Plight of the Wizard is a fast-paced, survival-horror game for the Playdate where the goal is to survive and kill as many enemies as possible before they inevitably kill you. You use the dpad to move, the crank to aim, and a foolishly determined mindset to keep your cool. You will lose. But how long can you survive?

Note: This game is still in active development and has plenty more features planned. All feedback is useful and encouraged! As long as you avoid complaining that the game is too hard ;)

I just bought a playdate and downloaded a lot of games to see what is out there and learn more about the community. Hands down this has been my favorite game so far!

Hey, super excited about this. But I just tried to sideload it and the website says it can't find the top level PDX.

Sorry about that! Can you try again now with the new file?

That worked! I'll check it out this afternoon!

Thanks James! I'm open to any feedback :)

I played a few rounds, you've got a good thing going here. High score so far is 68. Happy to test any and all builds going forward haha. I feel like most of what I have to say is pretty obvious stuff at this point, like weapon and movement bonuses for killing enemies, specific goals and achievements, characters with different skillsets, pretty classic stuff for this kind of game. It's already off to a pretty strong start though!
