Had a chance to play Key Fairy today, which is available now on Ludolio! Owl Machine's ink-illustrated, pacifist bullet-hell about a tiny fairy untangling a cursed forest, one of the best-reviewed indies of the year, now available for classroom and library licensing.

We're stoked to have Key Fairy on Ludolio because its perfect for discussing how mechanics carry meaning; disentangling 'difficulty' from 'violence'; and as a prompt for discussing game art, visual tone and space. Great accessibility options too, including no spiders!

I do have to be honest, we planned to have spider-y things, we even have prototypes, but they actually never ended up making it into the game. The "spiders" button solves a problem that does not exist, and in many ways creates the impression of a more spidery world than truly exists...
