About

Red Forest

Features
Read full description

A punk bunny in sunglasses takes his forest back. Red Forest is a hand-drawn 2.5D action platformer: cartoon characters in a 3D world built with Unreal Engine. Invaders have rolled into the radioactive Red Forest near Chornobyl with trucks, guns and stolen toilets. The bunny has had enough. RUN, JUMP AND DUCK Dash across the burnt-orange forest, leap over gaps and keep your paws out of glowing toxic pools. Bullets fly at head height, so hit down, sit low and let them whistle past your ears. KICK THEM OUT Fight up close and send the invaders home seeing stars. Bigger invaders bring bigger health bars in boss fights. CARRY IT. THROW IT. Grab whatever is lying around (crates, toilets, washing machines) and throw it at whoever deserves it. A FOREST WITH CHARACTER Explore autumn woods, broken roads and a radioactive sewer. Expect a lot of blood, dark humour and road signs that say exactly what they think. FEATURES - Hand-drawn 2D characters in a 3D world (2.5D side-scroller) - Simple touch controls: move, jump, duck, kick, carry and throw - Boss fights - Checkpoints, so one bad jump doesn't cost you the level - Plays offline, no internet needed - No ads and no in-app purchases - Ukrainian and English Made by a small indie studio from Ukraine. Contains cartoon violence and blood.
