[JAM] Scale Forest Defense
Hi !
It's the first time I participate in a jam so please be nice :)
I couldn't manage to finish the game so I'll be happy to get advice, whether it is to help me make an improved version of this game or general advice for where to go next !
Controls:
- Move the mouse : move the bat.
- Left click : escape ability.
- Right click: pause menu.
Gameplay:
The bat will follow your mouse. You only have 5 life and you can't heal (yet).
Your character makes no damage. You have to fly over the tree seeds so they become tree and they can defend their forest against dumb adventurers who believe they will gain xp and gold by destroying everything !
Be careful: as time goes by, your tree army will scale up, but so will the dumb knights army and the map !
The Jam:
This game is part of the 2026 Kenney Game Jam and as such, it is not perfect (it was made in 2 days).
Challenges completed:
- No text outside of the flashscreen (title and play buttons).
- Mouse only
What's next ?
- Improving ui and QOL.
- Adding abilities for the bat (team healing/boost, mana).
- Adding more variety to the allies and enemies.
- Balancing the gameplay.

I really liked the visuals and the BGM! I would like to see a tutorial introduced to understand the mechanics at the star, but I think you have a great game, I will wait for the update!
Thank you ! Duly noted, will add a tutorial at the start. I'll let you know when I update the game, I already fixed a bunch of stuff on my home version :)
I like the animations!
I was a little confused at first on how to play, but I figured it out.
This is pretty good especially for a first jam, well done 👍
Thanks ! :D I think I'll add a tutorial or more obvious tips then.
played it until my browser lagged! it's pretty simple and i like the jiggling animation!
Hahah thanks ! I broke some stuff just before the build but if you like the game, come back at the end of this summer if you want. I'll update it next month to fix and balance it a bit more.
