Is there an ending to the game? I managed to survive a few waves but the only thing I'm getting is a semitransparent box I can touch.

Hard to say, the art is not bad, but I cannot move when typing. It's not very friendly for people who type slowly like me.

kind of hard to tell what the different wizards do and when to use which one. I assume there is some countering and stuff going on but I can't tell. so i was just spamming random things. mostly air since it's the shortest word to type ^^
Also it's hard to remember all the names since they are not in the game.
interesting idea tho

Hard to time some words, maybe use some arrow keys combinations? And put those combinations on the screen) And yes, is there an ending?

This is a fun game, and a pretty interesting proof of concept. I think a bigger game with more scenarios to use specific types of wizards could a really cool way to expand on the idea. I like the pixel art a lot as well, the player's beard is appropriately majestic.

Most difficult for me was to remember the names of the wizards i need to type. Would be cool to have them somewhere in the UI. But worked pretty well once i got that, I like the concept :D Maybe next time we can throw a summonend wizard somewhere that in turn casts fireball upon impact :D

Fun idea and I absolutely love the title. It was hard to tell which wizards were mine and which were attacking me until my guys were dead and the ones attacking me could all get to me. Having the wizards spawn directly underneath me was a little weird too because I couldn't tell if my summon worked unless they immediately ran out to attack someone.

Is there an ending? I think I got through like 5 waves that all seemed similar.
