The Brazilian developer WINDIE Games has released Curupira: The Forest Guardian, an action-adventure game inspired by national folklore. Available for free on Android, the game puts players in the role of the legendary Curupira, as well as other creatures from Brazil’s rich folklore.
In the game, the goal is clear: protect the forest from threats like deforestation. It’s a running game, but players can also jump and dodge obstacles. The environments are varied.
It reminded me a lot of Robot Unicorn Attack, Tiny Wings, and other games from the past, but this one has that special “Brazilian flavor.”
Folklore and environment at the heart of the experience
Curupira: The Forest Guardian takes a more educational approach. Through progression mechanics, the player unlocks new characters, special abilities, and explores different regions of the forest — always with the goal of protecting nature. In a playful way, the game promotes environmental awareness.
Among the game’s highlights are its colorful and detailed graphics, which faithfully represent natural and cultural elements of Brazil. The environments and characters were created based on folklore research and feature an art direction aimed at a young and family-friendly audience.
Main features of the game
- Platform challenges with dynamic obstacles;
- Theme inspired by Brazilian folklore;
- Educational elements about environmental preservation;
- Unlockable characters and abilities throughout the journey.
According to the developer, the idea is to reinforce the importance of national culture in video games and promote environmental education through entertainment. The game is available on the Google Play Store and already has updates planned to include new challenges and explorable regions.
Curupira: The Forest Guardian is a great example of how fun, cultural identity, and ecological awareness can be combined in the world of mobile games.
