FOX n FORESTS

  Overall, I'd say this game is worth it if you're big into retro platformers. There are some small issues and one rather annoying thing that will keep the general public away. == The Good == The graphics are gorgeous and the music is very catchy. I especialy love how the dev ensured all the "pixels" are the same size, much like Sonic Mania. It helps sell the retro feel of the game. I'm not going to harp on about the great presentation of FnF, you can scroll up and watch the demo video for…

  [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/31067175/] If you enjoy this review please consider following my Curator page here . FOX n FORESTS is a retro-inspired, pixel art platformer. Stop me if you’ve heard this before. FnF does enough to distinguish itself from the thousands of other indie platformers out there and I found to be an overall good experience, albeit with some hangups. You play as the titular fox, Rick, and have the ability to swap between seasons in each level. There is…

  Kickstarter backer. As a foreword, all of these are patchable problems. I expect I'll check back in several months to see whether or not this game evolves into something fun to play. The controls are not responsive, and I cannot do the actions I want to do. Nearly every action incurs a substantial cooldown before any other action can be taken. I often find myself getting hit by projectiles or enemies that I planned to hit because I cannot attack quickly enough. The game seems designed around…

  TL;DR: Save your money; there are better games at this price point. Good art and fun platforming but was ultimately a frustrating experience. The game wasn't awful. I liked the art, and most of the levels had a fun aesthetic that completely changed when you changed the season, giving variety to each level. The music wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't bad either. I didn't have any of the animation smoothness problems that other people seemed to have. It controlled really well…

  Just learned that the Tommy Tallarico version of Fox N Forests is on the eShop Finally you can pay more for a version of the game that replaces the lovingly crafted pixel art with rigged vector puppets because the boss has a hate boner for sprites.

  This game is the right choice if you want some hardcore platforming action, very nice pixel graphics and beautiful music. In this game you'll join the cunning fox named Rick in some wild journey to the very heart of the dense magical forest, which has been frozen in time, to break the spell and return the streams of time into their usual course. Rick got armed with newfound trusty bayonetted crossbow, which is, being a magical weapon, will not only help him to fight hordes of monsters in…

  I'm not a backer to this game, I just saw it through a group's discord and became interested in the product. Since I'm one of the first to play I might as well give my thoughts so you know what you're getting into At first glance, it looks like a standard indie-platformer with a furry themed character. However when I looked at it I knew what it was. It's an adventure platformer, a genre that is not common within the current norm. This is not Shantae, this is not Shovel Knight, this is not…

While games like Dungeon of the Endless or Risk of Rain are pixelated as a style, FnF wants you to feel like you've just plugged in Act Raiser, freshly rented from BlockBuster, with a task to defeat the challenge set before you of doing everything there is to do in the game over a weekend before having…

  I want to start by saying that I've really been enjoying this game for the most part. The graphics are beautiful, the stages are fairly challenging without being too frustrating (until a certain point -- I'll get to that soon), the music is awesome, and it overall does a very nice job of providing a retro platformer experience. I felt like I was playing a genuine SNES classic from the 90s. However, I can't recommend it in its current state because of a problem with the controls. There are many…

  The game overall is not bad, but it has some major flaws. Pros: - Good pixelated graphics, Cons: - Awful controls. For example, when you switch between seasons, you are unable to move for a brief moment. But this often resulted in me being hit by something or someone. Otherwise, if the controls were fine, this could have been easily avoidable. Sometimes you're unable to perform a dash, no matter how fast you hit the action button resulting in disturbed gameplay flow. Often enemies hit you…

  For the most part the game is a decently fun retro platformer. There are some slight issues with some frustrating hit box detection and control responsiveness, but the big kicker was a buggy jump in the 3rd world boss. There is a thread about it in discussion and apparently there are technical fixes and the devs also supplied a level skip code to pass it, but none of that makes me want to finish playing the game. If the devs can't clean up their game so this basic issue isn't a roadblock to…

  The game looks nice and remind me of the old days, but there are some details that won't let me recommend it. First, the game won't save your progress unless you finish the stage. This is a problem because the stages are fairly big and take some time to finish, thus locking you on the game. Need to leave for work? Dinner's ready? Need to take a dump? Want to play something else? Well, the devs want you to f**k yourself as you gonna have to play everything again. Then there is the combat…

  [Played on the Switch version, tested on PC] My earliest days gaming were spent playing colorful platformers on my Super Nintendo and Game Boy Color. Because of my gaming heritage, I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for pixelated platformers. It’s a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that I feel excited, true genuine excitement, when I see a new pixel platformer release. Nostalgia immediately surges through my brain and I feel the crisp warmth of childhood feelings settle into the…

  I first saw stuff about this game over a year ago, I think, I don't remember, it's been awhile and I was intrigued. Mostly because the main character was a fox, but it also looked fun. I don't usually play platformer games often, so it's not a genre I'm too familiar but I think this game is pretty fun from what I've played. The controls are good, movement feels a little slow but it's not frustratingly slow. I love the pixel art and the music. There does seem to be a lot of back tracking once…

Basically this game has terrible game design where it artificially makes the gameplay harder. The last world is really frustrating. Personally, liked the…

If you ever wanted to play a game where the developer seems to hate you, then here's FOX n FORESTs. The idea of the game is cool, a platformer where you use the power of the seasons to solve puzzles, the problem is that the game attempts to be more like "Dark Souls" than an enjoyable platformer.

  You can only shoot bolts when you're standing, and have to melee when you jump\duck\look up? Can't they just separate the melee and ranged attacks to different buttons? Just assign them each to a button (X and B on a controller, which both do the same thing at the moment) and problem solved. How hard is it? Also, you can't attack when double-jumping, while there are plenty of respawning, floating enemies. I found this out after only 5 minutes into the game. What the hell is this BS? Refunded.

  It usually isn't a good sign when you play through a level in a game and see a bunch of colored objects you can't yet interact with, because it usually means the gametime will be artificially extended by mandatory backtracking. And yep, that's exactly what happened here, and was the prime factor in me dropping this game.

  I backed this game on Kickstarter, and I do really enjoy this game. It purposely has an SNES aesthetic, and they keep to it so well. The season change mechanic and large, sprawling levels do make the game enjoyable. The music reminds me a great deal of Final Fantasy 6's music and fits the game's tone well. A good level of challenge and a great means of encouraging exploration. Care was taken with this game and if you enjoy old school side scrollers, you should check this out.

The aesthetics and art are genuinely beautiful and evocative of the best of the SNES and DOS eras, and the soundtrack is killer, but the gameplay ends up feeling more like a vessel for the artists' work rather than a game that truly stands out.

  While everyone else was infatuated with making retro games based on the NES, this developer jumped up a generation. This is modeled after a classic SNES Platformer, and it shows; the aesthetic, music, and even design are dead on.

The pixel art is gorgeous and makes great use of color to really sell the season-switching mechanic. The music, while not exceptional, is certainly adequate and very reminiscent of the SNES's sample-based soundtracks. The idea behind switching seasons is also a good one, with a few clever puzzles.
