To Catch a Wizard

Unfortunately, you're the one who's been caught.

You are a seasoned veteran in the world of wizard magic; there's just one problem. Your arch-nemesis. He always has the upper hand, and you've fallen victim to his magic again.

He has devised his most cunning trap yet; a dungeon, cursed with a spell that only allows its inhabitants to live their lives 10 seconds at a time. To add salt to the wound, he's scattered all of your most prized possessions just out of reach.

Will you escape, or are you doomed to spend the rest of your life trapped in this evil labyrinth?

Controls

  • WASD for movement
  • R to trigger the rewind event early (unnecessary, unless you're speedrunning)

Notes

  • this game is unfortunately bring-your-own-music; I ran out of time, and didn't want to ship it with the awful annoying track I had come up with :p

Changelog

These are minor changes I made during the jam. The originally uploaded files are still available if you'd like to play those instead.

  • 10/3/2022 - Added z/x as alternate keys for dash (shift wasn't working for some people)

Hall of Fame (spoilers!)
