Thornwake: Forest Adventure

Fight the darkness. Restore the wild.

Thornwake is a hand-drawn 16-bit action platformer set in a fading autumn forest. Play as Rowan, a silver-haired Grove Keeper, and fight to bring the wild woods back to life — sword in one hand, elemental magic in the other.

Explore 40 hand-crafted levels across five campaigns, battle the creatures corrupting the forest, and rekindle a dying world one level at a time.


HAND-DRAWN PIXEL ART
A cozy, moody world of copper leaves and deep-purple dusk. Every level is drawn by hand in classic 16-bit / SNES-era style, with parallax woods, swamps, peaks and ice.

FIVE WORLDS TO CLEANSE
Whispering Woods, Mire of Whispers, Frostspine Heights, Frozen Wastes and The Scorched Reach — each with its own palette, enemies and hazards.

EXPLORE & COLLECT
Hunt hidden artefacts, apples and coins tucked into every corner. Take on optional platforming challenges for players who like to sweep a level clean before they leave it.

UPGRADE YOUR LOADOUT
Spend what you find in the shop to grow stronger — spells by the bundle, and mushrooms that boost speed, jump, attack and invincibility. The shop always accelerates you; it never blocks your progress.

BUILT FOR MOBILE
Tight, responsive touch controls. Short levels and instant restarts, made for playing anywhere — on the bus, in a queue, or curled up at home. Playable offline, no account required.

FAIR AND FRIENDLY
Free to play, all forty levels. Nothing interrupts a level: watch an ad only if you choose to, for a revive or a handful of coins. Suitable for ages 6+.
