Our take on Forest Home
The bounce point is route planning: paths must handle obstacles, bridges, food, and a goblin while guiding animals home. Players who prefer uncomplicated puzzles may hit a wall when the game reaches its most demanding stages and boss levels.
What is Forest Home?
Guide lost animals through eight forest regions by drawing paths with a finger, mouse, or gamepad.
Routes must avoid obstacles, cross bridges, collect food, and evade a mischievous goblin. The game includes thousands of puzzles, ranging from simple stages to mind-melting challenges and boss levels. A dynamic puzzle system combines with varied obstacles and mechanics to support replay. Environments include deep woods, mountain ranges, and mangrove swamps. Progress also includes a scrapbook with dozens of unlockables and achievements. Colorful characters and a family-friendly theme accompany the path-drawing puzzles.
