Nara and the Roots of the Forest: free pixel art platformer

Nara and the Roots of the Forest is an action-adventure platformer you can play in your browser, on your phone or on your computer, with no downloads. Join Nara across 30 levels spread over 6 islands: forests, caves, beaches, swamps, ice mines, volcanoes, sunken ruins and storms.

How to play

  • Jump (hold to jump higher), grab onto vines and wall jump between walls.
  • Your sword attacks and smashes crates; your shield flies like a boomerang and comes back on its own.
  • When you get hit, your shield breaks first, then you lose your sword, and then your hearts. Crates next to campfires give your gear back.
  • Campfires save your progress within the level.

Explore

  • Every level hides a secret route with a chest: dive, climb chimneys, ride lifts and swing on ropes.
  • Keys open doors; crates hold coins, swords, shields and keys.
  • Every 5 levels a boss awaits, each with its own trick to beat it.
  • Chain hits into combos and beat your best times and high scores.
