Cool game - inverted controls always mess me up. I like that even though you used the Godot icon you still went to the trouble of giving it a death animation.

THE FIVE CURSES

This was so simple and fun. I lost my mind trying to control with that movement curse. How did you implement the arrow following you around on a smooth curve?

Thanks! The basic code for those involve slowly rotating the projectile towards the player, while moving it forward. Then it's mostly tweaking the move and turn speeds until it looks right. Higher move speed and lower turn speed results in a wider turn.

Here's an example (without the spaghetti code):

var MOVE_SPEED = 200
var TURN_SPEED = 0.03
var player_angle = self.global_position.angle_to_point(player.global_position)
self.rotation = lerp_angle(self.rotation, player_angle, TURN_SPEED)
move_and_slide(Vector2.RIGHT.rotated(self.rotation) * MOVE_SPEED)

Fun little game! Took me a minute to realize what was happening after I got cursed and couldn't do what I was trying to, but that's just me being slow. :D Well done!
