Bonus Level Entertainment’s retro 16-bit inspired platformer Fox n Forests will be hitting Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC this spring. To help drum up some hype for the release of this beautiful pixel creation publisher Eurovideo sent out a press release today highlighting a brand new in-game video – featuring level 1:2 titled “Gorgeous George”.
In Fox n Forests players take on the role of anthropomorphic fox who will utilize a magic crossbow and the ability to change the seasons at will to navigate the stunning worlds of this title. When the seasons change the world around Rick also changes – for example when changing the season to Fall, leaves might become platforms that open up alternate routes to harder enemies, epic loot and brand new puzzles.
Speaking about their approach to level design the game’s director Rupert Ochsner had this to say:
“Level design is one of the most important tasks in game development, all elements need to come together in an entertaining way and it can make or break the game.”
Based in Munich, Germany Bonus Level Entertainment successfully KickStarted 100,000+ Euros to bring their vision for Fox n Forests to life during the summer of 2016. Their mission is to reinvent the 16-bit style of gameplay by preserving what made the SNES era so magical while introducing new gameplay mechanics and systems from a more modern perspective.
