Didn't understand if I got the control right, but it seem to be really slow to change direction. Also, look like the collision (-HP) take effect multiple time at once.

The controls aren't even nearly responsive enough for you to be able to avoid obstacles and enemy bullets, which kinda ruins it. Also, I don't really like the idea of losing HP over time.

I liked the unusual controls/movement, especially the fact that one can bounce against the walls. Though, as the other commenters have said, a little stronger influence of the mouse position would have been great. I also find the connection to the theme rather weak. But other than that, good work!

Floaty controls make it oddly difficult.

I've got to admit the game is very hard to control and is very punitive... Touch two walls = you're dead. I did'nt have much pleasure to play it... Sorry about that.

Interesting idea that could benefit from more forgiving mechanics. Some possible suggestions: call out health more clearly, remove loss of health from moving around, make it easier to find a weapon (I couldn't find it anywhere in the 2nd level so I had no way to recover health). Also, the tutorial screens are jarring and I died several times immediately after the one that introduced me to the purple enemies because I was disoriented when going back to the game. Thank you for sharing!

Like the fairy animation, almost like the click movement. Didn't like the speed, bit fast for me personally, not much time for thinking when flying towards lightning rune.

I dont like the controls so strange :/

I like the idea but it's a bit hard to control. I love the character's effect, it looks nice.

The game looks pretty slick, but I agree with the other comments. The controls make the game unnecessarily difficult.

Controls were quite hard but this game is actually very unique. Despite the controls, it's a nice game.

Agreed, it's really unforgiving and hard to control....

Man, I though my game was hard! :) I actually like the base idea, i just couldn't get the hang of it, sorry.

I don't like the controls and it's very hard.
