Tech Wiz

Tech Wiz is a game about exploring strange worlds and learning their magical powers.

You are a lost wizard from another world flying your spaceship through worlds, and you wake up lost, crash-landed on a mysterious world that looks like an artist's workshop, inhabited by strange paint droplet people. Through talking with the people and reading the signs, you must crack the mystery of the wireframe objects...

In the food world, you get to be the chef of a miniature kitchen in a soup cauldron! The saying in this world is that "Good cooking can take one to new heights"...

Controls
