Gameplay[]
Wizard's Run features nine levels, each one unlocked by beating the level before it. In each level, you play as a wizard who has to use magic to fight through waves of enemies to avoid being killed by them. The wizard is always moving forward, and can be controlled with the arrow keys to dodge enemies and their attacks. He can also fight the enemies using spells, of which there are three types: Fire Spells, which are purely offensive spells; Ice Spells, which are used mainly to slow down/immobilize enemies; and Divine Spells, which involve light attacks and healing abilities.
The wizard can have three spells equipped at any time (it doesn't matter which kind they are). The wizard begins the game with one of each type of spell at his disposal, but can acquire more by getting enough XP from defeated enemies to level up the wizard. By doing this, you earn upgrade points which can be spent on buying upgrades and new spells from the three skill trees that represent the three types of spells. Note that Wizard's Run has a level cap at 15, which doesn't allow you to unlock every single upgrade offered in the game since you only earn 2 upgrade points every time you level up, and each skill tree requires 20 upgrade points to be fully maxed out.
Wizard Titles[]
As you continue to upgrade the wizard, he'll earn new titles depending on how far he's advanced in the skill trees. He starts out as an Apprentice, but receives a new title once you spend six upgrade points in any one of the skill trees, and then receives another new one once you spend twelve skill points in the same skill tree. 6-point titles are interchangeable and will change depending on which skill tree has the most points. This is not the case with 12-point titles, though; the first 12-point title you attain will stick with you for the rest of the game.
