[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 #37: FoxyRush[/b] This is a one-button auto-runner game. The fox runs automatically in one direction until it hits a wall. But it isn’t just a game of reflexes; the levels offer many opportunities to stop running, allowing for some timing-based puzzles. The double-jump flings you forward at a faster speed than running, which adds an element of skill to a lot of the jumps, and also allows you to outrun some otherwise-undodgable obstacles. There are 64 levels. Each level has 3 optional challenge stars. Signs point towards most of the optional routes, but the method of getting the stars isn’t always obvious, making for some minor routing puzzles. Soon, the game starts introducing Meat Boy sawblades, enemies, and additional movement methods like swinging ropes and bounce springs. Levels are blissfully short and checkpoints are numerous, so there isn’t a lot…

This is an auto-runner. The promotional material makes it look like a traditional platformer. The description does not indicate this either. I was so excited when I saw this game, the visuals, design, sound, and music are all fantastic. Unfortunately I absolutely hate auto-runners. I would not even bother leaving a review had it been made more obvious this was the case. I am very sad.

This is a very fun platformer! It has a unique and interesting control scheme. Unlike other games that try too hard to have different controls and only have infuriating results, this one works. It gets hard fast. Recommended.
