FixFox is a wholesome sci-fi adventure game. Play as Vix, an unlucky space mechanic, who crashlands on a mysterious planet where tools are forbidden. Accompanied by her trusty toolbox Tin, Vix travels across the planet Karamel discovering hidden stashes left by pirates, repairing friendly household appliances, and sampling tasty local delicacies.
Traverse the planet on a peppy scooter, clear pathways with a hefty power loader, or simply go on a peaceful journey by foot to uncover all the landmarks on Karamel. Hum along to catchy chiptunes while discovering secret locations, testing your noggin on whimsical puzzles, and finally settling down for the night next to a toasty campfire looking up at the starry sky.
Repair machines with uplifting personalities such as a passionate lawn mower using unconventional tools like coins, bandages, glowy bananas… anything really. Live out a space mechanic’s dream by constructing and operating giant mechs to help out the local robots with their peculiar problems.
Fixing things can be tough but ending the day with cozy food always makes it better. Enjoy delicious meals the planet dwellers have to offer such as homey soups, warm rice bowls, and totally-not-expired pudding. Making a friend over a meal with hospitable robots may just reveal a vital clue to solving your next quest.
Starting with an unassuming beacon repair job Vix quickly finds herself mixed up in more than her own tale. An estranged brother looking for his long lost sibling, specialized artificial intelligences working through past traumas, and an ongoing feud between two planet factions are just a few of the tangled mysteries that need to be taken apart and fixed.
In order to survive the global catastrophe of Earth’s cold atmosphere post climate change, mankind has genetically modified themselves to take on animal traits. The fur acquired from the genetic splicing helps humanity cope with the freezing weather and the ability to hibernate allows humans to sleep through long interstellar flights. This furry future is where the story of FixFox takes place.
In the early 90s, my parents brought home our very first computer - the Polish knockoff of the Atari 8-bit. Using an old handbook, I learned how to code in Basic. From that moment, I wanted to dedicate my life to making games.
Fast forward to 2012, after visiting the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima and witnessing the consequences of violence and hatred, I made a personal vow to never play or make violent games. Instead, I focus on making games that promote kindness and friendship.
With experience from game jams and heartwarming support from my friends and family, the dream of making this game has become a reality.
Fueled by my passion for wholesome stories, sci-fi, and adventure games, FixFox was designed, written, drawn, and programmed by me - Jaroslav Meloun.
The music was composed and produced by the exceptionally talented Aleix Ramon.
The key art of Vix was created by the amazingly talented Jana Kilianová.
My wish is for YOUR dream to come true, just like mine!

I was ready to give this 3 stars until the last part of the game.
It started out great, fun concept, cute simple puzzles and interesting looking world.
Then...more of the simple puzzles, and a lot of doing the same rote thing over and over with slightly different story bits tying them together.
I got close to just abandoning the game.
In the end though, the last chapters leans heavily into storytelling again and concludes with a heartwarming tale.
If you want to play this for gameplay, you'll be sorely disappointed. If you want a story, this might be down your alley.
Just, save yourself the trouble and don't go around trying to do everything, you'll get tired of scrounging materials and fixing the same kind of issue over and over. A lot of the game is very much copy pasted. But go for the main objective and you'll find an enjoyable, if very simple story.
the game is mostly just driving around, solving puzzles and doing the repair minigame, where you fix broken machines.
it's a storydriven and relaxing game, so don't expect any challenge.
I wanted to like this game but after the first act the mechanics fail to evolve and the story is overly long filled with copy paste characters and sequences. If you like clicking and dragging and tapping “accept” to dialog boxes this one is for you. The “it was all a dream” style ending was not worth it.
The world has a great atmosphere, the characters are quite wacky and colorful and the story has lots of intriguing points. But sometimes it feels like a disconnected mash of ideas - for example to get from A to B you can 1) walk, 2) run, 3) ride a scooter, 4) use the scooter to teleport between bushes, 5) fly with drones, 6) zipline on a coathanger, 7) fly a spaceship, 8) ride one of four mythical mega-robots. Similarly, there are way too many different items available for repairing stuff, some of which make at most marginal sense (what device has a smell sensor? applying a spatula that glows purple to a part before closing it and it now works? using a donut as a cogwheel?). It's a pity though, because at the core it IS a fun game, just needs a bit of trimming content-wise. The music and graphics are great and most story quests are fun to solve and watch.
