Magic Pockets

About

Magic Pockets is a side-scrolling platformer from The Bitmap Brothers that tasks you with navigating a series of colorful but treacherous levels. You control a character with a literal magic pocket that fires bouncing oranges to clear obstacles and defeat enemies. The gameplay mixes precise jumping with timing-based attacks, all set to a bouncy 90s synth soundtrack. Each level introduces new hazards and power-ups, keeping the challenge fresh as you collect coins and avoid bottomless pits. The game’s most memorable feature is its use of Betty Boo’s "Doin’ The Do" instrumental as the main theme, giving it a quirky retro charm. While it never became a commercial hit, it’s gained a small but devoted following among fans of 90s PC and Amiga games. The single-player focus and retro difficulty curve make it a nostalgic pick for those who miss old-school platforming with humor.
