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

by Mila Mar 17,2025

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 gravity-defying leaps!

We love highlighting lesser-known developers, and Forrest in the Forest is a perfect example. This small indie team contacted us to showcase their game, and we were immediately impressed.

Forrest in the Forest offers a charming, classic platforming experience. You play as an unnamed character (though "Forrest" seems likely!) battling monsters across vibrant 2D environments. Expect charming pixel art, explorable areas like a town and tavern, diverse enemies, and a satisfying array of abilities.

It's rewarding to spotlight smaller releases. 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 estimate a release within the next 1-2 weeks. Stay tuned for updates!
