An Amazing Wizard News

Hello!
As the Prologue version is stable now and doesn't need many balance fixes, we decided to re-activate the demo with the Prologue content.

[h2]Didn't play the Prologue? Here is what is new from the last Demo:[/h2]

[h3]✨Spell Merge✨[/h3]
You can merge spells up to 5 times!
Each sacrifice spell activation triggers differ based on the main spell it merged into!
Spells can be cast simultaneously, one after another, or in groups!


[h3]✨Ancient Desert✨[/h3]
A map is new to the demo - meet new enemies like thunder spirits that duplicate near you and mummies that strike from afar with extending bandages.


[h3]✨Bestiary✨[/h3]
A redesigned UI makes tracking your hunts more intuitive than ever.

[h3]✨Taurus and Pyronis✨[/h3]
2 new bosses and a miniboss were not present in the previous demo.


🔥 If you enjoy the new demo, don’t forget to add the game to your wishlist!

Happy gaming, and we can’t wait to hear your feedback! 🎉

[h3]Special Note: Development Updates are after a week this time because I'm going on weekly vacation starting this Saturday - snowboarding in Italy. I'm the only dev besides our pixel artist so you can expect next Development Updates in 3 weeks time. Have a great time everyone![/h3]

In the last week we were mainly working on finishing the new boss, adding new meta progression (like Perk Rerolling or fast traveling inside Astral World), translating all reworked meta upgrades to polish and improving the tutorial.

[h2]✅ Added:[/h2]

• [Bosses] Added few more attacks to the new boss.
  
• [Meta Progression] Added 5 new meta progression upgrades.
  
• [Meta Progression] Translated all reworked meta progression upgrades to polish. There were 120+ reworked meta progression upgrades, but I wasn't translating them until nearly all of them were done.
  
• [Perks] Added Perk Rerolling with 1 reroll available at the beginning of each run.
  
• [Quests] Added Perk Rerolling as one of the possible quests rewards.

[h2]⚙️ Fixed:[/h2]

• [Revives] Fixed a bug where some revives were able to revive you once per level instead of only once for entire run.

[h2]🔄 Changed:[/h2]

• [Player] Player's dash now deals Normal Damage instead of Air Damage (after getting power allowing you to deal damage while dashing). This had to be done because Air Wizard's dashes were dealing too much damage otherwise.
