The (Not So) All-Powerful Wizard

A free downloadable single-player action-puzzle game for Windows.

As a wizard, well trained in the arts of wind and ice magic, you'll find yourself at a disadvantage in this old castle. The enemies here all wield a spear and shield which are very dangerous for you... But also, to each other! As your abilities are limited to freezing and pushing enemies away, it is very unlikely that you could do any damage. If only there was a way to turn these enemies on each other!

You control a wizard and must use your wits and quick-thinking in order to freeze and push the enemies into traps or each other. The objective of each level is to defeat all the enemies in order to advance through the castle. The game contains 9 (?) levels to test your puzzle-solving abilities, are you able to complete it?

About

This game was made and submitted by a team of three for the GameDev Underground's "GDU Jam 5 - #FINISHIT!". The game jam lasted for 70 hours between March 26^th – 29^th. The theme was "Use enemies as weapons!", which greatly impacted the game design.

It was a lot of fun to make, and we went overboard with the scope during the game jam. We spent approximately 110 hours between us during the game jam, uploading the game in the last few seconds with some game breaking bugs.

We spent another 160 hours the following Easter vacation and weeks of April by fixing bugs, adding features and adding some polishing touches in order to bring you the game we imagined at the beginning of the jam. It takes approximately 8-15 minutes to complete, we hope you have fun playing it!
