Pitches at three lengths
Lift any of these verbatim. They are written to be quoted directly without rewrites.
Full Thrust. Full Inertia. Full Auto.
FOXFIRE is a top-down space recon survivor-like with real thrust physics, evolving weapons, and 18-minute roguelite runs. Five distinct ship hulls share the same controls but have materially different feel, from the Military baseline to the specialist Crescent Moon. Built for survivor-like fans who liked Brotato's build depth and want a higher movement ceiling.
FOXFIRE is a top-down space recon survivor-like by Australian indie studio Tom & Ollie. Players choose from five distinct ship hulls — Military, Freighter, ODEC, Scout, and Crescent Moon — and assemble auto-fire arsenals from 19 base weapons and 19 hidden evolutions across 18-minute roguelite runs. The differentiator is movement: thrust and inertia replace the frictionless drift of most survivor-likes, with the Military as a baseline all-rounder and the other four hulls offering distinct specialist toolkits. Targeting Early Access on Steam in Q1 2027.
What makes FOXFIRE different
- Real thrust-and-inertia movement. Momentum-based dodging replaces the frictionless drift used by most survivor-likes. The Military hull is the baseline; the other four hulls explore different specialist control schemes.
- Five ship hulls with materially different feel. Not stat sliders — different toolkits. The Military is the baseline all-rounder. The Freighter is a heavy-mass workhorse that doubles as a battering ram. The Scout is the light, twitchy mastery ship. The ODEC has assisted omni-response with reverse thrust and no barrel roll. The Crescent Moon is the specialist ace with fused A/D thrust.
- Auto-fire arsenal with hidden evolutions. 19 base weapons and 19 evolutions unlocked by maxing a weapon and pairing it with the right passive.
- 18-minute roguelite runs with a dedicated escape window. The FTL drive completes near the end of the run; the final 100 seconds are a tense countdown to escape, replacing the usual final-boss beat.
- Hand-drawn alien art at 32px density. CRT-terminal HUD aesthetic; tactical readability prioritised over visual noise.
Quotes available for review use
Pre-written, attributable, lift-ready. Substitute Tom or Ollie as appropriate; either developer stands by all three.
"Most survivor-likes treat movement as friction to remove. We treat it as the system. FOXFIRE is the version of the genre for players who want momentum to matter."— Tom & Ollie, FOXFIRE developers
"There are 19 base weapons and 19 hidden evolutions. Every run is a different question about which two of those you happen to draw together."— Tom & Ollie, FOXFIRE developers
"Five hulls. Same controls, materially different feel. Military for the on-ramp; Freighter, Scout, ODEC, and Crescent Moon for players who want to pick a specialist instead of a default."— Tom & Ollie, FOXFIRE developers
