Dafox Walkthrough [Guide]

Dafox, at first glance, looks like something torn out of a fairy tale book, complete with princesses and anthropomorphic animals. That’s just the half of it, however. Players take control of the eponymous fox as he (or she) tries to get back the treasure stolen from his (or her) family. There are lots of perils like octopi, thorny branches, and others ahead, but with some quick reflexes and proper timing – as well as some helpful powerups along the way – you will definitely be able to have a much easier time navigating this picturesque world .

Gameplay
Dafox is a platforming game where in players must jump and dropkick their way across one end of the level to another. Along the way, there are various enemies and obstacles like ledges and thorny floors that will prematurely end your run. Players must carefully time their moves in order to avoid having their character, which has very limited health, get damaged. There are also powerups that can be picked up which provide a variety of benefits. These, along with your fast reflexes, will be of great health for you to succeed in this game.

Controls
Controls within Dafox are simplicity themselves. There are dedicated buttons at the left and right buttons for jumping and ducking, respectively. Jumping is necessary to avoid lower obstacles, while ducking is used to avoid higher ones. The latter move can also be used to dispatch of enemies as an offensive move. Players can combine jumping and ducking as well as gauge the strengths of these actions depending on how long you press on the dedicated button.

Coins
Coins are the game’s main currency. Coins can be collected along the stages, so players can replay levels and farm for as long as they want. Unlike other games, additional coins are not available via in-app purchases. Thus, the only way to get more coins is to keep playing. Coins are used to purchase powerups that will help you within the game.

Powerups
There are different powerups available within the game, and all of these work towards giving you a helping hand especially in the tougher stages of the game. Some powerups will provide you with extra health while others will negate the damage dealt. Some powerups, on the other hand, will be more offense based, and can also help you navigate through pits and open waters. Perhaps the most useful powerup is the Slow, which slows down time for you and can be very helpful when there are a lot of obstacles and enemies around.

Powerups may be purchased using real money or coins, and they can also be upgraded so that they could either appear more often or become more potent. By upgrading Slow powerups, it’s effects will last for much longer. Upgrade powerups so that you will be able to get the most out of them.

Game Modes
Dafox has two game modes available, namely Story Mode and Survival Mode. Story Mode has players going through different levels with a treasure at the end, and they can only move forward once the current stage has been completed. On the other hand, Survival Mode only has one level but is endless, which means that your character will continue to run for as long as he/she has enough health. Aside from coins collected, players must race for the longest time and for the longest length. Both modes are great ways to get additional coins to make those all important powerup purchases and upgrades.

Tips and Tricks
It’s not really important to use real money to buy those powerups. Grinding for this resource can be really quick either in Story or Survival Mode. This also has the added benefit of honing your skills which would be very important in those tougher areas.

Sometimes, the controls can also be a little glitchy. Controls won’t respond as quickly as you want, so make it a point to press that jump button maybe a half a second earlier and just use the dash button to extend your jump as needed. Being able to use the two moves available to you can be really helpful as some obstacles would require you to use this strategy in order to avoid getting damaged.

Lastly, don’t get distracted by your environment. Keep your eyes on your characters as well as the obstacles ahead. By focusing completely on what’s in front of you, you can react much faster and go for longer without getting hurt.
