The Spirit of the Forest is dying, and so is the Forest itself…
You are a Guardian, the Forest’s last hope of survival, summoned to find a solution.
The life of the Forest is in your hands, reach the end before the Spirit’s energy runs out!
Refill the energy of the Forest by fighting enemies and collecting mana, then give it back through the Spirit’s roots.
This is a platformer-style game in which you have to complete the levels before the timer runs out... Or, you can take your time, explore the maps and find out more about the story: there are checkpoints and respawns are unlimited!
Everything you experience in-game (from the coding to level design, art, character design, sound effects, music, etc.) was done from scratch for this project. No pre-made assets were used, we took the challenge seriously (and possibly got burnt-out because of it)!
- Use directional arrows or “WASD” to move
- Press “Escape” to pause
- Press “Space” to jump
- Press “Z” to attack
- Press "Up" to interact with objects
Thanks for playing our game! If you find any bugs, let us know in the comments or directly on our github issue tracker.
This game is naturally full of bugs. You kill them with the Z button. :)
The Linux and OSX versions of the game have not been fully tested by *us* directly, just be aware of that in case you have trouble running them (hopefully not!).
Our original release had a series of bugs/glitches that sometimes *made the game unfinishable* and were overall frustrating to deal with. We have updated it to the *1.1* version with most of these bugs being squashed and killed (just like our main character does in the game!)
You can have a look at the changelog to get an idea of what we have changed.
For the sake of the competition, we're leaving on our itch.io page the original files as well as the new updated files. Please keep this in mind when judging our game, but also please have fun and enjoy our latest and freshest version as much as you can.
💚 Thank you for being awesome!
