Update Log!

The next big update is here for The Trial of Wizard's Tower! The development for this update took a bit longer than expected. The puzzle needed a lot of animations to really make it shine, and promotional materials took FOREVER to finish making. Now that both of those are done, I'm excited to release one of my favorite game mechanics I've ever developed, the handshake puzzle

This was a mechanic I knew I wanted to add ever since the start of this project, as I would constantly bring it up to my friends. I really liked the idea of a "spell" that was actually just a stupidly complex handshake. And I really thought it would be fun for the puzzle to let players do the handshake in any order they please before doing it right. Suffice to say, I'm very pleased with the current result and it definitely pulls the game closer to original vision I had!


Besides that I've also made some minor changes here and there which I'll list below:

  • Reworked several levels to make the game flow better and to decrease empty space in each level
  • Added two brand new levels that specialize in the handshake puzzle (Levels 9 and 15)
  • Fixed some minor sound bugs related to fire sprites
  • Fixed minor collision issues

And finally, the newest update trailer! Give it a watch below


Thanks for reading and I'll see you at the next update!
