Whirlwind Magician

Experience the tale of a cheerful girl and a grouchy talking hat in this charming Metroidvania, where every ability is hat-based! Throw the hat to attack enemies, teleport to him to make perilous leaps, and fly him through narrow tunnels of spikes as you escape a dangerous magic forest.

Playing with a keyboard and mouse is recommended for the best experience, as it supports 360° aiming, allowing you to throw the hat wherever you wish!

Handcrafted Platforming Challenges

Brave rooms that have all been thoughtfully designed to be challenging and interesting—including both tricky platforming and heart-pumping enemy encounters. They will test your familiarity and mastery of your abilities, so leap, throw, and teleport to victory!

Hidden Abilities and Devious Secrets

In addition to the usual Metroidvania secrets behind breakable walls, Whirlwind Magician features outside-the-box ways to use your abilities as well as secret ones that will open up shortcuts and change how you approach the game, inspired by popular speedrunning titles like Super Metroid.

Cute, Bickering Protagonists

Play as Viola—a cheerful and brave young girl who wants to become a magician, and Gibson—a grouchy and cautious talking hat who is reluctantly helping Viola find her way home. Watch their friendship grow as they bicker, argue, and learn to get along with their contrasting personalities.
