Oliver & the Basilisks: A Clever Twist on the Robots/Daleks Formula
**Oliver & the Basilisks** is a sharp, clever puzzle game that takes the core mechanics of classic games like *Robots* or *Daleks* and layers on an engaging **magical resource management** system. The challenge is in your hands: you can't kill the Basilisks, you can only make them collide by carefully plotting your **8-directional movement** using the **numerical keypad**.

What truly elevates *Oliver & the Basilisks* is the added depth of the magic system. The game rewards **efficient performance in low levels** by granting **new spells and wand charges**. This encourages tactical play from the start, as stocking up your magical arsenal (**Amulet (A), Wand (S), Scroll (D)**) is essential for escaping impossible situations in later stages. The ability to **wait with '5' or meditate with '0'** provides crucial tactical pauses in the turn-based action. It's an addictive loop of movement, foresight, and hoping your stored-up magic will be enough for the next inevitable wave.
**Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐
