Game description
The Trial of Wasdo is a tile based puzzle game about using your movement to cast spells.
Guided by enigmatic wizard mentors, each with their own secrets, you’ll uncover the hidden truths of a magical world. Draw your destiny on the ground, conjure and destroy, and overcome challenges where every line you trace shapes your fate.
Are you ready to face Wasdo’s trial and claim your place among the worthy?
Theme interpretation
The theme "Secrets" and the "Cheat Mode" wildcard influenced me into going in a path where unlocks arent really "locked". If you know a spell, you can use it and finally reach places you couldnt reach before.
The movement based spells are also deeply influenced by the "Cheat Mode" wildcard as they resemble cheat codes.
I added a time spent display for those of you speed runners with additional categories : any % (all collectable looted) and no resets (use 0 reset during your game)
Wildcards used (optional)
Let players break the rules with things like infinite lives or invincibility
Make time the enemy

Lovely soundtrack and effects with a very challenging and innovative puzzle game. Excellent work all round!
Game feels really good. The art and the music harmonize well.
Very tightly designed game. Art and sounds work perfectly, puzzles are challenging and satisfying to solve. Great job.
I loved the ost, great work!!
Wow, that was quite polished, quite an innovative puzzle style! It was really challenging.
Only thing to comment would be that the theme interpretation is a bit weak, even if the game is amazing. The "secret" part is a bit loose while the optional wildcards seem to take the spotlight.
Still, great game, one of the best puzzle games we've seen amongst a couple of jams!
it’s a difficult game but satisfying once you clear out the problem at hand. the audio and movement feels good, albeit hard to master. the art direction is also impeccable. kudos!
I got stuck on the area right after being able to create plants and wasn't able to get any further but the sound design and art in this game are so likeable, was really fun to play and I'll probably come back later.
loved it, the art style is super cute and with the music together creates great vibe. I really enjoyed the puzzel element of the game, found the jumping mechanism a bit counter-intuitive first, but then i got into the flow of it. I defo will get back to this game later, and try to play it through.
