Ever wanted to travel through space as a human-fox hybrid? Now’s your chance!
Embark on an adventure into the depths of space as Vix, an unlucky space mechanic, who crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden. Accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin, they travel across the planet Karamel discovering hidden stashes left by pirates, repairing friendly household appliances, and sampling tasty local delicacies.
Prague, Czech Republic - Tuesday 25th January 2022: Rendlike is excited to announce its forthcoming open-world 2D interstellar adventure FixFox will launch on Steam on March 31st, 2022.
Offering players an opportunity to sink into a universe powered by some eye-popping pixel-art, FixFox stands as a wholesome sci-fi adventure game, tracking the adventures of a human-fox hybrid Vix who has a penchant for fixing things. Unlucky as she is, Vix crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden, but sets out to fix everything she happens across whilst accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin.
It’s cute, it’s invigorating, and, most importantly, it’s engaging and entertaining. FixFox mixes a healthy dose of exploration with some bewitching puzzles that task players with everything from fixing a sentient kitchen appliance to constructing and operating giant mechs. It’s a universe designed to make you feel at home as you overcome the obstacles in your path by using anything and everything you come across to fix every fault.
“FixFox is a game powered by positivity, I’d say,” says Jaroslav Meloun, Studio Owner at Rendlike. “We wanted to offer players a challenge without feeling completely cold - an environment where every moment of exploration offers up an opportunity for fun. I was actually inspired by No Man’s Sky when starting development and, while the end result is naturally quite different, there are beats in FixFox that definitely stir the same feelings of finding delight in discovery.”
In FixFox you will:
- Explore and discover: 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.
- Enjoy a peaceful sunrise: 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.
- Fix and build: Repair machines with uplifting personalities such as a passionate lawn mower using unconventional tools like coins, bandages, glowy bananas… anything really.
- Always something fun to do: Live out a space mechanic’s dream by constructing and operating giant mechs to help out the local robots with their peculiar problems.
- Eat and make friends: 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.
- Fix more than machines: 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.
The development of FixFox has been funded by Joystick Ventures, an endeavor designed to partner with talented developers to build thriving studios that release visionary games.
FixFox will launch on Steam on March 31st, 2022 for $14.99/£11.39/€12.49.
