Credits
I made all of the programming, art, and design, sound bites and music were taken from other sources but there is credit given inside the game.

External Credits
Fire Sound: Fire Sound Effect 01 from Sound Jay
Night Noises: Night crickets near the swamp from mixit
Adventuring theme: Following Stanley from The Stanley Parable
Talk Beep: 8bit vocal synth by TheOnlyPKMNmaster

How did you/your team interpret the theme?
I interpreted the theme as the elderly wizard doesn't realize he is terrorizing the town because of his poor eyesight, and then he tries to be helpful at the end despite being the cause of the damage.

How was your/your team's experience in this jam?
My experience with the jam was well and development was smooth for the most part.

Content Warnings
Cartoonish violence and arson.

Hahaha! This game had me cracking up. I loved it. The controls could be a little tighter when jumping. I'd love to see this built out into a full game. Nice work!

Cool game, really made laugh! It's a shame that it's so short also jumping works really weird because sometimes i jump really low idk why.

I liked the story/music in this but I think there could have been a few more game mechanics!

Very funny! Legitimately laughed out loud to this one. The soundtrack and sound usage match perfectly. The only thing I have to criticize is the lack of a visible text box, even if it was a mostly transparent one.  It helps to better separate the text from the background. Great job!

Hilarious and original! The soundtrack really set the mood. Short gameplay obviously, but well executed.

Looks good, but is quite simple. Bonus points for making me laugh tho.
