Welcome to Spellmotion, an immersive magic defense game where you become a powerful mage defending the sacred Nexus crystal using only your hand gestures! Through cutting-edge computer vision and AI, your real-world hand movements are transformed into powerful spells to fend off waves of invading goblins.
As a mage guardian, you must protect the mystical Nexus - a magical crystal that serves as the heart of your realm. Goblins are pouring through a dimensional portal, and only your mastery of gesture-based spellcasting can stop them. Survive 5 increasingly challenging waves using nothing but your hands and the power of magic!
Master these five powerful spells through intuitive hand gestures:
| Spell | Gesture | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Fireball | Open Palm | Launches a blazing projectile that deals AOE damage |
| Arcane Blast | Fist | Unleashes an AOE burst of magical energy |
| Ice Spikes | Pointer | Creates sharp ice projectiles that slow enemies |
| Lightning Bolt | V-Sign | Strikes with electricity |
| Heal | Rock-On Sign | Restores 50 hp to the nexus |
