HEXED HUNK

by Conrad Milliken, Kay Flores, Zhang Shan, Alex Kuo. Zoe Dever,  Olivia Wang, Mandy Berkheimer, Lisa Wang, Kenny Umemoto (Kohni)

Run through the Cursed Forest as a fitness-obsessed wizard. Your mana regenerates as you flee from enemies (low-level), while dodging arrows fired by monsters behind you. Once you've maxed out your mana from exercise (high-level), slam SPACE to turn around and charge at your enemies with explosive force - crushing them in a physics-driven frenzy. The Hunter's prey shifts in position, and now it's your turn to have fun. By holding down the Shift key while your muscle power is high, you can intercept enemies with a ferocious uppercut , further fueling your mana with a blaze of ego. "High-level" refers to the powerful moment when mana is full, allowing the wizard to charge forward and destroy enemies, while "low-level" refers to the desperate escape as mana regenerates, dodging attacks to survive. Become the wall of muscle you always wanted to be, and smash through oncoming enemies... or let the weak perish! It's survival of the fittest - and you are by far the fittest to survive!
