Game Overview & History

Made for the Idle Thumbs forums Wizard Jam! Also the first real thing I’ve made using Game Maker and the first real programming I’ve done in around 15 years.

Once a year, wizards from across the land gather and compete to prove that they are worthy of being called The Wizard.

Gameplay Mechanics & Systems

They risk their lives in a deadly contest that sees them flinging devastating magic missiles back and forth until one wizard wavers, and is punished for it.

There can only be one The Wizard! Who will lay claim to the title? WILL IT BE YOU????
