The Amazing Crackpots Club is a fast-paced, action-packed competitive game where the main objective is to destroy your opponent’s
giant potion, while protecting your own potion from incoming shots!
To damage the potion, you Shoot bullets. To protect your potion, you Strike those bullets to deflect them in the opposite direction. As shots collide with the giant potion, it'll start filling up with magical power. Once a potion is completely filled, it'll explode in a giant flash of renergy and unleash a devastating spell upon the losing team.
Use everything in your power to prevent this from happening! You’ll have these four unique abilities at your disposal:
STRIKE
This is the most basic of abilities, used to physically hit nearby bullets to deflect them back in the opposite direction. Whatever happens, if you’re near a bullet, you’ll always be able to strike it!
SHOT
The main way to deal damage! You can hold the button to make your shot stronger! Shooting leaves you unable to move for a moment or two, so time your shots carefully, or you won't have enough time to defend your potion! Always be aware that bullets can, and WILL be deflected!
SPECIAL
Your signature move! These abilities cost mana, but are absolutely vital to be able to deflect the shots that are too fast, or too far away to be struck! Most of these abilities are designed to enhance mobility, but some also let you hit shots from a distance without having to get close!
ULTIMATE
This is your most powerful ability! As you continue to shoot and deflect bullets, you’ll fill up your Ultimate Meter. Once it’s full, you’ll be able to use your Ultimate, which are abilities that can completely turn the tide in your favor. All Ultimates are unique and have their own purposes!
At the very core of The Amazing Crackpots Club lies its roster of characters. While everyone shares the same four ability types, they all put their own spin into it! All wizards are very different from each other, and require completely unique strategies to come out on top!
A confident, reckless, but still friendly wizard-in-training that calls upon the power of the stars with the sheer force of his will! Rigel is an easy-to-learn, hard-to-master character that excels at speed. His special move: Comet Boost, allows him to zoom across the stage in an instant to reach any bullet with ease. Use his Ultimate: Cosmic Flare at the right time to forcibly stun your opponent, allowing you to score bullets with ease!
Sarah “Sadie” Lilianne Millicent is an expert in Space-Time manipulation, and has achieved such mastery that she can duel without even looking up from her books. Requiring high technical skill, she can slow-down bullets, teleport, and set up convenient traps to surprise her opponents. Her strike allows her to absorb bullets inside a tiny portable portal, which she can then throw in any direction before the bullets reappear.
Teacher at the prestigious Abracavial Academy of Actual Witchcraft, Breezedemus is a graceful and fabulous master of wind magic, which he uses to defeat his opponents in style! His strike allows him to fly towards any direction, while his special lets him hit bullets from afar without having to get close! When the screen is filled with a large amount of bullets, his Ultimate: Grace of the Hurricane can quickly overwhelm his foes!
A Hyperactive and fun-loving giant sentient moth that is obsessed with anything shiny. Mothilda uses her magic to summon special (and very shiny) glitter dust clouds she uses as shields. With a high mobility and a double jump, she doesn’t have much trouble navigating any stage. Her glitter clouds let her block bullets passively, but on a button press, she unleashes a slow, yet highly powerful glitter strike that powers up bullets!
A super friendly and hyper positive minotaur who thinks that the best magic is a healthy body! Mooscles doesn’t have the best mobility, and his special move has limited use, but his large body covers a wide area, letting him reach bullets very easily. If he strikes bullets multiple times, they’ll receive a speed increase that can stack very quickly, and his Ultimate lets him become even larger, boosting all his properties!
Daughter of the evil queen of frost, Moranna dreams of world domination, and might just have the power to succeed! Her Ice magic lets her freeze bullets and even other duelists, and unlike the rest of the cast, she flies freely across the arena without the need of a jump! Her Ultimate summons a powerful blizzard that pushes all bullets towards the opponent’s side.
An interchange student from a faraway land, Kiyumi is a gentle half-fox spirit wrangler who commands the not-so-gentle spirit, Kitsuro, who probably wants you dead. You control Kiyumi directly, while you command Kitsuro with her Strike to go after distant bullets. Her strong mobility coupled with the far-reaching Strike is a very formidable combination, but she usually finds herself in trouble when needing to play more defensively.
That's the general idea! The game is fast-paced, and matches can get pretty hectic! Standard matches involve best-of-X rounds, but there are also additional modes with specialized rules. Rules are highly customizable too, allowing you to change things like game speed, resource management, items, power-ups and more!
