A playable online 1v1 wizard sport about catching, throwing, and stealing an ember before sending it through the opponent’s goal.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

Embercast’s play loop centers on an ember that can be caught, thrown, frozen in midair, or used as a temporary platform for movement. The alpha provides tutorial and free-play modes, casting trials, a sparring bot, and online 1v1 duels, with controller support recommended on Windows and Mac. Release v0.2.1 adjusts the bot’s behavior, makes deflections free when energy runs out, and signs and notarizes Mac downloads. The creator’s stated ambition is to keep the rules stable while player techniques continue to develop.
