Maiden & Spell is a one-on-one magical girl aerial projectile fighter, featuring a colorful cast of ladies fighting with fantastic spells. Heavily influenced by the Touhou Project, Final Fantasy Dissidia and Furi, it features a mix of fantasy, magic, and bullet hell in a versus game like no other.

Fight as a magical girl!

Maiden & Spell isn’t like any other fighting game! You don’t punch or kick in the Kingdom of Stars. Instead, you fight with magical bullet hell patterns!

Battling with magic is simple! Just use your attacks, hit your opponent, and don’t get hit yourself! Each character has her own abilities that are all activated at a press of a button. There are no complex combos or intricate inputs or melee attacks or anything! Just a tiny hitbox, a lot of shining bullets, and your own dodging abilities.

A most curious dungeon

The Great Circle… a gigantic abyss on the edge of the map, said to be the most dangerous dungeon in the world. A group of young adventurers travels into its maw, seeking a powerful treasure. Awaiting them are cute monster girls, nonsensical architecture, and the ruins of a lost civilization once known as The Kingdom of Stars…

Pick a character and make your way down into the abyss! Meet a bunch of weird, barefooted monsters with blobs on their heads!

Then they attack you! Because of course they do. Monsters are evil, you know.

Oh well. Dealing with monsters is just what an adventurer does.

You can do this if you manage to hold Lich of Flower’s Defensive Special down for like 15 whole seconds and I think that’s just swell:

Hey, since you read this far! I would like to take a moment to thank the tumblr #gamedev community for everything up until now. I’ve been working on this game mostly by myself for almost 2 years, and doing this regular devblog thing for about 1 year.

So thank you, to everyone who played the demo, everyone who reblogged my gifs and terrible drawings, and most of all, thank you to all of those who gave me words of encouragement over the past year. I’ve had my ups and downs over developing this game, and all of you really gave me motivation to keep going.

Thanks for reading! Here’s the Steam link again! Gowishlistthegamesothatthesteamalgorithmblessesmeokaythanks
