The Shiny Knights have fooled everyone, but not your Coven, and you've thwarted their nefarious plans previously. 

In retribution, they have successfully kidnapped your mother, Hilda. You've learned of a secret entrance to their castle, through some old caves. You'll get Hilda back, with the help of your enemies corpses...

In this 2D Platformer, you play as a witch saving her mother from the evil knights. You use your magic to fight the knights guarding the castle and its secret entrance, and then animate their skeletons to do your bidding.

A/D - Move left or right

Left Mouse Click - Fire current Spell in the direction of the mouse pointer

Right Mouse - Resurrect a skeleton from the corpse of a knight

Scroll Wheel (or R/F keys) - Change attack spell - Green Fireball, or Throwing a bone to switch a skeleton's walking direction.

Brilliant, really fun to play, I love the theme. Why not try adding a timer on the skeletons to respawn a new one, as on my initial try I made the skeleton go the wrong way and i could not get up the last climb.

very nice concept. I also like the ingame tutorial that you made. Very good sounds too. Its fun to play your submission!

Thanks!

This is looking really good, has some fun mechanics and great mood.

Thanks!
