Azulina's Night of Sprites and Fright by ryusui
A child's bedroom stocked with toys - where better for a flock of wayward magical sprites to gather whimsy to feed off of? Unfortunately for these sprites, they've chosen a bedroom haunted by lurking horrors that come out in the dead of night, and it's only a matter of time before they end up devoured!
The fairy Azulina has managed to track them down, and she aims to rescue them before such a horrible thing happens. However, the sprites are clever, and have found various places to hide from the monsters - and her! She'll have her work cut out for her finding them all and making her escape...especially since the monsters are just as eager to take a bite out of her as well!
Find the sprites, use your magic to stay hidden, and fly as high as you dare to explore the shadowy corners of the bedroom. Watch out for tiny predators lurking on the ground, and the flocks of winged things that claim the ceiling as their domain - a magical being like Azulina is practically immortal, but the injuries they can inflict on her will complicate matters nonetheless! And above all, beware the towering creature that patrols the bedroom - if it spots you, your only option is to run and hide!

UPDATED 10/12/2024: Version 1.1 is now available with a number of tweaks!
The "under the bed" space now has a new visual effect and fixed collisions (plus an additional knockback effect to suggest you are not supposed to go down there!)
The sprites' random spawn locations have been adjusted so that a single one will spawn in each vicinity (e.g. you will no longer find two near the entrance, or at the pillow fort)
Flight is now accelerated when flying straight upward (watch out for low-flying murder birds!)
Flight and invisibility now recharge faster (but have a higher minimum energy requirement)
The "shrug" animation when you try to cast a spell but can't now always faces the camera.
The game can be paused with ESC on keyboard and Start (Nintendo Start/Playstation Options/Xbox Menu) on gamepad.
UPDATED 10/13/2024: Version 1.1a fixes a bug with the altered sprite randomization (sprites were spawning in the same five locations each run).
Please rate based on the original 1.0 release. Enjoy!

I was still able to move and fly like that, but got stuck under the bed so restarted the game. It was interesting
Nice atmosphere and neat concepts of having to juggle a couple different powers!
The area under the bed is a known collision issue. It's been fixed and overhauled in 1.1.
The main issue I encountered while playing was that I seemed to get stuck inside the monster sometimes and the camera would go all crazy with it moving around... but other than that, solid little game :)
I've been eaten a couple of times :D
Well done !
Very fun, i liked the decision to make a horror game, and...blue fairy foxgirl
