Get your queen some flowers on her birthday before sunrise. Stay clear of the villagers, they don't agree with the whole idea.

Use W,A,S,D and Space to move around, use mouse gestures to experiment with spells/actions.

Get to the queen before the villagers stop you!

EDIT : Changed Windows download to an alternate link to Dropbox, for those who are having issues viewing it online.

I can't seem to get teleport working reliably, and sometimes the canvas doesn't accept my mouse input (maybe if something else on the page is selected... not sure yet) but definitely one to go back and mess around with to find more spells.

..cause without more spells, that queen is NOT getting her flower X)

I had a bit of trouble with the gestures, but I love the idea.

Why are those villagers so down on me givin' the queen some flowers? Killjoys.

Cool idea! It was pretty hard to get the attack gestures right for me. Great job

Interesting concept, but it was hard for me to get the gestures right. ):

Gestures cheat sheet if you must:-

Short Horizontal Swipes : Hit
Upward Swipe : Turn trees/bushes into mana/speed fruits
Downward Swipe : Turn plants into health fruits
Diagonal Long Upwards : TP
Diagonal Long Downwards : Fimiliar using plants
Circle Large : Hex
8 Symbol (start and end at the center) : +Time
Horizontal Swipe Long (while moving) : Heal

Exaggerate the gestures if they're not responding. Will fix it in the next build. Thanks for the feedback!

I like games with mouse gestures, it is also nicely drawn. The sound effects could be better, though.

Hi! I wanted to play the web version. But I think the link is dead, can you check it?

Had to take a look at the gestures sheet cause i was pretty lost! Great concept, and love the gameplay, needs a little bit of polish. Cheers! :)

Oh man, my server guy promised me no downtime. I'm extremely sorry for the inconvenience but you might have to do with the link to Dropbox for now. Thanks again for trying it out!

I made it to the queen! Fairly short, but unique. The mouse gestures are neat, but there are a few that I did that I am not sure how I did.

It's great that it rewards players who experiment with the gestures and allows for different strategies. I couldn't attack reliably, but I discovered I could just turn everyone into trees and then turn those trees into more mana. :)

The mouse gestures are really cool, but could use slightly better implementation. Once you lose once or twice the prospect of playing again doesn't feel that interesting or compelling.

I don't get what the point of NOT teaching the player the gestures. It may make sense to hide certain interactions, but leaving me totally in the dark wasn't particularly compelling.

Nice gesture mechanism.

Wow, spoiling me with the comments changed completely my concept of the game. I think it's a very good idea to use the gestures! Unfortunately it is too complicated to perform them...
