About this game

The plot is extremely conditional: an anthropomorphic fox - a government agent, for whom we have to play, is chasing another anthropomorphic fox, an international criminal - while the chase will stretch over seven levels, inhabited by various creatures hostile to our hero who will have to kill.

It may sound surprising, but Fire Fox- the game is very simple, even for a platforming game in principle, and even more so for a representative of this subgenre from East Asia. It cannot be called quite elementary, since there is a risk of death here, but nevertheless it is explicitly targeted at children and (or) people who do not like "fast" arcades. The perspective of the review is, of course, a side view. In the upper left corner of the screen, next to the portrait of the protagonist, the number of "lives" he has is displayed, and a little lower, in the form of grayish dots, - the health reserve within each of them, numbering several units. The fox can jump ("space"), and as a weapon uses an endless set of some sticks ("Ctrl"). You can improve your health with the help of bonuses in the form of various food products (sausages, hamburgers, and so on), not found on every corner, but still not very rare. At each level, you can collect diamonds, which are kept in the upper right corner - unfortunately, it is not known whether finding each such object is a prerequisite for completing the level, but in any case it will be difficult to miss them. To proceed to the next stage, you need to take a bonus in the form of a conditional "medal" and, in fact, get to the finish point.
