Tower Of The Wizard
Free GameAbout Tower Of The Wizard
The mad Wizard in his tower has sent his minions to terrorize the countryside. With the army away in foreign lands, a lone stranger enters the Wizard's tower to end his menace.
You play as a lone adventurer who seeks to put an end to the threat of the mad wizard. Navigate a challenging dungeon, filled with traps and foes. Use the map that you will pick up early on in order to find various equipment, and use them in turn to traverse the myriad obstacles the tower presents to you. In the tower you will find a spear that will allow you to slay foes and bounce on their heads, a pair of gloves that will allow you so slide down walls and also cling to them and jump from them, and last but not least, a light cloak that will allow you to glide as you fall.
Tower of The Wizard: Gameboy Adventure (full title), is a metroidvania platformer at heart. You need to explore a vast, open castle, and use your map and your skills to progress. The game is a love letter to the old platformers, and is very challenging. You will need a lot of patience and practice to progress in the game, but once you finally cross a pesky section by pulling off a series of connected maneuvers, you will feel like the biggest badass of them all!
Features:
1) A big tower to explore, consisting of 36 connected rooms.
2) 4 fun character upgrades.
3) 5 different enemy types (not counting the final boss!)
4) 4 different trap types.
5) Challenging and rewarding platform gameplay, interwoven with basic combat mechanics.
6) An intense and surprising boss fight at the end.
7) Retro graphics, inspired by the 4-color palette, and the pixel height (144px) of the gameboy.
8) Chiptune soundtrack.
Upcoming Features:
1) Game Timer for you speedrun nuts!
2) Highscores / Leaderboards.
3) Achievements.
Would love to get your input on what can be improved!
Final Note:
The game's difficulty was scaled down, to accommodate the sometimes clunky controls on mobile devices. Controls are mostly fine and responsive, but very rarely a button will get stuck or something, so I made the game a bit easier to offset that :)

24/03 : it's certainly better, but didn't do anything for the grip issue. Even though I keep my thumb "pressed" on the directional buttons while climbing, the game randomly stops registering the input.

The game is pretty decent, but the ending confuses me. Is the wizard you fight really the final boss, because every time you kill him text appears telling you the room was an illusion, and nothing is explained. There is no way to backtrack from the boss to earlier, and I'm not sure if I am really at the end of the game, or not.

I would have given this game perfect if the controls were not as bad as they are. Many times the arrow keys have decided to give out on me making a possible jump impossible. Also getting hit should not send you back as far.

Excellent quick-fix Metroidvania. Had some control issues, but they were patched out and now it controls really well. Still tough in spots, but it feels fair when you die now. Highly recommended.

Had a very hard time with controls randomly letting go, but regardless, I definitely enjoyed it.

As a platformer game, this needs to have much better controls in order for it to be enjoyable. Frequently, the input for my controls would simply stop if I got damaged, or simply landed on the ground again after a jump. Overall, you jump and fall much slower than necessary, and even moving left and right feels slow and clunky. This makes precise platforming actions very difficult, and obstacles that would be easy to overcome in other games were very frustrating in this one.

The controls are dodgy, hit-detection is fuzzy, and whether or not you wall grip is very random.

Game seems fun but ads are so frequent it's hard to stay interested long enough to get anywhere.

Great game but excessive number of ADs interrupt the game play and flow. Uninstalled after 15 mins. Will test again later to see if it has improved.

But controls are awful...!! When jump to sides, the char just jump straight vertical. I must do it a couple of time to jump left or right. Maybe the arrow buttons are to close each other. Please add option to adjust buttons and you have 5

Will go down as a classic. To notch gameplay, visuals and audio.

The game is challenging, but only because of the poor controls. If you get hit in mid air, you can't move. If you get hit, your weapon doesn't work. The gameplay is basically just a test on memorizing the rooms patterns, but you have to have pixel perfect precision. With the bad controls, it just makes it frustrating, not fun.
