BANNWALD by CSAF is a free simulation-strategy game about avalanche defense the slow way: plant a protective forest above a mountain village, and wait — because the trees take winters to grow, and the snow doesn't. Six screenshots show the alpine strategy at work.
Named after the German 'Bannwald' (protective forest), it's a management game about patience against weather — plant early, plant right, and hope the trees beat the blizzards.
How to Play
Plant and manage the protective forest above the village to hold the snowpack. Trees mature over multiple winters — balance growth against the storms arriving now.
Controls
Mouse – plant trees and manage the forest
See the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes.
Tips & Tricks
Plant the first winter, not the desperate one — forests need lead time.
Dense planting near the top of the slope catches the avalanche before it gains mass.
