In Magic Pockets, you control a boy named Bitmap Kid. The boy's trouser pockets are, as the game name suggest, magical. Their charm lies in their endless storage space. You could say that the boy has deep pockets. One fine day, the insidious creatures decided to steal from his pocket, which they did. So Kid has no choice but to go on a long journey to get his toys back. Magic Pockets is a classic platformer genre. Kid walks, jumps and throws objects at enemies; in addition, he can ride bicycles, dive and even fly with the help of special objects. During his adventurous journey, Bitmap Kid eliminates enemies and collects his toys and various bonus items (lollipops, coins, stars, ...). Kid's Wandering leads through four diverse areas: cave, jungle, river and mountains. Each area is inhabited by other enemies. Overcoming levels is divided into stages, including bonuses.
