3''Fox n Forests'' is a PlatformGame by Bonus Level Entertainment and Level Arts.
4
5Rick is an anthropomorphic fox looking to make a meal out of a partridge named Patty. Patty tries to get out of it by saying she tastes bad, but then decides to bring him to the Season Tree, saying there'll be a reward in it for him if he agrees. The Season Tree informs Rick that some mysterious dark force is siphoning his power away from him, and he needs to restore it.
6
7Rick agrees... once he sees the magic crossbow he'll be wielding on his quest. With Rick armed, and granted with the power to change the seasons at will, his adventure to save the forest begins.

9The game was funded on Website/{{Kickstarter}} on August 13th, 2016. It was ultimately released on May 17th, 2018.

12!!''Fox n Forests'' contains examples of:
13* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: The levels of the game have names like these, such as '''R'''evolving '''R'''iver and '''G'''orgous '''G'''orge.
14* AmphibianAtLarge: The first boss of the game is the Furious Frog, which is a massive purple frog that attacks with its tongue, and by launching yellow globs at Rick in the second half of the fight.
15* AutomaticCrossbow: Rick can fire crossbow bolts one after the other in quick precision.
16* BattleBoomerang: The blue arrows gotten from the GiantSpider boss travel in an arc when fired, and then return to Rick.
17* BigCreepyCrawlies: Enemies in the game include insects about as big as Rick's head. Also giant ants[[spoiler: and the gigantic wasp queen]].
18* {{Checkpoint}}: Retro the badger fills this role in the game. Give him a set amount of coins, and he will activate the checkpoint.
19* CreepyCemetery: Foggy Fable is set in a desolate cemetery full of hostile ghosts and plant monsters, with a fog hanging over it that can only be dispelled when Rick switches to winter.
20* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Enemies tend to explode when defeated, and plenty of enemy types have their own unique animations for it.
21* DoubleJump: Rick can do this.
22* FloatingPlatforms: Can be summoned by shooting coloured arrows at similarly-coloured bullseyes.
23* FourSeasonsLevel: This game might was well be "This Trope: The Game". One prominent gameplay mechanic involves switching between seasons at will (provided you've enough magic to hold that season in place).
24* FoxFolk: Rick is an anthropomorphic fox.
25* GiantSpider: The boss of the autumn levels is a giant spider with buzzsaw blades on its pincers.
26* InexplicableTreasureChest: Purple and yellow ones.
27* LevelGoal: Patty sits on a see-saw at the end of each level, singing a song that replaces the level music when Rick's close. You have to launch her to complete the level.
28* PlantMooks: Some enemies in the game look like monsters made out of vines.
29* PsychoElectricEel: One of the {{Mook}} types in the game. They leap out of water and emit electricity for a few seconds before diving back in. They can be defeated by being made to drop onto frozen water.
30* SideView: The way the game is viewed.
31* SpreadShot: The green arrows are fired three at a time in a spreading shot.
32* TheTreesHaveFaces: The Season Tree has a mustachioed face on it.
33* UnexpectedShmupLevel: The second level of the Summer Season, Tricky Treetops, changes the game from a PlatformGame to a sideways-scrolling shooter level.
