Through The Forest

Hello everyone! Today March 6 is my birthday and I wanted to celebrate it by sharing the game I've been working on lately.


Through The Forest is an Immersive Environment 2D pixelart Game in which I experimented by mixing free assets from different artists around the world to create an enjoyable, simple game experience.

This is the first version of the game. in the future I will continue to update and add mechanics that make it more interesting and complex. In this version I focus more than anything on the environment and the theme of the game.


The whole game was developed in 33 hours. I recorded all the process, which you can see in this playlist on youtube.

This project's goal is to demonstrate my productive capacity to video game companies and to reach out to anyone interested in this game for support.


The Windows version performs a bit better than its web counterpart, so I'm raising funds to buy a Game Maker Studio license to be able to export it to Windows. To those who want and can collaborate with some dollars, you can do so by sending funds to my Paypall account. As soon as I gather 100 dollars, I will buy the license and export the game to Windows for everyone to download it.


Press the "R" key during the game to expand the resolution (lowers the game performance in the web version)


If you don't feel like playing the game yourself or you just like to watch, you can check out this gameplay video in my YouTube

I really liked the ambience of this game. Even tough there's enemies it still feels calm all the way. Great work!

JamesChapp responds:

Thank you very much- I'm already working on our new C-YAN project =)

the screen is too small to see what I'm doing.

JamesChapp responds:

When the level start. you can press "R" to resize de resolucion of the game to 1920x720.
this is explaines in the description =)

Looks beautiful and promising. And Happy Birthday!

JamesChapp responds:

Thank you very Much=) i glad u like the game

Update: Thanks for your help! I've just seen that 'R' increases the resolution too. It's an enjoyable and atmospheric game. Been having some problems with the complex controls and the tutorial isn't too helpful (I stop the horse the F and it only tells me to press E after I've pressed it already and moved slightly right). It also randomly exited the game the last three times I played which is a bigger issue.

JamesChapp responds:

Hello. Try to click on the grey space around the gameview. and the browser will focus the game window.
Thats how my friends fix that problem. =)

fun but need some fixing

JamesChapp responds:

Thank you very much.
The whole game was developed in 33 hours. this is just the DEMO.
If you have any suggestions, it is appreciated and will be implemented in future versions.
