Plight of the Wizard
A downloadable game

Happy Friday! Let's celebrate the weekend with a major update. This build has tons of features, so get ready for a more fun game.

First, we have a new enemy with spiders. Kill a spider, and 3 smaller ones pop out. They move in a fun zigzag manner. I'm hoping to animate their legs eventually.

Next up, bats have an updated movement pattern. Now they swoop around the player in a circular manner. I think it really brings out the full potential of using the crank to quickly rotate around.

Finally, I've added a few smaller updates. The health circle is gone in favor of a health bar up top. I think this helps clarify the difference between the shield pickup while also making health loss and the player hitbox more intuitive. The lightning spell also received a buff and is more useful now. It's great against spiders.

I think this build is the most fun version yet. I hope y'all agree. Enjoy!
