Play Titus The Fox Online

Titus the Fox came out for the Game Boy in 1992, published by Titus Interactive. It was part of that wave of early 90s platformers that tried to do something a little different on the handheld. You don't see many games starring a fox, and this one had a specific look and feel that made it stand out from the Mario and Sonic clones.

You control Titus, a fox on a mission to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend. The game plays out screen by screen; you move from one static screen to the next, each one a self contained puzzle. Your main tools are jumping and picking up objects to throw at enemies. You collect keys to unlock doors and avoid hazards like spikes and enemy animals. The pacing is deliberate, more about figuring out the order of operations in each room than fast reflexes. It can be quite difficult, with some screens requiring precise jumps and timing. Playing it feels like working through a tricky, sometimes frustrating, but ultimately satisfying logic problem.
