To Catch a Wizard

Unfortunately, you're the one who's been caught.

You are a seasoned veteran in the world of wizard magic; there's just one problem. Your arch-nemesis. He always has the upper hand, and you've fallen victim to his magic again.

He has devised his most cunning trap yet; a dungeon, cursed with a spell that only allows its inhabitants to live their lives 10 seconds at a time. To add salt to the wound, he's scattered all of your most prized possessions just out of reach.

*Will you escape, or are you doomed to spend the rest of your life trapped in this evil labyrinth?*

Controls

* WASD for movement
* R to trigger the rewind event early (unnecessary, unless you're speedrunning)

Notes

* this game is unfortunately bring-your-own-music; I ran out of time, and didn't want to ship it with the awful annoying track I had come up with :p

Changelog

These are minor changes I made during the jam. The originally uploaded files are still available if you'd like to play those instead.

* 10/3/2022 - Added z/x as alternate keys for dash (shift wasn't working for some people)
