A downloadable game for Windows

You are a wizarding pupil, opposed to your masters wasteful spell-hoarding tendencies. Prove to him, that the less you have the more powerful you can be and become an Empty Hand Mage! 


Featuring:

  • Two bosses (the darling Bandit Quing and the evilerest Wizard Master)!
  • Two biomes (normal and red forest - they are toootaly different, promise)!
  • Four normal enemies (if you consider trees with multiple eyes normal)!
  • (Barely) Over 20+ unique cards!
  • Rogue-lite progression (that's actually nice)!
  • Voice "acting" with a diverse cast (one person)!

How to play:

Click on the green markers on the map to move there following the paths. In combat you can either play a card from your hand or draw one from the deck. You become more powerful with fewer cards - less than 3 cards gives you a 2x multiplier and having only one card, boosts it to 10x! When looting, you can choose which card to draw to your hand - it also becomes unlocked for your futre runs. To pass through the gates at the end of a biome, you need to have less cards in your hand than the number in the gate (Biome 1 - 3 Cards, Biome 2 - 0 Cards). Good luck!

Also got stuck not knowing to click the green dot, but so glad i found out in time, because i loved this game. Really cool and so fun voice acting. "listen here you lil shit"

Thanks for playing!!! Did you manage to beat the wizard?? So far only 2 people I know have made it, so it is def possible!

I did, but I did not have 0 cards for the gate right after ;)

Nice! I think the "road" tiles should probably be thinner so it looks more like a dotted line/path between nodes. I was stuck for a bit trying to to click the road tile right infront of me :)
Cool art and mechnics! Good job!

Thanks for playing! Yeah, if we ever work on it again, we should really improve the readability of the map :)
