You're a wizard, lizard (canceled, full project for download)

You're a wizard, lizard (Yawl) is a roguelike slot machine with city building mechanics. Every new game will be different and you can try to beat your highscore! Reach the highest stage possible with your build and your city.

Current state: DEMO RELEASE / CANCELED

We have released the first demo version of our game that you can enjoy. Build your slot machine, create your city (currently they are basically just for defense purpose) and listen to the great medieval sound track Gaugalon composed for you.

The following features are already in the game:

• 120 Symbols & Basic Stats (Attack, Defense & Tax) as well as special stats (except for the potions and tax-symbols)
• You can build combos with your symbols to get more attack, defense and tax
• All symbols have beautiful pixel art
• Randomly generated Symbols to choose from every round
• 1 awesome medieval music loop
• You can buy more scrolls
• You can upgrade your scroll symbol capacity
• You can add up to 3 symbols into each slot (or 5 with upgrades)
• Cast failure system: The more scrolls you own, the higher chance of failure each scroll will have.
• 2 Monster Types (1 Goblin, 3 different colored Slimes) also with basic informations on how much damage they do and how much hitpoints they have (left)
• Monster will grow stronger but will fall off in later stages within the demo.
• Stage counter (A basic one for the demo)
• Earn tax by defeating monsters (or through tax-symbols)
• Basic log-system that shows you the last 3 rounds played
• Global stats in the pick symbol screen informations tab

Problems, Informations & How to Play

• Right click on any visible scroll to open it's inventory and left click on any inventory item to see its informations.
• After defeating a monster you will have a 'grace round' which spawns in a new monster that will not attack but also take no damage.
• When choosing symbols some and/or all scrolls may be blue. Thats the indicator that you can put the symbol you're holding in there (just click on a blue scroll). You can abort by pressing ESC
• When scrolls turn green you are in 'scroll upgrade'-mode in which you can raise the scroll symbol capacity by 1 (to a maximum of 5)
• Choose symbols will not pop up when you have no place left to place symbols (no scrolls turn blue)
• PRESS HELP BUTTON TO GET A HELP-OVERLAY EXPLAINING THE GAME
  

The demo version contains everything on a basic function level while the early access version will provide over time more (refined) features, more music and newly done pixel art for all the symbols.

The game will be currently only available for windows system but I promise that, at least, we will look into porting the game for linux and mac as well. Depending on how difficult it will be, we will port after a final release.

After some intern discussions we will post our roadmap in discord and here. Make sure you'll join the discord for a steady stream of updates, to give feedback and to create a great community.
