Story
The wild witch Morrigan caught sight of a falling star descending into the woods while studying the constellations.
Believing it could cause catastrophe, she set forth into the trees to seal away its power.
The guardians of the forest won't go easy on her, however. To defeat them, she must find patterns in the stars and use them to hex her enemies.

This short little mini-game is quite addicting. It kept me playing to fulfill my curiosity of the different enemy types and spells that are available. The gameplay is quick and repetitive allowing for a quick bounce-back after death. The movement is very responsive and feels quick and fast-paced. I think it's a very neat little experience and I will keep playing for a bit because I'm curious on certain things and want to experiment.
I.E - (What happens if I place lava tiles on all the enemy tiles? What happens if I convert them all to blue tiles? What happens if I hide behind rocks the entire game? Etc etc)
