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!
