Forrest in the Forest is an upcoming indie platformer for Android, putting you in the leafy shoes of the forest itself as you battle enemies. Get ready for hack-and-slash action and acrobatic leaps to victory!
One of the joys of our coverage is highlighting lesser-known developers. Forrest in the Forest, from a small indie team, pleasantly surprised us. This charming throwback platformer is deceptively simple yet well-crafted.
You play as an unnamed character (though "Forrest" seems likely!) fighting monsters across 2D environments. Expect a delightful pixel art aesthetic, expansive explorable areas including a town and tavern, diverse enemies, and a satisfying array of abilities to master.
Shining a light on smaller releases is always rewarding. While Forrest in the Forest isn't reinventing the platformer genre, its competent and passionate development is commendable. It's a welcome addition to the mobile gaming landscape.
The developers anticipate a release within the next 1-2 weeks. Stay tuned! In the meantime, hone your platforming skills with our top 25 best Android and iOS platformers. Perhaps Forrest in the Forest will join that list soon!
