Potterlike
Draft a wizard and climb the day's Tower as high as you can, with one attempt a day.
Every day: The Tower: one seeded climb per UTC day (Daily #1 was 1 July 2026) with the same draft choices and enemy lineup for everyone, one attempt a day, ranked on a global leaderboard by how high you climb. New puzzle: Midnight UTC.
Potterlike is a fan-made roguelike set at Hogwarts, the school from the Harry Potter books. Its daily mode, The Tower, gives every player the same seeded floors each day: you draft a wizard with spells, potions and relics, then fight up floor by floor in one attempt, and compare how high you got on a global leaderboard.
About Potterlike
Potterlike is a browser roguelike by solodev00, a fan project based on the Harry Potter stories and not affiliated with Warner Bros. or J.K. Rowling. It is drawn in a Game Boy Advance style pixel look, with small sprites of familiar characters and turn-based duels where you choose a spell each turn, such as Expelliarmus to disarm or Episkey to heal.
The daily challenge is The Tower. Each UTC day has one seeded tower, numbered from Daily #1 on 1 July 2026, and everyone gets the same draft pools and the same enemy lineup, so scores are directly comparable. You draft a wizard and pick spells, potions and relics from the day's choices, then climb floor by floor, fighting one opponent per floor with a boss every fifth floor. The Tower has no top: enemies grow a little faster than you do, so every climb ends eventually, and the question is how high you get.
You have one attempt a day. When it ends, your result goes on a global leaderboard, the game keeps a daily streak, and a countdown shows the time to the next tower. Besides the daily there is a Story Mode that takes you through five school years along a branching map of duels, shops, potions and treasure, plus a Collection of what you have unlocked.
It plays in a phone or desktop browser at potterlike.xyz and on itch.io. It suits players who like short roguelike runs with a shared daily seed and do not mind the fan-game setting.

Tips
- You only get one attempt a day, so take time over the draft before the first fight.
- Pick at least one healing spell or potion; long climbs are lost to slow damage as much as to bosses.
- Plan for the boss floors every five floors and save strong potions for them.
- Story Mode is a good place to learn how the spells and items work before a Tower run.
