Fort Root

The cursed tree known as The High Dirge silenced our lands.
Reach the fort to end its hum.

Fort Root is a retro platformer inspired by the games I used to play in the NES era and their modern spins such as Shovel Knight (in particular Specter of Torment). Among others, inspirations also include Hollow Knight and Blasphemous, but I'm pretty sure you can guess some others (either recent or very old ones).

Actual development-time is about 3 months, but I had to take many breaks because of real life events taking the wheel, some of which eventually creeped into the project in the form of some story elements (it's not that deep, no worries).

Gameplay tested with keyboard and PS4 gamepad  (d-pad movement).
If you find any bugs or have any question feel free to let me know.

Obviously, and most importantly, I hope you enjoy and have fun.
