Dragon Toss
Grab a wriggling pile of goons, then fling the whole stack at the boss before they break free.
Enemies cluster around you; tap-and-hold to scoop them into a swinging pile on your tail, then release to launch the whole bundle in a chosen arc for maximum collision damage.
Hold to scoop nearby enemies, drag to aim launch arc, release to fling.
Half-dragon 'grab everything and yeet it' fantasy — pixel-art crowds, lobbed minion chaos, surf-rock vibes.

Hold-to-scoop / drag-to-aim / release-to-fling is a three-input control set — well within hypercasual norms and trivially prototyped with physics assets.
