero luego que supe donde debes usar cada cosa es disfrutable sacarle todos sus logros fue divertido y es barato asi que si lo agarras en oferta compralo.
Um metroidvania super fraco, com um texto ruim de ler, mapas super confusos, mecânica de itens que mais desoriente o jogador para o objetivo do que qualquer outra coisa...
