SUPERHAIR 2 REVENGE OF THE WIZARD

This new SuperHair isometric adventure journey is the continuation of Mr. Hair's series of adventures. After defeating the wizard in SuperHair, he has taken revenge on you, stripped you of your powers of flight and put a curse on you to be stuck in this god forsaken planet... Your mission is to find and defeat the wizard. Only then will it break the curse, so you regain your powers and fly off to freedom. But with all his might, the wizard will try to stop you from finding him and create obstacles, hazards and deadly creepies along the way. His spying eyes will be watching your every move from the dark shadows above whilst mocking you with his evil laugh... Good Luck SuperHair!!
