Description:

Summon your spells, as well as your wits as you duke it out in Wittle Wizards! This game is a 1v1 Platform Arena Shooter where players knock each other off the map by shooting each other. The more you hit your opponent, the higher their percent goes and the higher the percent the higher the knockback. The first one to eliminate their opponent 3 times is the winner!

GAME DOWNLOAD IS ON ITCH | UNREAL ENGINE GAME

Controls:

** ONLY PLAYER 1 CAN USE KEYBOARD, PLAYER 2 MUST USE CONTROLLER (Both can use Controller) - Move: WASD // Left Stick - Aim: Mouse // Right Stick - Shoot Fireball: E // Right Trigger - Shoot Bolt: Q // Right Bumber - WindLaunch: C // Right Face Button (B or Circle) - Jump: Space Bar // Bottom Face Button (A or Cross) - Roll: Shift // Left Face Button (X or Square)

Gameplay Tips:

  • You only have one wind launch (recovery) per time in the air so make good use of it!
  • Spells have a cooldown between firing however there isn't a cooldown between Fireballs and Bolts
  • You can roll multiple times in the air so spam it to help fight the knock back

KNOWN BUGS/MISSING FEATURES:

  • No ability to change sensitivity or graphics settings
  • Projectile firing does depend on hardware. On bad hardware projectiles won't travel and fall to the ground (If this happens I'm so sorry we're working on it)

The gameplay is great fun! (fortunately, parsec was there with my friends so that two of us could play). And I LOVE the 3D assets, and the colorimetry. The characters are adorable, and from what I've seen, our little magicians' capes don't end up bugged in the characters x)

Very cute! It may have been user error, but I couldn't get the controller to switch to the second player

This is a very epic game! Really impressive given the time-limit. The characters are super cute, and I love their animations. Can't wait to 1v1 some more people in the future!

Very fun to play this game! I had a little hard time figuring out the controls at the beginning but 3 SDs later i think i got a handle on it! Really sick for a two man team!

Wonderful WittleWizards! The sensitivity was quite high on the right analog stick when playing the game, but it ran well and the graphics are awesome!

@yoruvii @pseudonclide @mr-kvinter : Thank you! The graphics were really fun to work on, I'm glad y'all enjoyed it.

@alldee : Getting it working over parsec is so sick, so happy to hear that works and that you enjoyed it!

@jkazuk : Thanks for playing. My best guess for why it wasn't working is because for some reason unreal 5.3 doesn't separate the first controller and keyboard as separate control schemes so you need at least two controllers to get it working. Sorry about that

Charming visuals and delightful character design enhance this fun multiplayer game. Some minor control issues need ironing out, but overall, a very enjoyable experience!

This is a really great project, and a genius idea. You made took a very simple starting product and polished it out into a super fun little 1v1 party game! This is the type of project I could easily see expanding into something more. The art is super polished and adorable, and the gameplay feels great! Great Job!

Really love the concept and the adorable cat models! I’ve been playing it with my roommates and it’s been really fun as a quick little party game! This is also really impressive as a two person developer team!

A fully multiplayer platform 3rd person arena shooter in this time limit is actually *really* impressive. Well done!
