We’ve seen a lot of versions of the story of the girl wearing a red hood trying to escape from a wolf intent on gobbling her up, from fairy tales to movies to musicals to graphic novels, and even to a few guestings on TV series. We’ve also seen a few mobile games around, but A Day in the Woods may be the least scary but most stylish and most interesting, if you’re into puzzle games and things like that.
In this game, you are not Little Red Riding Hood nor the Big Bad Wolf. Rather, you are the “wispy winged sprite friend” whose task it is to move some tiles around so that the protagonist and antagonist in this tale shall never meet. Aside from avoiding the inevitable confrontation with the wolf, you actually help Red stay away from other woodland creatures like bears and spiders that might do her harm, while she gathers flowers and berries. But not everyone in the woods is scary, as you’ll meet rabbits, beehives, and a kindly woodcutter who can help you along the way.
And of course, the end goal is for our little heroine to actually reach Granny’s house. But there are 60 different puzzle levels that you would need to solve, and not all of them are that easy. You can unlock sprite elements so that you’ll get different wings, flares, and trails. There are also season backdrops that can be unlocked to make your game even prettier. And it already is plenty pretty, with its woodcut style art and of course, the fairy tale feel.
You can download A Day in the Woods from the Google Play Store for just $4.99. But that’s just a one-time fee, all-in, with no more in-app purchases.
