AlcoFox

UPDATE: Changing from thumbs down to thumbs up. The fast update tweaked the stamina mechanic and now the game is a true platformer with unlimited jumping ability. But most of the design choices are still questionable. The concept and art are fine, but the game's mechanics and other design decisions prevent it from being enjoyable to play. The protagonist of the tale is a mixed-race fox who aspires to be something other than an alcoholic slacker. Let's just say that the story is quite basic and that your overall goal is to change your destiny. The game plays like any other action/platformer. You can jump, scale walls, and attack. You immediately realize that the stamina system is involved in all actions, which is fine when done correctly and just for certain acts. However, in this game it’s highly aggravating because jumping also depletes your stamina. Platformers require a lot of jumping, thus you'll spend most of your time waiting for it to fully recharge before making a jump. Then wait once again on the following platform. And again. The same goes for combat. Each battle becomes a chore due to the very slow recharge. You're moving around wasting a lot of your stamina trying …

It's fun! Adventures with an alcoholic fox. There are many stages, and various iron and creatures threaten the fox's life.

Fun game! Gloomy humorous platformer, the game design is cool. Colors, sounds, tricky traps. A lot of fun! I advise you to try it!!!

hey there, just dropping by and letting y'all know that I've been playing this fantastic 2D platformer and I'm absolutely loving it! the irony and dark comedy vibes really make it stand out from any other game about finding purpose. I mean, who wouldn't love an alcoholic squirrel-fox trying to find the best life while mocking the consumer society? it's genius really! I've played several levels already, and at first, it seems pretty easy, but then BAM! I'm stuck, crashed, or falling off a cliff. it's classic pissing off, but in a good way that keeps me coming back for more. the music is spot on and adds to the overall vibe of the game. I also love the mechanics, and game style, especially the use of a bottle as stamina. the creatures and backgrounds are beautifully made and remind me of many stylistic-like stuff from Poe's tales or even Lovecraft. soooo cool authentic atmosphere, dynamics, and unique illustration style really drew me in. I also noticed several catchy references, such as Alien's bones, e.g. gonna play more and highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a fun and unique platformer. great work!
