Fox n Forests is a two-dimensional side-scrolling platform game that references classic titles of the genre, like Castlevania and ActRaiser 2.

It was funded during a Kickstarter campaign. There it managed to gather more than 107 000 euro.
Fox n Forests is an old-school 2D side-scrolling platform game. The players must beat levels and fight enemies, including powerful bosses that frequently are the size of a large part of the screen. The main protagonist is a fox equipped with a magic crossbow. The weapon enables him to hit his enemies from distance. It can also be used in close combat. The item is able to change the time of the year. This means that each level features two versions. Using this ability is required to solve challenges that at first might seem to be unbeatable.
Fox n Forests features only a singleplayer mode.
Fox n Forests was made to feature atmospheric 16-bit graphics filled with colors. Both characters and levels reference the games that were popular during the nineties and much effort was put into making them.

Game Ratings for Fox n Forests Video Game.
Hardcore Gamer: 4 / 5 by Jeremy Peeples
Fox n Forests is a great game, but does wind up being slotted a bit below something like Shovel Knight. The core platforming and action-oriented combat work well, as does the seasonal shifting mechanic.
The Digital Fix: 7 / 10 by Paul Williams
A lovingly crafted 16-bit platformer for fans of Wonderboy and Ghouls 'n' Ghosts, Fox n Forests has enough style and addictive side-scrolling gameplay to ultimately outweigh its structural flaws.
Jump Dash Roll: 7 / 10 by Steve Vegvari
Any initial excitement is washed away within the first hour or two, giving way to repetition, boredom and often complete frustration. Extinction had great potential but sadly comes up way short.
