Embark on a magical journey to save the forest from an ancient evil in this challenging auto-runner adventure. An ancient demon has risen and his vicious powers plagues the world. Forest spirits have awoken an archer from the past to save the day! The demon is always one step ahead and leaves a never ending trail of rock hard shards. You'll never know which shapes or forms you’ll meet next! Destroy or avoid them and you will hunt him down. In “A Kindling Forest” you play as our hero aided by forest spirits. Aim and shoot your way through five levels in this cute, average auto-runner. Beware! The arrows you collect along the way ARE the forest spirits. Use them wisely, they are your life count as well. Run out of arrows and you will perish. Use checkpoints to start over if you’ve learned a more efficient way to get through the various obstacles to pass. How to play: Your phone is divided into two areas. Jump and shoot by touching the screen. Get past the shards by aiming for their weak points in this fast-paced adventure! Grow new paths, teleport to new places, fly over clouds, jump over spiders, go through ruins, lava and so much more!
