This game is an absolute mood-booster and an incredible endorphin-pumping experience! Controlling the feisty little Flea Flix is incredibly satisfying, and the dynamic gameplay is captivating from the very first second. The colorful visuals, wacky levels, and brilliant soundtrack will keep you laughing throughout the entire session. Fast and frantic action – the perfect balance between challenge and pure...

Flix The Flea, developed and published by Psychotic Psoftware, is a tightly focused precision platformer that embraces the design philosophy of early arcade-era games. Rather than layering on modern mechanics or expansive systems, it builds its entire experience around a single core idea: mastering the physics of jumping. Inspired by classic titles from the early 1980s, it deliberately strips platforming down to its...

So you jump a lot. Until you get the hang of how much jump to appy you miss 99% of the time. Pro: Steam cards Great for little kids In bundles Once you get the hang of it, it's fairly easy Con: No steam overlay - had to bypass to get screen shots Was actually a 1983 game. Not sure if this is a rip-off or a remake $3.29 (CDN) LOL Not much to this game Overall: 5/10 -1 price -1 "remake" -1 not much to it +1 kid...

Flix the Flea is a two button platformer where we play as some kind of mutant flea that snuck on-board into a space shuttle and is brought to space. If you were to skip the opening you would have no way of knowing you are in space as there are pterodactyls, bats and even trees. Granted it does take place in caves but why mention we are in space then? Nothing really makes sense which is not a bad thing but you see all...

The game is very simple to play, just jump high until you reach the top(finish line), thou it's a challenging game because you'll surely miss to reach a destination and fell down and there are also enemy you'll need to avoid, you'll be given a limited lives. Still can't find it fun to play it. The Flea looks more like a frog.

I got this game for free and I can't be happier. If I had paid for this pile of excrement I would have hated myself. Do NOT waste your time on this game. The controls are terrible, the story is non-existant, there are absolutely no options to change resolution, volume levels, or controls, and it looks like something that should be on a flash games website. GTFO of here with this garbage.

After trying it for a while, I won't recommend this game to anyone. The game itself is very outdated and the gameplay isn't really user friendly either. You play as a flea and launch yourself with the arrow keys and try to reach a goal (usually at the top) in every stage. Maybe because this is such an old game, its not really fun at all. The premise is funny, but thats about it

Блоха по имени Фликс - адский ретро-трэшак. Как признается сам разработчик, игра сия была сделана под вдохновением (читай идея была сперта с...) старой испанской игры Bugaboo сделанной изначально под ZX Spectrum в ветхом 1983 году, и портированной на многие платформы тех времен. Игра сия стала очень известной в Испании, чуть менее по миру (хотя в русскоязычной среде фиг кто о ней слышал). Кто хочет ужаснуться может...

The recommended operating system is Windows Vista... that alone should be a hint of the quality of game you're buying. It launches in an 800x600 window that you can't resize - no option for fullscreen either (or options for anything whatsoever). More importantly, though, the core mechanic of the game is absolutely terrible and makes this borderline unplayable. You hold the left/right arrow keys and let go to jump...

I feel bad giving this a thumbs down because there is a fair bit I liked about the game. While the art and sounds are simple, they reminded me a lot of the kind of Game Maker and Xbox Live Indie games that you'd see a lot of in the early/mid 2000's and it felt a lot more sincere and charming than the Unity Asset flips you see at the lower tiers of steam nowadays. The character himself is very cute and I loved both...
