Fairy Defense was a game developed in Alice for a course in
virtual worlds taken while attending Southern
New Hampshire University. The premise of the game is that you are a wizard
who was brought into a fairy realm via a ring of mushrooms. The fairies need
your tactical expertise to guide them into destroying a never-ending horde
of evil toadstools, ogres, and dragons.
Each of the three fairies have a different amount of time to regenerate
their powers once used. Each enemy has a chance to drop a power-up that can
be collected to regain health and increase the score. Are you up to the challenge?
