Wizard Rescue by Zayron
The master wizard has become very sick. You must go deep into the forest to find some herbs that will heal him. Unfortunately the master wizard never got around to teaching you the fireball spell. So you will have to defend yourself in unconventional ways.
Game Controls:
Jump = W or space bar
Right = D
Left = A
Magic/Weapon = Left Mouse shoots. Mouse Aims
Select magic/weapon with number keys.
1 = Poison Mist (damage)
2 = Air Blast (crowd control)
3 = Bubble Trap (crowd control)
4 = Thorn Seed (damage)
Hints:
- Thorns do damage over time as long as the enemy is in them.
- Aiming the thorns seeds can be tricky. Aim high above were you want them to land and the seeds will fly up then shoot down into the ground when they get above your target.
- Air Blast and Bubble trap do not do damage but are good for controlling the enemy while you use poison mist or thorn seeds.

Fun game for sure. Great music, which i think is key. Fell to my death once because the guy didn't jump for no apparent reason, but overall pretty fun.

Simple, but the framework is there to expand it. Nice work!

kinda neat - I enjoyed the different spells a lot, but wished I could select them with the numberpad keys!

Awesome game! The gameplay is nice, and the graphics are cool. The controls could be occasionally laggy, but for the most part they were fine.

Favourite weapon was the air blast which worked really well with enemies on platforms or edges. Got the herbs at the end.

This is a nice and simple game, and it's pretty challenging as well. It was really fun to play around with all of the different attacks, although the poison mist could use some balancing - it seemed like there was little reason to use it over the thorn seed. Good work overall~

Lol, my favorite part was the wizard hat left behind when you inevitably perish.

Works fine in Wine. Smooth gameplay, a bit too hard for my poor skills but I'm sure many people will enjoy it. The music is great, but the sound is a bit too loud in comparison.

Nice entry. Maybe you should implement something like a health-bar, so the player gets better direct feedback. Sometimes I wasn't sure i am making damage

I like the different weapons, and the particles look very pleasing. The level design could have been made a bit more interesting, I've managed to win the game without shooting at all, just by jumping over all the enemies. Of course there could also be more content, but that's something for post-compo. Otherwise, good job!

It would be good if there was variable jump height and a little extra area where you could still jump after you walk off the floor.

Nice game! My Bubble Bobble instinct had me trying to jump into bubbles to kill them :) I wasn't able to kill with the poison or thorns. Pushing enemies into the abyss with Air Blast was most effective for me.

The sound effects were too loud compared to the background music!
