Twizards by Nonameghost
The game about Tweeting Wizards that you never knew you needed.
A game for Ludum Dare 32 - Theme "Unconventional Weapons".
I got the idea of making a game about tweeting orders to a squad of commandos on a battlefield. HOWEVER, it turns out wizards are much cooler. So here was my attempt at making that game. Unfortunately there's no enemy AI or anything, so the game is mostly just a demo of what COULD be done.
You can type in "tweets" like:
"@BlueWizard move east,west.@RedWizard cast fire"
and then see the command play out. The game is over when one of the wizards gets hit by a spell.
I'm pretty pleased with the delivery at least, I think this time around I focused to much on making it look decent and not enough on getting the gameplay complete/fun. But the core is there, so I hope you enjoy it!

It would be cool to have a permanent visual reference, yes, there's a help panel, but when you're getting started you check that A LOT for the commands :P
So it'd be nice to be able to check all the info(or at least some references) without having to open that.
It's an interesting control mechanic and a clever take on the theme :D
Great job!
pretty solid aesthetic to boot, keeping it simple and clean. It's pretty charming
Great job though, unique idea.
