Taking after the classics, Wizard Woes is a brutally difficult (some may say unfair) action platformer where you take control of Wizard as she battles through the Woeful Tower. Use your magical abilities to fend off the various enemies in her wake. 

Wizard Woes combines tight difficult platforming (we promise all the jumps are possible), action packed combat, randomized levels, a dark aesthetic, and a thrilling soundtrack to create an adventure you wont want to miss. Wizard Woes features "randomization"™ which will provide new challenges in every playthrough.

Generic Game Reviewer says, "[Insert dark souls comparison here], a little something for everyone 8.5/10" 

So bust out your Gameboy Color (or try expert mode on the Gameboy where you'll experience 10 frames per second) and get ready for the thrilling ride that is Wizard Woes.

Love the visual style. Questioning if some of these jumps are ACTUALLY possible though. Little confused why attacks only work against enemies who are looking at you? Gonna keep giving this tries though because it's pretty fun.

Thank you! Pixel perfect is technically possible ;) . The hitbox on the attack is a little jank if they are walking away from you, I'd maybe try being a little closer (or Wizard's fireball attack)

This is really cool, I need to find some time to play it more! Nice work!

Thank you! When you do, please let us know what you think!
