So this is a game, where you're a wise wizard {{some cool name for a hero}}. Yup.
Your goal is to defeat... evil monster called {{some scary/evil name for a boss}}
As your weapon you use the Staff of Life, that creates life, from any other alive,or not-so-alive life form.. what? I mean. Beware of enemies that want you stop you from your goal. Now go and become a wizard for about 5 minutes and be slayed by nasty monsters or be victorious and the greatest virtual wizard of all time.

Controls:
~ WASD - you know.. walk.. just go for a walk already!
~ LMB - you can shoot. wow.
~ SPACE - and yeah, you can jump, but its completely useless, so..
-------------------
So this game at the start I had very good time with. First I thought it was a good idea, and it still is. But what bothers me though, that I need to learn myself to correctly manage time and stuff. At first day of event, I don know why, but I went straight into AI coding. Yeah it is all good and such but, I lost nearly 8 hours on AI alone (well before I didn't implement any A* pathfinding at all, before it was Unity pathfinding or simply go-straight-ahead-screw-the-walls logic). So I could make It a bit easier and win some time for myself. But still, I like how it turned out, although a bit buggy.
After the AI thingy I was drawing some concepts and stuff.. characters (there was supposed to be more than one character),so yeah.. On the second day, I did a great job(I think) with enemy spawning and wave system, well and ofc it took me a while to do. And still happy how it works, pretty flexible system.
So initially I wanted to enter a compo, buuut I didn't because there was no Boss, no.. other stuff-too-much-to-count. So I decided to enter a Jam. At the third day I actually had to go to the university, and half of a day was, well.. whatever. So after that, back at home, tired as hell, I had to finish my game, ofc. Aaand I drew that boss in 1 or 2 hours, then its time to programm it, make animations. So I did that. And I'm done. I'm so done. Need. More. Sleep. But anyway I had a lot of fun doing it, and actualy game itself turned out pretty good. So check it out boyz 'n' girlz ;)
