I recently tried out the mobile game Pixel Tiny Fox, and it was such a cute looking game which reminded me a lot of the old school nostalgic games of my youth.
Gameplay wise you play as a cute little fox in a platformer style game, collecting as many gems as you can, while jumping over or avoiding obstacles and enemies.
You can jump and go backwards, but that's it for the controls. Your goal is to collect all the gems, and get as many as you can in order to unlock the other levels. Interestingly though the collected gems do not accumulate out of the game, you must actually gather the required amount while playing the first level and hope you survive long enough to collect all the gems you need.
If you die and start again, you will lose all the gems you had collected while playing the level. So if you are like me, and keep dying... You will be stuck on the first level for a very long time. I'm surprised you can't collect the gems and let them accumulate over time, but if they are going for the true old school experience, then it makes sense.
The old school games from the past were pretty challenging that way. Visually this game looks fantastic. It's bright and colorful, and the pixel art work is high quality too. Though the fox character seems a bit blurry? Or out of focus. I would have liked it to be a bit clearer, but that's just a small issue I noticed.
Overall I'd say that Pixel Tiny Fox is a great old school nostalgic pixel art game with a a small difficulty challenge when it comes to trying to unlock the other levels. But if you are an older gamer you will probably appreciate the dedication to making the game like the old games of the past. I did enjoy my time in this game, and think it would be a fun time killer. If you enjoy these sorts of games, you should definitely give it a shot.
