The Wizard Tower

Congratulations, wizard! As a new graduate from the College and in accordance with the Ancient Pact, you have been granted a tower. Unfortunately, the high aether inflation rates in recent years meant we had to cut several ammenities from your new abode. Don't worry, your tower still has a leyline focus, so you can still cast fire bolts to your heart's content. In fact, we highly encourage you to do so, as we had to forgo the customary barrier wards. Please expect to defend your tower from all manner of nasty creatures.

Once again, congratulations on graduating, and good luck on the tower defence!

Developer Notes

This game will NOT run on Safari. The sound files I used were formatted as Ogg Vorbis, which that browser unfortunately does not support 😞. Please use a different browser to play this game.

This game was developed for the 2024 GameDev.tv Game Jam, which was the first ever game jam I participated in. It was made using Phaser 3, which I essentially learned from scratch during the 10 days the game jam lasted. In retrospect, that was a terrible idea, as my hopes for a well-written codebase and cool features like upgrades and score tracking went out the window during the final days. Nevertheless, I'm happy that I was able to create this. I learned a lot and I had fun. I hope you enjoy the game too 🧙‍♀️.
