Fixed a bug that would cause aiming to incorrectly remember the last aimed position and attempt to compensate. This made aiming feel odd.
Bean Wizard is an absolute blast of offbeat humor and surprisingly tight arcade gameplay. Billed as the world's first 'anthill twin-stick shooter', the game drops you into subterranean tunnels where swarms of blaster-wielding Gonklins rush your position. The ridiculous premise of slinging magical beans at aggressive alien bugs is backed up by fast, responsive controls and great weapon variety.
Experimenting with the 18 distinct bean spells—ranging from freezing ice beans to chain-lightning bursts—gives the combat genuine depth. The inclusion of wireless local 2-player co-op is a fantastic bonus, making it one of the most enjoyable pick-up-and-play action titles currently on iOS for short co-op gaming sessions.
120+ handcrafted level stages spanning across 40+ unique planetary maps
18 distinct collectible bean spell types with unique combat effects
5 playable wizard characters with unique active stats and passives
Wireless local 2-player co-op mode for couch multiplayer action
Fast-paced twin-stick shooter controls optimized for mobile touch and controllers
Swap between different bean types on the fly—use ice beans to freeze charging Gonklins before detonating explosive fire beans into dense clusters.
Visit the shop between planet stages to invest collected loot into weapon spread, spell cooldown reduction, and movement speed.
Navigate tight tunnels and planetary arenas using dual-stick controls to dodge laser fire while blasting hordes of alien insects.
Connect locally with a friend to tackle campaign stages together, combining complementary elemental spell loadouts for maximum damage.
Yes, Bean Wizard features a wireless local 2-player co-op mode so you can clear planets with a friend.
The game features 5 unique playable characters and 18 upgradeable bean spells.
The king didn’t stand a chance. One of the funnest things I’ve ever played. Took one look at the store page and was sending my money before I even knew what was happening. Only complaint would be losing out on my god-given cherries and gold when beating a level, watching them float to the top without a thing I can do about it, but it’s really not a big deal. Didn’t stop the evisceration.
I’m not much of a gamer. I play more so, when I need to fill some empty time. With bean wizard I find time to play! Super fun and challenging! 10/10
Seems like an interesting game, but it’s far too easy. After beating 1-2 levels you will be at a point where the rest of the game is trivial. Feels much more like an unfinished beta full of bugs and needed balance changes, rather than a full game. If they update it and fix it I’ll certainly change this review but I see no indication of a plan forward
This game is super unique and hilarious. Bean wizard is a good time and an easy pick up and play type game. I recommend it! How often so you EVER get to play a BEAN game haha
