About The Wizard Game
A first person arcade style game with low poly art. You play as a wizard with a selection of six different abilities, and try to get a high score against growing waves of monsters.
ABILITIES:
As a wizard you have access to six different magical abilities that you can swap between every round.
Fire: A powerful attack to damage all enemies within a radius.
Time: An ability that lets you stop time for a few seconds, allowing you to escape enemies and plan your next move.
Speed: Gain a massive amount of speed for a brief period of time to escape enemy attacks.
Dash: Perform a short dash in any direction and damage any enemies you hit.
Rapid Fire: Be able to fire your energy balls at a much faster rate.
Illusion: Create a ghost of your character that enemies will try to chase after instead of you.
MONSTERS:
To get a high score you must fight against several enemies.
Zombie: A basic enemy that will try to run up and attack you.
Skeleton: A more advanced enemy that will run up to you very fast, attack you, then run away.
Zombie King: A hooded figure that summons zombies and teleports around to stop you from attacking it.
Giant Spider: A massive spider that can run up and deal a lot of damage very quickly, however does get stunned when delt damage.
Stone Golumn: A huge monster made up from floating rocks that can jump into the air and land on top of you, dealing massive damage.
MODS:
The game also has a extremely mod friendly game engine, allowing you to change any game files, and create custom maps, model packs, enemies, gamemodes, etc. All of the scripting is done in lua, and there is plenty of code to look at and modify.

Spamming spacebar with mouselook and WASD controls is making my hand cramp. Can't figure out Abilities. Die after a few waves, with 35,000 points. Decide to play tutorial to see how to play. I am determined to get the 100,000 point achievement. Turns out you can ~hold~ space to fire. This slows your movement, but saves your wrist. Abilities are Left Shift. There are not binding options in menus to show you this. You have to play the Tutorial. Realize that having to take your hand from the mouse to hit enter to start a round is annoying since you then have to return your hand to your mouse quickly to look around. Die after a round where I got unlucky and got three golems. Their jumps synced up, and they caused more than the 10 hp I have. You only have 10hp, and there's no way to regain health.
