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 amenities 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 defense!
— Dean F. Bohlt

Developer Notes

This game is a remake of a game jam entry I made for the 2024 GameDev.tv Game Jam (https://starlightlacuna.itch.io/the-wizard-tower-jam-version). The original game was written in Phaser 3, but this version is a complete open source remake in Godot.
