Mage Madness

Made for the Pixel Game Jam 2023

Game Engine: Unity

Experience: I consider myself a beginner in game dev but have been programming for years. 

Theme Relevance: I wanted to think outside of the box and instead of doing a mystery game I did an action game. The catch is that you play as a wizard who is so incredibly powerful he can't grasp his powers. So when you left click to cast a spell and attack a different spell is casted. There's a mysterious cryptic text on the bottom left of the screen that tells you what your next spell cast actually is but it must be deciphered or remembered. Also the game gives you very little instructions to add on to the idea of mystery.

- Chest Puzzle Solution: ONLY open the chest on the left end and right end

- Blue & Red Button Puzzle Solution: ONLY step on buttons with a flag above it on the wall. The only exception is you also have to step on the blue button on the far left as the flag was moved because of the broken wall.
