Wizard
A downloadable game for Windows
About
Wizard is the first game our group ever finished. It’s basically Pong with a wizard theme. In the original version, there’s a parry system, but you’ll probably never use it in the original. The gameplay can get repetitive, there’s no real ending, and yeah, it can be kind of boring. However, this was our very first attempt at creating a game together, and simply finishing it within the time limit was a huge achievement.
I’ve included two versions of the game here:
- 7 Days – the original version made during the initial time limit
- 2 Months – an updated version where we revisited the game with more time and experience
In the updated version, the parry system becomes your best friend, and a charged shot was added that can be used by holding Left Mouse. The update also includes multiple new levels, improved boss fights, and overall better gameplay. Seeing the difference between the two versions really shows how much we learned in a short period of time.
Lead Dev Note (Dylan)
I’m really proud of our team for pulling this off, especially since most of us had never made a game before. Even as the coder, I had to start fresh with Unity since I usually work in Unreal, as seen by my other projects on here. The game is rough, but it taught us a lot about what it takes to actually finish a project.
Special shoutout to the teammate who made all the enemies and characters. She even managed to get them done while on vacation. The game art doesn’t always line up perfectly with the character art, but her work gave the project personality and made it feel more alive.

Credits
- Coding – Dylan (CosmicBrainz07) — first time in Unity, usually lives in Unreal
- Level Design – Brady — somehow made Pong levels feel like actual levels
- Asset Design – Wyatt & Carlos — two brave souls who cranked out props and stuff that may or may not match
- Character Design – Brooke — made every character and enemy while literally on vacation
- Music – Mason — produced on a school field trip (yes, really)

Made with zero experience, a lot of chaos, and just enough stubbornness to finish
