We're pleased to announce A Wizard's Lizard 2.1, containing new content and bug fixes. In addition, AWL is on SALE for under $10 this week only! Introducing Soul Powers We've expanded the utility of Soul Orbs by adding a handful of new Soul Powers to the game. These new powers will replace the default Soul Blast and can be found in chests and shops throughout the game. Each of the unlocked characters now starts with a unique Soul Power, too! The currently available Sou Powers are:

• Soul Blast: Blasts nearby enemies with trapped souls
• Soul Shield: Protect yourself from harm
• Soul Warp: Bend time to dodge enemies and projectiles
• Soul Rush: Rush forward dealing damage to anything in your path
• Soul Call: Call forth an ally to help you slay Death's minions

New Weapons, Totems, and Items There are a bunch of new weapons and items to find including (but not limited to!): Owl Slayer, Glaive, Hive Totem, Copycat Totem, and the Ring of Ultimate Protection. Not only that, but items you've seen in chests or shops will not show up again in the same run. How many ways can you defeat Death? Maybe you can easily take down Death using your favorite combination of weapons and armor. But, can you defeat him using the rest of the items available in the game? Each time you kill Death, you'll earn a golden pedestal for each item you're carrying in the museum. See how many different combos you can use to rescue the Wizard! Performance and Bug Fixes We're constantly trying to improve the performance and stability of the game. To that end, we've added options to disable the lighting and/or particle effects. Also, we've fixed a bunch of bugs including some which caused the game to crash outright. Full patch notes We hope you enjoy this new version of A Wizard's Lizard!

Conquer the forces of Death in A Wizard’s Lizard, an action RPG for Windows, Mac and Linux. Explore ever-changing dungeons, filled with valuable treasure and powerful items, while battling back the hordes of evil. Rescue townsfolk to improve your town and aid your next trek into the dungeon.

Fans of The Legend of Zelda, Gauntlet, and The Binding of Isaac will love the retro-inspired twin-stick action of A Wizard's Lizard.

When the wizard of Amberfall unlocks the magic of eternal life, Death comes to take him away. Now his faithful pet lizard must brave procedurally-generated dungeons to save him!

Master Life & Death: Death is only the beginning as you continue to unlock secrets in the realm of the dead. Find hidden items only accessible to those who have died and discover the power of resurrection. Tread carefully, the dead do not wish to be disturbed.

Rebuild the Town: Rescue townsfolk trapped throughout the dungeons for increasing reward. Discover lost blueprints which allow the town's blacksmith to craft new weapons and armor.

Restore the Museum: Search Death's domain for stolen artifacts and legendary weapons. Every item you find is returned to the museum for display. Can you recover all of the powerful weapons, legendary armor, and magical items?

Control your lizard using your favorite gamepad (including the Xbox 360 controller) for full 360 degree movement and attacking.
