About FixFox
FixFox is a wholesome sci-fi adventure game. Play as Vix, an unlucky space mechanic, who crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden. Accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin, Vix travels across the planet Karamel discovering hidden stashes left by pirates, repairing friendly household appliances, and sampling tasty local delicacies.
Traverse the planet on a peppy scooter, clear pathways with a hefty power loader, or simply go on a peaceful journey by foot to uncover all the landmarks on Karamel. Hum along to catchy chiptunes while discovering secret locations, testing your noggin on whimsical puzzles, and finally settling down for the night next to a toasty campfire looking up at the starry sky.
Repair machines with uplifting personalities such as a passionate lawn mower using unconventional tools like coins, bandages, glowy bananas… anything really. Live out a space mechanic’s dream by constructing and operating giant mechs to help out the local robots with their peculiar problems.
Fixing things can be tough but ending the day with cozy food always makes it better. Enjoy delicious meals the planet dwellers have to offer such as homey soups, warm rice bowls, and totally-not-expired pudding. Making a friend over a meal with hospitable robots may just reveal a vital clue to solving your next quest.
Starting with an unassuming beacon repair job Vix quickly finds herself mixed up in more than her own tale. An estranged brother looking for his long lost sibling, specialized artificial intelligences working through past traumas, and an ongoing feud between two planet factions are just a few of the tangled mysteries that need to be taken apart and fixed.
In order to survive the global catastrophe of Earth’s cold atmosphere post climate change, mankind has genetically modified themselves to take on animal traits. The fur acquired from the genetic splicing helps humanity cope with the freezing weather and the ability to hibernate allows humans to sleep through long interstellar flights. This furry future is where the story of FixFox takes place.
In the early 90s, my parents brought home our very first computer - the Polish knockoff of the Atari 8-bit. Using an old handbook, I learned how to code in Basic. From that moment, I wanted to dedicate my life to making games.Fast forward to 2012, after visiting the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima and witnessing the consequences of violence and hatred, I made a personal vow to never play or make violent games. Instead, I focus on making games that promote kindness and friendship.
With experience from game jams and heartwarming support from my friends and family, the dream of making this game has become a reality.
Fueled by my passion for wholesome stories, sci-fi, and adventure games, FixFox was designed, written, drawn, and programmed by me - Jaroslav Meloun.The music was composed and produced by the exceptionally talented Aleix Ramon.
The key art of Vix was created by the amazingly talented Jana Kilianová.
My wish is for YOUR dream to come true, just like mine!

starting this review by saying that this is not a cozy game in any absolute means... everytime you loot and/or fix something, you have a 'countdown' before your stash gets raided by the pirates and/or police. too many terms popping up everywhere for you to keep track of when you're already feeling lost with the first quest given along with the endless backtracking is EXHAUSTING if your patience runs thin with fetch quests. i'm at chapter 5 and doing my best to not give up because the tasks were said to be in an arbitrary order so why can't i unlock an area without an important item from another person's memory??? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, if you want the player to follow a certain order then STATE it. the navigator doesn't work as intended as it only points to an area you've already DISCOVERED BY YOURSELF and not what is convenient or near to you. oh and you need to finish exploring plus fixing every item at every area on a planet so the map marks the area's name or else you'll have to explore the vast empty planet all over again (((: when it gets dark, it gets DARK as in you'll have to camp to sleep through the night... which i do not need my companion bot to waste 10 seconds of the same …5 found this helpful
Silly little game about helping others. Puzzles are relatively simple and easy but I don't see that as a negative. Not every game needs to have 4D chess PhD level puzzles. Good game to relax with before bed or to cheer up a bit after a rough day.3 found this helpful
It kinda hurts to put up a negative review, because I can see the charm and potential in this game. It is decent, don't get me wrong, but it lacks the right ideas and execution to make it actually good all the while it suffers greatly from its flaws. I'll start with a few good points : designs overall are pretty cute. The gameplay loop is simple and efficient enough that fixing over and over doesn't really get boring. The storyline is pretty long, but it doesn't feel too stretched out. The characters are somewhat charming. The animations and UIs that you will go through on repeat (calling a taxi/pickup/delivery for example) are really fast and effective, so they don't feel like a burden. However the flaws just make the good points secondary : - extremely redundant mechanics (example : movement has the scooter, short-range tp that speeds up movement on scooter, ziplines between important points, and on top of that a free, fast teleport to any location that you unlock very early in the game), these redundant mechanics don't feel earned, nor do they each have their niche use, you can just play the whole game teleporting everywhere if you wish to as long as you've gone once to …2 found this helpful
