Arcane Rebound: Wizard Quest | HTML5 Game

Arcane Rebound: Wizard Quest – A Bouncing-Orb Adventure with Bosses, Cards and a Real Ending

Aim, bounce and break the blocks: take the Star Crown back from the Hollow King across eight lands.

Welcome to Arcane Rebound, a complete game with a story, built with plain JavaScript. A young apprentice wizard sets out with a tiny spark-sprite called Pip to cross eight lands, beat the guardians of the Star Shards and bring the Star Crown home. On every stage the creatures march down a six-by-eight field and your orbs bounce between the walls and the creatures: a quick aim is all it takes, and the angles do the rest.

Between waves you spend potions on ability cards, from a fire orb and chain lightning to a phoenix feather and a meteor shower. One card in every offer is free. Coins buy permanent upgrades and new wizard skins, each with its own orb.

Game Features:

• Eight Lands, 48 Stages, from a whispering forest to the Hollow Citadel, each land with its own backdrop, arena, five creatures and a boss
• About Five Hours of Play, measured with an automatic player that plays the whole game; stage length and difficulty grow smoothly
• 30 Ability Cards in four rarities, special orbs (fire, frost, piercing, chain lightning, bomb, splitter), passive powers and a free card in every offer
• Six Creature Behaviours: plain, tank, runner, healer, shielded and bomber, plus elites and eight bosses that fill three cells
• Permanent Upgrades, six upgrades with their own price curves, and a wizard level with XP
• 8 Wizard Skins with matching orbs, bought with coins or gems
• A Story with a Real Ending, an illustrated intro, chats in every land, a finale and an end screen
