Magic Maniax 5

The Yolkfolk have a party in Keldor Forest.

Unknown to them, the evil Wizard Zaks is watching them from his Cloud Castle.

To get Dizzy's attention, he fires a spell somewhere down into the mountains.
The explosion in the mountains gets Dizzy's attention, he goes off to find Theodore....

This is the first Magic Maniax game that introduces a new platform engine created by David Newton.

The engine solves the issue where you stick to walls and ceilings, it also gives Dizzy the ability to double jump and bounce on mushrooms properly.

This game uses a brand new password system which can only be accessed via the game's Main Menu option.
You will find passwords for each zone after every boss fight.

The first level of the game acts as a tutorial, read the scrolls found in the game to get to grips with how the game works.

KNOWN BUGS

- Before you run this game, make sure you don't have any other Programs running in the background.
One of the open Programs could appear blocking the game from view.

- There are problems where the scrolling appears wavy/wobbly in the game, the issue is heavily visible on a few levels.

- Even though David Newton's Platform Engine successfully fixes the issues with sticking to walls and ceilings.
I cannot seem to find any way of getting Dizzy to stay on vertical lifts, walking diagonally and climb up and down on ladders.

- You may find yourself having to jump over boulders as Dizzy cannot simply cannot walk over them.
Again, It's a major problem with David Newton's Platform Engine.

- Dizzy can bounce off walls in the underwater levels. (Those levels do not use the Platform engine)

If you are able to help me with the mentioned bugs, please let me know by contacting me via The Dizzy Fansite/The Dizzy Community.

You will have your name mentioned in the game's Credits.
(There could be more bugs in the game that I haven't mentioned here.)

SECRET

On Chapter 5, Part 1, touch the tall tree on the top of the rocky hill with the falling boulders.

Then walk back down the rocky hill where you will find a strange symbol waiting at the bottom, take the item to Prince Clumsy which will reveal a scrolly message with the password to instantly face Zaks with 6 Lives and full health.

If you do not wish to use the password, you can still continue the game from Chapter 5, Part 2 with Six Lives and full health.
