Forest Story
Once upon a time, within a deep-deep forest, there lived a little ball named Gumdrop. And it always had a big dream: it wished to see the sky, but never could - the forest was too deep, and Gumdrop was too small. But despite it's size, Gumdrop has confidence it'll make it to the top and fulfill it's ultimate dream!
Controls:
- Touch/Click and hold the screen to aim, and release to jump! The further the cursor is from the ball, the stronger the jump
- Click the button with eyes to look up or down (in case you want to backtrack or jump down)
The game is hard, but it is possible to complete. (Sadly, I didn't playtest it... yet)
Also, to take up a bit more description space, here are a couple random facts about the game:
- Gumdrop loves growing red flowers
- The game is based off of "Within a Deep Forest" by Nifflas, and all of the NPCs are also present in the original game
- This is my first game I've made with proper start and end screens
- This is also my first game I've made in a team! (Shoutout to TotallyNotFanatic25 for making music for this game!!!)

This game is super cute! The music is perfect, the animations are wonderful. And the sounds little Gumdrop makes? Adorable!
EDIT: Reminds me of an old game called Parachute Ninja (same idea, ball character being thrown upwards through a forest by rubber bands)
Thanks! Our musician will be excited to hear that, I can tell :D
Art: 10/10
Music/audio: Can't tell because my PC volume is at 0% because I played it at work
Gameplay: 10/10
This was a lot of fun and I love the pixel art. Didn't check the secret because I was too afraid I'd fall all the way down.
So happy to see a Within the Deep Forest reference! I thought the opening dialogue couldn’t be a coincidence with the protagonist being a ball (oh and the lanterns too!), but the credits confirm it was intentional. Well done.
Thanks! By the way, are you from Nifflas’ discord? Because if not, then I’m even more glad to see somebody recognize Nifflas’ work! (I’m glad to see a fan of Nifflas either way btw)
I just happened to stumble upon this when browsing new games but it sounds like they would appreciate it over there!
9/10 good game
minus 1 point cause no GUNS
