What if an obscure arcade game accidentally invented an entire genre and nobody noticed? Often described as a proto-Smash Bros, Outfoxies is a completely different take on the same basic blueprint, where items and environmental hazards are the only way to deal significant damage, and basic attacks are a stopgap measure at best. In that way, it's actually more of a 2D proto-Power Stone, but let's not split hairs. As an 1v1 arcade game, Outfoxies is much more focused on engaging mayhem and bizarre weapons than competitive balance, so you need to come in with the right expectations. That said, it's a tremendously fun game by basically any standard, and I highly recommend checking it out via the Usual Channels. Shout out to Lost Ark Games in Greensboro, NC for giving me a chance to play it on a real Astro City, that was a fun experience.
