Wandstep by celeron55
--- In short ---
Wandstep is a puzzle-ish game where you charge your weapon (a magic wand) by stepping back, left or right, in relation to where you stepped from into your current position.
Go play it and see if you can figure out the mechanics! Or maybe you should read first. It's not very intuitive, to be entirely honest with you. 8)
--- Exact game mechanics ---
* There are three attacks, each of which charge up individually based on the character's movement. The attack occurs from the player's previous position.
* The wand will blast fire instantly when it is charged up. The trigger charge depends on how many mushrooms there are on the level. You probably should first clear them out as quickly as possible.
* Stone is destroyed only by the attack that is charged by turning back, but this attack does not have a large area of effect like the others.
* The attacks charged by turning left or right are as wide as how much there is empty space next to the player.
* The goal is to remove all the fungus from the level with a minimal number of steps.
--- Implementation ---
This is a HTML5 game and was tested in Firefox and Chrome.
The online version stores anonymous high scores on the server so that you can try to beat levels scored by others.
