Fairy Dust

Fires a sparkle in the direction you're moving. Levels up to fire faster and in more directions!

🌱 Start with this
🌸

Petal Shield

Flower petals orbit around you and hurt any bug that touches them.

⏱ Unlock: 1 min

Lightning Leaf

Zaps the nearest bug with electricity every few seconds. Never misses!

⏱ Unlock: 2 min
🍄

Mushroom Bomb

Drops a bouncing mushroom that explodes in a circle and hurts all nearby bugs.

⏱ Unlock: 3 min
💡
Each spell unlocks automatically when enough time has passed — no buttons to press! The fairy just gets more powerful as you survive longer. Just like Vampire Survivors!

🎮 What We're Building

A Vampire Survivors-style game! You move the fairy, but all the attacking happens automatically. Survive waves of bugs that get bigger and faster over time.

🧒 For the Child

In this game you don't have to press any buttons to attack — your fairy does it all by herself! Your only job is to keep moving and not let the bugs touch you. Easy to learn, hard to master!

👨‍👩‍👧 For the Grown-Up

Key new concepts vs. the shooter workshop: no player input for attacking (all weapons use Timers), orbiting objects (rotating child nodes), homing behaviour (Lightning Leaf finds nearest enemy), and a survival timer driving difficulty scaling and weapon unlocks.

✨ What You'll Make

  • A fairy that moves with the keyboard
  • Bugs that swarm in from all directions
  • 4 auto-attacking spells that unlock over time
  • Difficulty that ramps up every 30 seconds
  • A survival timer and high score
