Please Note: The game is still being developed, and there may be some inconsistencies in the screenshots/videos due to them being from older builds. Particularly in the artwork, which is the main thing being worked on right now. New screenshots will go up closer to release.
Scroll Scramble is a maze puzzle game about a hapless student wizard who just can't get the spells to stay in his head. In a last-ditch effort to learn the magic, our inept hero must travel into the magical scrolls and seek the knowledge in a... more hands-on fashion. You take control of Ian as he navigates the magical scrolls. Each spell is made up of a series of runes, and you must find them all before you can progress to the next spell. It's not just a matter of looking, however. Magic can be dangerous, and those dangers are manifest down here in the scrolls.
All game entities--including the player--are confined to a grid-based movement system, with wrinkles in the scroll parchment being impassible to all. The scrolls are full of a purple mist that represents the player's ignorance. The mist can hold other entities in place, but the player can remove it simply by walking through it. Once the mist has been removed, any entities it might have been confining can get out, so be careful what you set free!
