Ladies. Gentlemen.  This game is Wizard is a kinda-sorta remake of Wizard on the C64. Development is coming along nicely, and I'm at a point where it's fully playable. I thought I'd release a build and get some feedback. The build is for Windows. XP and Vista should both work. It should run on a moderately ok computer. (Sorry Mac people, an OS X version is coming, I promise.) Arrow Keys: Move Spacebar: Jump Ctrl: Use Spell (when available) Esc: Back to Menu Alt+F4: Quit It auto-saves your progress. Try and get all the treasures on all levels; that's where the real challenge lies. All feedback welcome. http://www.brasshats.com/wizard/This_game_is_Wizard-Oct-08-2008.zip (1 MB)   |

Quite enjoyable.  This kind of reminded me of my favorite Amiga games of the old, Spherical. Man, the hours spent on rollin' that ball... |

Pretty awesome puzzle-y game! Some of those levels were brilliantly asshole-ish. I've got 100% treasures in every level. I can't imagine getting 100% perfects in some of them.

Thanks for this game!
Got 100% perfects up to level 30ish.
More levels would be incredible. I love the level design so far.

Awesome. Good difficulty ramp and training. Some of the later stages get keyboard-smashingly hard (in a good way). Movement feels good, especially air jumping and double jumping. I've been trying to get at least 100% treasure on every level...missed a couple, but I'm sure I'll get them eventually.  Minor gripe: I didn't actually notice there was a difference between 100% treasure and 100% perfect until I read Cossix's post. Maybe this distinction could be made clearer somehow. |

How do you get perfect? I've gotten the theif bonus which I assume is for those who don't get/use the keys and still finish the level, but what's this perfect thing?

100% treasures means you collected all the treasures but took damage.
100% perfect means you collected all the treasures without taking damage.
And the other thing... well that's a secret. Although, I think I should probably explain why you got it, maybe on the level complete screen. "For <doing a certain something> you have received a <secret thing>!"

Well done - good level design. I love the little tiles. And the demoscene intro is fucking rad - can't believe no one has mentioned that yet! Only thing its lacking are some SID tunes.

Ace, this is what platform games are about, a set of simple mechanics used in increasingly ingenious/challenging ways. |

Amazing game, great work! ^_^ Very charming game in general.
(for some reason I see the treasure as cats with giant heads, but I like collecting cats)
Please hurry up with the mac version, I'd like to play this on my main machine. Runs nicely on my XP laptop though.
