Forrest in the Forest is a fast-paced hack \'n slash platformer, coming soon

Author : Penelope Mar 16,2025

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!
