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
