I really enjoyed playing this game. Wanted to try something basic and retro. Fitz isn't very complex but it is still done well. The music is pleasing and the controls are very fair. If you die it's your fault. Most, if not all enemies will display patterns in their movement placing some aspect of strategy and timing into this little gem. I would reccommend the game for those who want a taste of something nostalgic. Reminds me of my old NES. The price may be a bit high for what the game has to offer. However, this game gives a good experience and a fun little plot. 8/10 - Nasty Nate from Narcoleptic Nerd Productions

This is a very uninspired platformer. The levels don't built upon or play with the mechanics, and it all just feels very dull. It doesn't really capture the feel of handheld platformers or Game Boy platformers. I can't really recommend it.

[h1]FoxMania: The Quest To Review All Fox Games On Steam![/h1] [i]Conditions for inclusion: [list] [*]The player character must be consistently a fox; the fox must not be merely a skin or a character option [*]Must have 100% working Steam achievements [*]Must not be a visual novel [/list][/i] [b]Game #1: Fitz the Fox[/b] Fitz the Fox starts as a quaint, basic little platformer with a Game Boy-homaging color scheme and some really cute sprites. Aside from some wonky hitboxes and annoying enemy behaviors, it's fine. "Quaint" is about the perfect word for it. There's a few good pieces in the soundtrack. Oddly, while the visuals and sound effects are all strictly retro-ized, the music doesn't nearly limit itself to chiptune like most games of similar style. I like the way the game handles lives. You can only have three lives at once, but if you lose one, you'll lose a few points and then automatically "buy" another life for 500 more points. This encourages you to go out of your way t...

Hey and this is my review about the game! This is a 2D- platforming game. [h1]Interface/Menu/Settings[/h1] The game is based on a Gameboy Pocket game. The game is Green like in the old days with 8 Bit Graphics. Music is very interesting and good, Each level has their own Music and there is variety! You are able to play this game with a xbox controller. With Rumble function! There is no volume slider, You can either turn the Audio (music and sound) off or on. You can play this on fullscreen or window mode. [h1]About the game[/h1] You are a Fox and you need to rescue your fellow fox friends from the hunters. As you progress, you will be able to play with different Foxes, however you can't choose which one you will be. The game is relative short and starts off easy but the game gets harder and it is very enjoyable! There is a score but this only counts for getting 1-Ups. There are no leaderboards or anything. Each time u have reached a 500 point score, you will get a 1-up. You can h...

Imma not trought the Game yet, but everything i've seen so far is pretty well made for a retro Gameboy style. The only one drawback is that german Keyboards need to use the english Keyboard Layout when playing it, because the Z and Y buttons are switched up and the Game doesn't support that.

Great game!! A great retro platformer in Game Boy style. Positives: -Great Soundtrack. -Cool graphics. -Good control. -Beautiful Story. Negatives: -Play with pink fox is very hard, the control don't respond immediately and is necessary an exaggerated precision. -Very short, really i wanted to play with blue fox for a complete revenge against the hunters! 8/10 - A hidden gem in steam. THANKS FOR THIS GAME.

I love gameboy games, but as an homage, this is hit and miss. It looks very like a gameboy game but sounds nothing like a gameboy game. The gameplay is charmingly basic, but... Very very basic. One button to jump on enemies, instant death from any attack, 3 lives. I also didnt run into any bosses in 8 levels that i played. I struggle to think of a real gameboy game as basic as that. In real GB games theres usually an extra hit, a power up, a gimmick, anything, to make the game more interesting. The worst issue is that there is completely inexplicable lag to changing direction. Thats not even a thing in gameboy games, which played snappily and responsively. In a platformer, thats a serious problem, especially with the occasionally cheap or unreasonable enemy placement. A word on the difficulty by the way... It seems less like "As hard as they used to make them" from the perspective of an 80's kid who grew up with a grey chunky GB original, squinting at a ghosting, dark screen directly u...
