# FOXFIRE — Press Kit > Plain-text version of the FOXFIRE press kit for AI agents, scripts, and machine-readable consumers. Mirrors the content at https://getfoxfire.com/press/press-kit/. --- ## Tagline Full Thrust. Full Inertia. Full Auto. ## Three-sentence summary 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. ## One-paragraph summary 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. --- ## At a glance - Title: FOXFIRE - Studio: Tom & Ollie (Australia) - Genre: Survivor-like, roguelite, arcade shooter, space - Platform: PC via Steam (Windows 10 64-bit+) - Engine: Godot 4 (C# / .NET) - Input: Keyboard & mouse, controller - Status: In development — targeting Early Access in Q1 2027 - Run length: 18 minutes per Stage 1 run - Ship hulls: 5 - Stages: 5 planned - Weapons: 19 base, 19 evolutions - Wingmates: 7 planned (1 implemented) - Steam app ID: 4714090 - Steam page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4714090/FOXFIRE/ - Website: https://getfoxfire.com - Press contact: press@getfoxfire.com --- ## What makes FOXFIRE different | Distinctive | Description | |---|---| | Real thrust-and-inertia movement | Momentum-based dodging replaces the frictionless drift used by most survivor-likes. Military hull is the baseline; other four hulls explore different specialist control schemes. | | Five ship hulls with materially different feel | Not stat sliders — different toolkits. Military: baseline all-rounder. Freighter: heavy-mass workhorse, doubles as battering ram. Scout: light, twitchy mastery ship. ODEC: assisted omni-response with reverse thrust, no barrel roll. Crescent Moon: specialist ace, 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 dedicated escape window | FTL drive completes near end of run; 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. | --- ## Comparable games | Game | Similar because | Different because | |---|---|---| | Vampire Survivors | Auto-fire weapons, weapon evolutions, time-pressure runs | Frictionless movement; no skill ceiling on dodging | | Brotato | Build depth, weapon-passive synergies, per-run roster | No thrust physics; arena-based not exploration-based | | Cobalt Core | Space combat, indie roguelite | Turn-based not real-time; deck-builder not arsenal-builder | | Nova Drift | Thrust-based ship movement, evolving weapons | Single-screen arena; no run structure or stages | --- ## Quotes available for review use Pre-written, attributable to Tom & Ollie (FOXFIRE developers). Lift verbatim. > "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." > "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." > "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." --- ## Screenshots (direct URLs) - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-1.jpg — World Tear secret area - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-2.jpg — Gatling Gun evolution ceremony - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-3.jpg — Hangar / Basilisk preset selection - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-4.jpg — FTL initiated, swarms closing in - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-5.jpg — Beacon-chain storm with energy lances - https://getfoxfire.com/assets/gallery-6.jpg — Chain lightning evaporating spider swarm ## Trailer - YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bk94km6AjvU - Video ID: Bk94km6AjvU - Embed URL: https://www.youtube.com/embed/Bk94km6AjvU ## Logos & key art - Logo (transparent PNG): https://getfoxfire.com/assets/logo.png - Key art (PNG): https://getfoxfire.com/assets/key-art.png - Steam capsule (1200x630 PNG): https://getfoxfire.com/assets/og-capsule.png --- ## Studio Tom & Ollie are an Australian indie game studio.
