The Spirit of the Forest is dying, and so is the Forest itself…

You are a Guardian, the Forest’s last hope of survival, summoned to find a solution.
The life of the Forest is in your hands, reach the end before the Spirit’s energy runs out!

Refill the energy of the Forest by fighting enemies and collecting mana, then give it back through the Spirit’s roots.


This is a metroidvania-lite game in which you have to complete the levels before the timer runs out... Or, you can take your time, explore the maps and find out more about the story: there are checkpoints and respawns are unlimited!

Controls:

- Use directional arrows or “WASD” to move
- Press “Escape” to pause
- Press “Space” to jump
- Press “Z” to attack
- Press "Up" to interact with objects

About Ludum Dare 46

We participated in the LDJam LD46 event, it is a 72hours team-based gamedev competition. Everything you experience in-game (from the coding to level design, art, character design, sound effects, music, etc.) was done from scratch for this project in just 72 hours. No pre-made assets were used. 

Which version to play?

The latest version (1.1 as of now) contains the most up-to-date patches and bugfixes. It will be the most stable and less likely to crash/softlock/frustrate you to play. You can see a list of notable bugfixes in our changelog.

Otherwise, if you want the original, unaltered experience straight out of the 72hours sleep-deprived marathon with most bugs and glitchy code, download the LD46 version.
