Your career as an accomplished Spell Flinger is threatened when your arch-enemy Blackwing steals your Flingshot, so you have to retrieve it from the depths of the Pit he calls home. One of those games where every object has exactly one use. Some bugs, but none that obstruct victory. Somewhat linear, and easy except for a few nonsense puzzles, which can be solved by trial-and-error. Can be won in one sitting. Presumed humorous.
