Brek'n'Bubble

NEW: Mac and PC version now available!

After the bold wizard had recovered the treasures from the vaults of the Seraphim and settled himself comfortably into his stylish, newly purchased, fantastic, magnificent, and enchanting castle, he soon grew bored. All the coins had been counted, all the diamonds polished, all the golden goblets, necklaces, and rings buffed to a brilliant shine. But what now?

Then he remembered his cousin, who more than 30 years earlier had tried to steal the treasures from an evil wizard named Brektwon and had failed miserably, as he had apparently not been quite the great wizard he believed himself to be. So then: surely there were still a few coins and pretty necklaces to be fetched as decoration for his dining hall…

Over the past decades, Brektwon had spread across an island and built numerous castles and catacombs in which he had left behind his little henchmen, all meant to drive away greedy visitors. He had transformed the glittering treasures into magical spheres, which were no less valuable than gold coins. He himself, however, had died and transformed his spirit in his private hall into a malevolent guardian that must be defeated if one wishes to claim a large slice of the treasure pie.

This is a merge between Block'n'Bubble and Brektwon. That means it's an action and logical puzzle game.
