What is Wizard Sport?
Wizard Sport is a third-person fictional sports game.
Set in a fantasy world where wizards handle their disputes through wizard sport, a game involving parkour, fireballs, spells, and portals.
The project was built around the theme "retro" for the IGDA Clark February Frenzy Game Jam.

Level Design
Due to the game's unique concept and game jam's limited time, less effort was spent on attempting to research similar environments and more was focused toward brainstorming mechanics and their implementations.
The main gameplay loop is based around grabbing the ball in the center and scoring in the opponent's goal.
Finding ways to rubber-band the gameplay was an initial hurdle.
However, placing parkour skill checks and timed platforms allowed for opponents to more easily contest ball control and avoid one-sided gameplay.
Typically I would spend more time than I did play testing and tweaking the level to ensure that all mechanics and aspects were working as intended. However, with the project being time sensitive, more attention was focused on making the level manageable for the team.
