ForestSaver (2022)
ForestSaver is an overhead action game for the Commodore 64 by Raffaele Intorcia in which you play a forest ranger defending the woods. Woodcutters with axes, tank trucks dumping pollution into the lakes and arsonists clearing land for pasture keep moving in, and you have to reach each one and fine them before the damage spreads. Every offender you catch is worth points, and banked points let the ranger cross obstacles that would otherwise block the way. Three levels of growing trouble are packed onto one disk. Free software under the GPL-3.0 license; source code: github.com/intoinside/ForestSaver.
