Releasing v1.0!

I'm gonna be honest, the last two months, especially the last couple of weeks, have been hectic. But it's all been worth it. We present to you the biggest and best update we've ever done! In fact, we've changed so much about the game, that it felt it deserves a new name as well. What once was "The Wizard: WizHader Edition" is now "Kevin's Path to Wizdom"! And that is not all! There is still a long list of improvements and even one or two new features, that we plan to deliver in upcoming patches. So keep your eyes peeled!

Here is a quick overview over the biggest changes in v1.0:

Spells now cost mana to cast
Spell pages improve spell of your choice
Chest+Key improves health or mana
New belt to carry potions & keys
Two additional spells (one hidden)
Two additional levels
Several new music tracks
Remastered all music tracks
Improved story
A lot more secrets!
Enemies are a little smarter
Prettier menus
Prettier spellcasting
Prettier and improved levels
and more!

We've been in Early Access for two years. Thanks to everyone who helped us in that time we were able to try various things and get valuable feedback. However much of that time was also spent doing contract work to keep on the lights here in the Hypnotic Owl headquarter. In that time we've noticed a understandable loss of motivation to try and retry the game. So instead of boring everyone with tedious little changes, we took a coupe of months to work on this update in secret to surprise everyone. Surprise! Of course we did lots of internal playtests to make sure everything works, but nobody is perfect and I expect that some new bugs will emerge. Rest assured that we will try and squish them as soon as possible. For that reason we also added a new "Report Bug" button in the in-game menu. Please use it, if you find anything! Thanks for reading and as always, if you want to be more involved with the development, or just to hang out, come have a chat with us on our Discord server! <3 Your Hypnotic Owl Team

The Wizard is back, and it's better than ever! Enjoy this new and improved edition of the beloved turn-based dungeon puzzler, with its unique spell casting system, expanded levels and story, and the features people have long been asking for!

Step into the robe Kevin, the exceptionally handsome but woefully inattentive wizardry student, whose gorgeous face has just been stolen. Follow the thief through the dangerous dungeons beneath the academy, encounter mythical monsters, and learn powerful magic along the way! You'll find many an opportunity to hone and upgrade your abilities to your individual play style, but be wary! Without a well-considered plan of action, this goofy little apprentice won't make it very far...

With a heavy emphasis on strategy, The Wizard challenges its players to plan their moves carefully, upgrade their spells strategically, and use the environment to their advantage to make it through its mazes unscathed. Can you master the arcane arts and get back your valued visage?

Brain-teasing, turn-based dungeon crawl
