Big Hands Wizard is a SHMUP (Shoot 'em Up) game with randomness implemented where you play as a Wizard with very BIG HANDS and you are fighting against skulls and bones controlled by necromancers!

This is my first game ever, and I made this game for the first ever game jam I have joined, Beginner's Jam Winter 2025/6, I would be very happy if you leave feedback at comments ty <3.

Controls: Enter to pause the game, use arrow keys to move, press x or z to shoot

Game System: Whenever you run out of mana (you can see how much left by looking at the circles around your hands to see remaining mana) you get a randomly picked element, and there is not healthbar, you can see your remaining health by checking how close the big green ring is to the Wizard.

I love this. The gamefeel, the sound design, the art consistency, all of it. Well done!

Waaay better than my first game! I love the explosion effects.

I survived to wave nine but I could have probably gone further. Is there a health pickup?

Thank you for your feedback!


Yeah there is a health pick up that could drop from enemies by a 1 in 5 chance to drop from skull enemies, and it looks like a green plus sign. --->
