A Kindling Forest: A Solo Developer's Side-Scrolling Auto-Runner
Dennis Berndtsson, a high school teacher moonlighting as a solo game developer, presents his latest creation: A Kindling Forest. This isn't your average action-adventure; it's a fast-paced, side-scrolling auto-runner brimming with innovative gameplay mechanics. Prepare for a thrilling journey filled with forests, arrows, and plenty of fiery lava!
The Quest to Defeat an Ancient Demon
The game's narrative centers around an ancient demon wreaking havoc upon the world. Forest spirits, in a desperate bid for salvation, awaken a skilled archer from the past, entrusting him with a bow and a perilous mission: to vanquish the demon. But this quest is far from straightforward.
A Constant Race Against Time
Players are thrust into a relentless, automatically scrolling environment filled with hazardous obstacles—sharp shards of varying shapes and patterns. Strategic choices are paramount: skillfully evade these dangers or precisely target them with arrows.
Arrows: Your Only Weapon, Your Only Hope
Arrows are more than just projectiles; they're the embodiment of the forest spirits' aid. Running out of arrows spells certain defeat, emphasizing the importance of every shot.
Five Levels of Increasing Intensity
A Kindling Forest unfolds across five increasingly challenging levels. Players will navigate treacherous landscapes, leaping over spiders, teleporting through mysterious ruins, soaring above clouds, and even braving perilous lava flows. Strategically placed checkpoints offer reprieves, allowing players to regroup and refine their tactics after setbacks.
Mastering the Dual-Screen Gameplay
The game's unique design splits the screen in two: one half dedicated to jumping, the other to shooting. Precise timing is critical, and a helpful slow-motion effect assists in aiming shots.
