Mages prefer to drink their "potions" and read books late into the night, but unfortunately something terrible looms over their splendid world full of beautiful decadence. Danger! Hordes of darkness have marched toward the magical tower, and only the students of the academy of magic (also graduates (sometimes teachers)) will be able to RUN OUT to meet the danger and RUN to the very horizon, crossing deserts and mountains to meet the one who disturbed their peace!

Auto-runner

Overcome obstacles, dodge attacks, collect loot from foes.   

Shoot'em up

They shoot at you and you shoot back - a bit of "bullet hell" never hurt anyone when it comes to stretching those old magical bones.                                                

Meta-progression

After casting spells on enemies, they sometimes leave coins behind - it's unknown whether they transform into them or carried them - but you can spend them to unlock new abilities and new mages.

They're approaching!
