wololo has released a new version of Wagic for the PSP, heres the release details;

I’m happy to say that version 0.2.1 is now available for download. Thanks to all the beta testers who helped (a lot !) in finding bugs and (hopefully) making this release even better than version 0.2.0. I’ll try to release the sources later this weekend (gotta go to a party right now and I’m already late…)

There is quite an amount of changes in this new release, as you can see below. Overall the game should be more stable, as lots of memory leaks have been solved, and some critical bugs have been corrected. I was also expecting it to be faster, but unfortunately some of the features and checks that have been added add some slowness when there are a lot of cards on the screen. Hopefully I’ll find a way to solve that in next release.

Trample is now broken, oh well… you can find the complete list of known bugs here. I’ll also update this list in the days to come, with reports I got from the beta testers.

Here’s a small video showing a few AI vs AI games. Nothing fancy, as there’s not that much graphical changes since version 0.1.0 (but you’ve got to check the deck editor !) Vid above

Changelog

Do you have to know the game first to understand how to play or is there some instructions or a tutorial teaching you the basics?

There's a pdf manual including in the archive that gives you the basics of the gameplay. It should be enough to get started, even if you don't know the rules of Magic
