This game is an absolute fever dream of good ideas executed in baffling and bizarre ways. I had a lot of fun with this game – I’d dare say I was addicted for a while – but there’s just so much to unpack here that I’m rather at a loss for words. I’ve put off this review for long enough, so I’m going to do my best, but this is such a weird one that I can’t guarantee that my writing will be coherent. You’re Reynard, an intelligent fox who lives on a remote island, home to a mysterious spring that makes animals smarter when they drink from it. One day, an evil wizard comes to investigate the power of the spring. He kidnaps a local piglet into the “foxhole,” a deep, complex dungeon that changes every time you enter it. Luckily for you, the bad guy dropped his infinity gauntlet along the way, which will grant you the power to fig…

It's a below-average dungeon crawler with a rune system that adds small damage buffs to weapons that can have runes slotted in them. The tower defence sections are heavily based on luck. The TD maps are not balanced at all, so it's a matter of "Can I beat this map with a few bubble turrets?" If not, then you lose. The only one i've managed to beat is where the stairway is right next to two tower spots and there's only one direction the enemies can come from. The game is cute, but there just isn't much meat here.

Its not bad, it just doesn't even come close to competing with the games it is drawing inspiration from. The mechanics and UI are just a bit too clunky and the stamina/inventory system with the combat is just needlessly awkward to manage. These are the games I would HIGHLY recommend you check out instead... -Binding of Issac -Hades -Enter the Gungeon -Monolith -Nuclear Throne

controls are too clunky, for a fast pace game I don't really see how that is not the main priority for the dev! sorry, it's a pass!

Papa John doesn't try to sell me pizza but I still like him none the same.

Game tends to crash quite a bit. Not sure why but it can get rather annoying. When it does play it can be rather fun. Really not worth the price tag, more like a very short RPG random dungeon maker. Reminds me of Pixel Dungeon. Wish devs would continue what they were doing with the game, seems very unfinished
