What is Forest of Radiance?

Forest of Radiance is a side-scrolling platformer with three stages: Fernlight Glade, Mooncap Canopy and Crystalroot Ruins.

How a stage works

Every stage has a crystal target shown in the HUD as earned crystals against the target, plus the total available in the stage. The targets are 4, 5 and 6 for the three stages. A glowing portal waits at the end, but it only lets you through once you hold enough crystals; touching it too early shows a message that it needs more. Each stage also hides a cache near a clue: get close to the clue and the cache appears, and collecting it adds bonus crystals.

Clearing a stage

Run right, jumping onto ledges and moving platforms.
Grab crystals along the way and watch the counter against the stage target.
Stomp puffcaps from above or jump over them; touching one from the side costs a heart.
Walk near the clue to reveal the hidden cache and take its bonus crystals if you are short.
Enter the portal once you meet the target to move on. Clearing stage three restores the forest.

Controls

A / D or left / right arrows: Move left and right

On-screen LEFT, RIGHT and JUMP buttons: Touch controls on phones and tablets

Tips

Stomping a puffcap bounces you upward, which can reach crystals placed higher up.
Falling off the bottom costs a heart and sends you back to the stage entrance.
If you run out of hearts, the current stage restarts, so slow down on jumps over gaps.
Check the HUD before the portal: if you are a crystal short, look for the cache near the clue instead of running through the stage again.
