A Kindling Forest: A Solo Developer's Clever Auto-Runner
Dennis Berndtsson, a high school teacher and 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 innovative mechanics. Expect forests, arrows, and a generous helping of lava!
The Story: A Demon and an Archer
An ancient demon unleashes chaos upon the world, prompting forest spirits to awaken a long-dormant archer. Armed with a bow, he's tasked with vanquishing the demon. However, A Kindling Forest isn't about straightforward paths.
Gameplay: Constant Motion and Precise Aim
Prepare for relentless movement! The screen continuously scrolls, presenting a barrage of sharp, unpredictable obstacles. Your options are clear: evade or eliminate them with your arrows.
Arrows are your key to survival; they represent the forest spirits' aid. Running out means game over, making each shot crucial.
Five Levels of Increasing Difficulty
A Kindling Forest features five levels, each more challenging than the last. Navigate spider-infested areas, teleport through mysterious ruins, soar above clouds, and brave fiery lava flows.
Checkpoints offer strategic restarts, allowing you to refine your approach after mistakes.
Dual-Screen Controls: Timing is Key
The game cleverly utilizes a split-screen design. One half controls jumping, the other aiming. Precise timing is paramount, aided by a slow-motion effect during aiming for optimal shot placement.
