About the game:Wizard's Tower is a colorful single player adventure/puzzle game for the PC. In this game, the player assumes the role of a young magic student named Tisha, who is taking her final test to become a full-fledged Wizard. The test's objective is to traverse a big tower full of monsters and puzzles all the way to the top and retrieve the Magic Amulet, an item which is guarded by a powerful magical beast, Chimera. To accomplish this, the player can make use of Tisha's magic spells to defeat monsters, but the player will also need to use his intelligence to solve the puzzles of the tower and climb all its floors. To solve puzzles the player can use basic abilities like pushing blocks, activating levers and switches, breaking objects and opening chests. The tower's floors also feature several traps that will challenge the player's progress. Tisha will find several types of pick-ups in the adventure, some will allow her to cast additional spells while others will replenish health or yield score points.
