Slightly Magic was an arcade-adventure game written by Colin Jones and released in 1991 by Codemasters for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum. The game play has been compared to Dizzy, where the player must explore and find items in order to proceed. Slightly Magic expanded upon this concept by incorporating spells, that when merged with certain items, can alter the main characters physical structure into a bird, fish, and even an invisible form of himself.
The rights to the game have recently reverted back to Colin Jones, who upon playing the game after so many years quickly realized that there was room for improvement. His desire was not only to remake this retro classic for a variety of systems (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, OUYA), but also to finally release the lost trilogy of Slightly games.
OUYA has agreed to match each pledge up to a max of $250,000. If enough money is raised, then Jones will release an updated build of Slightly Spooky, his unreleased [yet completed] sequel to the 1st game. He will also plan and develop the final game in the trilogy, something he has always desired to accomplish.
