A Kindling Forest: A Solo Developer's Clever 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 side-scrolling auto-runner packed with innovative mechanics. Get ready for forests, arrows, and a whole lot of lava!
The Story: A Demon, an Archer, and a Constant Chase
An ancient demon is causing widespread destruction, prompting forest spirits to awaken a long-forgotten archer. Armed with a bow and arrow, he's tasked with defeating the demon. But this isn't a simple quest.
Gameplay: Timing, Precision, and Survival
Prepare for relentless action! A Kindling Forest features a constantly scrolling screen filled with sharp, unpredictable obstacles. Your survival hinges on your ability to skillfully dodge or shoot down these hazards using your arrows. These arrows aren't just weapons; they're the forest spirits' aid, and running out means game over. Every shot must count.
Five Levels of Increasing Chaos
The game unfolds across five increasingly challenging levels. Expect to navigate treacherous spider-infested areas, teleport through mysterious ruins, soar above clouds, and even brave fiery lava flows. Strategic use of scattered checkpoints allows for retries and adjustments to your tactics.
Dual-Screen Controls and Slow-Motion Aiming
A Kindling Forest employs a unique dual-screen control scheme: one half for jumping, the other for shooting. Precise timing is crucial. A helpful slow-motion effect during aiming provides the necessary window for lining up your shots.
