Magic Maze is a low-tech top-down monster-bashing maze game (inspired by the classic game Gauntlet) implemented using Ruby/SDL.

You take control of an old bearded wizard making his way through complex mazes in search of the exit, searching for coloured keys to coloured doors and vanquishing all the monsters in his path.

Additional System Requirements: Ruby 1.8 or higher.

SDL, SDL_image and SDL_mixer (version 1.2 or higher).

RubySDL (version 0.9.x or higher).

As a hero penguin (what other protagonist character would a free game have, hm?) you must create, destroy and move blocks of ice to destroy enemies and extinguish demonic hell fire.

Each level has one or more solutions and the simplistic "physics" requires you to think ahead, one mistake and a restart might be the only option. Once you get into it, thinking ahead will come more natural. Who knows, you might even submit your own, really difficult level and let others try to find the best solution?

Additional System Requirements: Requires PyGame (libsdl, SDL_Mixer and SDL_image) and a mighty sense of logic. ;)

You probably want some sort of 2D hardware acceleration, there's a lot of blending and translucent graphics.
