Collect ingredients with magic, December 26, 2024
by Lance Cirone (Backwater, Vermont)

SpeedIFs are always a bit hard to review, because they have so little to discuss by nature. Still, A Wizard Goes Shopping is a fun five-minute adventure. You have to collect lobster, mango, and fettucine by exploring four aisles of the grocery store and casting spells to help you reach what you need. I think this concept could easily be expanded into a longer game.
