Fairy Survivors! ๐ŸงšEnchanted Garden

You're a tiny fairy in a big garden full of bugs! Survive as long as you can, your magic attacks automatically and gets stronger the longer you last. How long can you hold on? ๐ŸŒฟ

Fairy Dust

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

โœจ Start with this
๐ŸŒธ

Petal Shield

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

โฑ๏ธ Unlock: 1 min
โšก

Lightning Leaf

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

โฑ๏ธ Unlock: 2 min
๐Ÿ„

Mushroom Bomb

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

โฑ๏ธ Unlock: 3 min
๐Ÿ’ก
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!

๐ŸŽฏ 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.

๐Ÿ‘ถ 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!

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘ง 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.

๐Ÿ“ 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
