Drunk Wizard by Nbrowning5

[raw]
made by Nbrowning5 for Ludum Dare 51 (JAM)

As a powerful wizard, you have an onslaught of unstoppable spells at your disposal! However in your current drunken state, your not exactly at your full power. Your only choice is to run from the army of goblins, while using the few spells you can remember to cast!

CONTROLS: WASD to move, mouse to aim, and right click, left click, and space to cast spells.

Whenever a spell is cast, it goes on cool down for ten seconds, and then swaps to a different spell. Cast Wisely!

As a powerful wizard you can: - Throw a water balloon, and leave a pool of goblin killing liquid - Summon a demon, and trick the goblins into a deadly trap - Charge with drunken fury,annihilating everything in your path - Teleport anywhere, which can be recast to teleport back to where you came - Summon a ferret, who loves eating goblins (Wish him a happy bday too!) - Stop time, while gaining super speed and invincibilty - Cast waves of bubbles, filled with soap lethal to dirty goblins - Transform into a Giant, and smash anything below your feet - Snap half of the universe, and create a more festive atmosphere - Hail a storm of acorns, that transform into disgusting tree monsters

The theme of every ten seconds inspired us to make a game where every move you have gets replaced with a new one after ten seconds.

The attacks were very interesting and creative, I liked the randomness which forces you to do some quick thinking. My favorite has got to be turning to a drunken giant and stomping everything to death.

This game was hillarious. I love the whack powerups. There's not that much gameplay, but I lol'ed.

Thanks for making it!

Oh man having a game with all spells having 10 second cooldowns was one of the ideas I thought going with so it's great to see it realized, and you did a lot better job than I could have, the spells are so damn creative! The balance is just right where you feel overpowered but still vulnerable to attacks, a proper glass cannon like a wizard should be. Great work!

Really fun! The the gameplay itself and also the whole mood and vibe of the game! Controls feels nice and ten seconds in spells is a just the right amount! Not too little and not too much! Art is nice and really makes everything more fun and enjoyable! Good job making all of this work with this theme! :)

This was HILARIOUS. I loved the unsettling nonsense-factor of some of the spells (like summoning a crying anime girl that lures in enemies before suddenly ARGH SPIDER LEGS).

A great thing about it is the way it lures you into a false sense of security. Your bizarro magic is POWERFUL, even if you can't control which spells you get: most of them are fairly OP by default! The catch is, even with all the destructive power at your disposal, the goblin horde is JUST. THAT. INTENSE.

This game is a fever dream, and i LOVE IT! The randomness was really entertaining, the game wasnt too hard or too easy, a great balance, and i had a blast playing it. Solid game, good job.

Very humorous game! I was laughing from the moment I started playing, especially when using the skills. The character design is very appropriate, especially the staff held upside down. The skill animations are very funny and many of them can even be used as memes. Love this game! Great work!

First thought: Oh, a simple survival game.
Second thought: What the fuck.
I really did like the humour of it. Nice Game!

I loved the humour in this one! Very creative spells, and the cooldowns felt like just the right length so I think the theme really shined in this game. Nice entry!

Extra clever way of explaining the in-narrative reason for the switching spells. The graphics are a bit crude but they work with the tone. A surprising amount of variety in the spells. My biggest gripe was that the difficulty didn't escalate fast enough for my taste, meaning the game got a bit boring at times.
