# Wizard Survivors
---
---
## Story
**Wizard Zurlee** has been trapped by a horde of _deadly vampire bats_! Use WASD to escape, hit enemies with your magical spinning bolts, and grow your power until you _become the bullet hell_!
## The game
**Wizard Survivors** is inspired by the infectious [Vampire Survivors](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/). The game source is 500 characters long, so it can be posted on a single post/Toot on [Mastodon](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastodon_(social_network)). To play the game just create an empty `.html` on your computer, paste this code, and open it up with a web browser.
```
```
I've used no packer, so the characters are all printable. You can print it on your T-Shirt and use it as an _emergency game_ if you feel the urge of slaying bats, level up, and become an unstoppable killing machine for a minute.
## Why?
At the very beginning of [The Game Awards 2022](https://youtu.be/vl9yakt_5tc?t=307) they announced a [free mobile version](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poncle.vampiresurvivors&hl=en&gl=US) of **Vampire Survivors**. I didn't know the game so I downloaded it to my phone and gave it a quick try. Then I missed the rest of the event.
_Pro-tip: never give free carefully crafted distractions at the start of a conference! ;)_
### Technical notes
The game should work without problems if run from a local file. You may need the `.htaccess` file if you want to host it on the web.
