The first “painting” ain’t bad at all. You get the Owl Transformation spell, that let’s you fly around. No more platforming. The boss, Frankestein Monster, is also okay.
The second painting is a rehash of Carnival theme, and it’s again pain to the eyes. At least as an owl you can fly past most of the traps. The boss, Medusa, looks amazing, but annoying as hell: deals tons of damage, and has an annoying hitbox. I managed to beat her without a guide in the end using the minotaur and that strikes overhead and a meteorite spell, but you need to be super precise to stand just below her head so the tails don’t touch you, as it’s almost a certain death, they multihit.
The other two bosses, Werewolf and Mummy (I’m telling you, they ran out of fresh ideas) are easy in comparison, as they can be team tagged from two sides.
With the owl dorm, the game also unexpectedly becomes kind of indirect control: most enemies can’t hit you, and attack your partner instead. But since damaging him consumes only mana, which regenerates, it’s a great bargain.

off: can you in advance write what advent calendar you choose this year.
it was fun series this year, I would like to participate
I will try! 😄
To be honest, though, I didn’t plan to buy an Advent Calendar at all, I don’t think they are value for money.
I only got one because it was January and there was a good discount 😅
