------[ WIZARD & WARRIOR ]------

A local-coop bullet-hell boss-rush game made for Pixel Day and Boss Rush Jam 2024.


The king's castle is under siege! He has enlisted his 2 strongest soldiers to defend the kingdom, The Wizard and The Warrior. Together these two will take down any foes that dare stand in their way.


The main focus of the game is on your teamwork and resource bar (stamina or mana). Your resource bar is drained by attacking, but is recharged passively over time.

But this is a coop game, if you want to make full use of your resources you will need to exchange them with the other player. Exchanging is much more efficient than simply letting your bar recharge on it's own. So if you notice that the other player is low on resource, give them some of yours, it will benefit you both in the long run.


Note that this game does NOT have online multiplayer! In order to play you will need to get someone to physically sit down next to you or download something like Parsec that lets you play local games online.

Although this game does have a solo mode, it is balanced towards a coop experience. Expect the game to be harder if playing on your own.


This game is still under development. I'll write a blog post when any updates come out, so be sure to follow :)

Not too shabby of a boss rush! All of the bosses felt pretty good to fight as they had a good assortment of patterns and also had a nice evolution in intensity when low on health. Graphics were cute and there were some nice funny touches like the freeze-frame followed by explosion upon death. Just a nice short and sweet adventure that I wish had even more to it, but for a game jam, it's understandable and even impressive.

I didn't get to experience it in its ideal coop form, but the game was still playable and fun in the solo mode, so thank you for including that option. I'm actually not sure if I'd like the coop mode anyway: I tried to play coop mode by myself and I saw that if just one player dies its an immediate game over, while feels unnecessarily harsh and could lead to toxicity.

OK, loads fine, starts with space bar, arrow keys movement. What do you fight with? Nothing works.

Did you look at the controls in-game? F/G or Numpad1/2 depending on your character.
