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 brimming with inventive gameplay mechanics. Prepare for a thrilling journey through forests, dodging arrows and navigating treacherous lava flows!
The Story: A Demon, an Archer, and a Never-Ending Run
An ancient demon unleashes chaos upon the world, prompting the forest spirits to awaken a long-forgotten archer. Armed with a bow and arrow, he embarks on a perilous quest to vanquish the demonic threat. But this isn't your typical straightforward adventure.
Gameplay: Precision and Timing are Key
Prepare for constant motion! A Kindling Forest features a perpetually scrolling screen filled with sharp, unpredictable obstacles. Your strategy? Evade them or skillfully shoot them down with your arrows. These arrows are more than just weapons; they're a lifeline provided by the forest spirits. Run out of arrows, and the game is over, making every shot crucial.
Five Levels of Increasing Intensity
The game unfolds across five increasingly challenging levels. Expect to leap over giant spiders, teleport through mysterious ruins, soar through the clouds, and even brave perilous lava fields. Strategically placed checkpoints offer a safety net, allowing you to restart and refine your approach after a mishap.
Dual-Screen Controls and Slow-Motion Aiming
A Kindling Forest employs a unique dual-screen control system. One half of your screen handles jumping, the other, shooting. Mastering the timing between these actions is essential for success. The game even incorporates slow-motion during aiming, providing a crucial window for precise shots.
