Fox Dash


An interesting story line of a lonesome fox in some post apocalyptic ruin of a city where the only companion is the large swarm of darkness that is trying to devour your soul! I may be embellishing here, but only a little bit. The real story is that you are a fox that likes to jump from building to building, from rock to rock, so on and so on, depending on the level.

The first thing that you notice when you launch this game is a menu option that you don't see that often. The option of a map maker, which allows you to place platforms and set the scenery for any adventure you can concoct. It takes a little bit of effort to figure this aspect of the game out, but it defiantly offers a new aspect to this relatively simple game that few others out there can boast. 

In the real game, well, it leaves a little bit to be desired. Jump here, jump there, don't jump there, jump there, but only at such and such time. Collect some stars for reasons that I have yet to fully understand, get stuck on the very last jump of a level and find yourself frustratingly sent back to the very beginning of the zone where you have to prove your jumping ability all over again. Just like the original Mario games, but without all the pesky entertainment value.

Recommendation: Get the game for its' map maker feature and just have fun with that.
