"FoxyLand"

Reviewed by: Carless Yen

Platform: Xbox One

Foxyland is a simplistic platformer where you try to get from point A to point B, collecting all the items a long the way. It is full of simple and difficult jumps, enemies, and traps. You play as a Fox in a retro like world the likes of a Sega Genesis or SNES title. It holds true to that era, in feel as well as difficulty level. If your going for three stars on every level, I can see you playing them over a few times. Ya Foxy might me a cute little fox in a colorful world, but his level design certainly isn't just for the kiddies. Foxyland doesn't hold your hand and will make you earn those 3 stars you get at the end of each level. You can advance even if you don't get three stars , but where is the fun in that?

If you enjoy retro games Foxyland will certainly entertain you with its feel and look. The 8 bit music, the pixels, the difficult jumps, everything takes you back, but it is still far from perfect.

The developers name is Bug-Studio kind of funny really , because the game was loaded with them for me. First time I tried it I couldn't even get it to start because the cursor wouldn't move with controller so i had to wait a few days for the fix. Then tons of times it would just shut off out of no where. The music gets really old quick. There are two songs one for the levels, and one for the menu. I found myself a few hours in hitting that mute button on my TV remote. If you can look past these simple flaws though Foxyland does deliver a lot of retro charm, and he is adorable to play with. I love the unlocks. They don't do anything but cosmetic I don't think, but its cool see how cute the little hats, and clothes look on Foxy as you unlock them.

Pros: Looks great, and very Retro

Difficulty and unlocked items encourage replay

Pin point controls

Adorable character

Cons: Shuts off out of no where

Music gets old really quick.

Overall: 7.1 A cute little retro platformer with a few flaws, but a lot of NES style fun to be had.
