About the Game

Assume the role of Fox, the laser-blading alien from the HPP (Human Protection Program), and travel back in time, battling the Y2Krew across the ten decades of the 20th century, to save the human race and ultimately battle the Y2K Bug on New Year's Eve, 1999!


- Fast paced action platforming.
- Linear and obstacle-focused level design.
- Over 30 unique levels with their own themes, graphics, enemies and play features!
- New crazy gimmicks and tricks introduced constantly.

- Run, jump, wall-run, and rail grind your way through the years!
- Master Fox's signature attack moves - the Air Sweep, a weak, yet fast and more evasive approach, or the Fox Trot, a powerful combo attack that serves as the slower yet higher damage option.

- Over 100 different characters, enemies, and bosses all with wacky personalities brought to life through hand animation.
- Hundreds of references and homages to fashion, pop culture, leisurely activities, and trends from all the decades of the 1900s, including parody enemies, voice clips, background items, and more! It's a celebration of fun!
- Fully hand drawn graphics and animation for everything in the game!

- Get fun (and sometimes helpful) commentary from Fox's buddies, Sloth and Raven, throughout your adventure. It's like you're always playing with friends! And if the abundance of voices aren't for you, you can just switch it off.
- All characters and enemies brought to life by talented voice actors!
- No gameplay is interrupted or broken up by dialogue scenes. All speaking is short, sweet, and happening while you play!
- A varied soundtrack representing loads of popular music styles from over the course of 100 years!
