Wizard's Tournament

Sling spells and weave through your opponents' incantations to win the Wizard's Torunament! A single player hybrid between a fighting game and a shmup. Winning quickly or by taking little damage earns you a higher score, which can be used to unlock new spells and stages. 

This is an abandoned and incomplete game which I developed in Multimedia Fusion almost 15 years ago, when I was just getting into making games. I found it on an old hard drive and while it is incomplete I was surprised over how much fun I still had playing it.  Perhaps others will as well, so I decided to share it on Itch. Have fun and post your high score in the comments!

There is a tutorial which introduces the controls and mechanics. The game is controlled with keyboard and mouse. On first launch you get a message to playtesters in Norwegian which you can skip. Safe to say it is no longer relevant.

I did everything except for the music, which is by Jon Lunde and the title screen background which is by Rudolf Salvesen. Enjoy my amateur pixel art. The teleporter effect from the first wizard is also not something I would have been able to create at the time, but unfortunately I cannot remember where I got it from.

The game is incomplete and there are several bugs, several of which seemingly stem from running this old Multimedia Fusion executable on newer Windows. These are thankfully mostly cosmetic as I only have the executable now and would have no way of fixing it:

• The score screen at the end of combat does not render properly.
• The enemy selection preview spins constantly.
• The fourth enemy does not attack you nor can they be killed.
• My wizard's wand one time started rendering as other random sprites from the project.
