On my last post, I gave my thoughts on Wreck-It Ralph. Now it’s time to look at another great part of this movie: Fix-It Felix Jr. Disney released a full version of the game that stars Wreck-It Ralph. It’s free to play in your browser too!
To promote the game, Disney even released a few arcade cabinet versions of the game as well. I was able to check it out at the Classic Gaming Expo, and it was really cool how Disney made it look and feel like a classic arcade game. They even created a fake developer, Tobikomi and slapped the logo onto the side of the cabinet. Translated, it means to “jump, plunge, or dive.”
Not only that, but they put out a commercial for the game, and it looks like it came straight from the 80’s.
In the game, you play as Fix-It Felix Jr, who must repair all the apartment windows while avoiding Wreck It Ralph smashing bricks on top of you and ducks flying by. The citizens who live in the building give you pies as a power up. It’s a really simple game and gets repetitive, but it is a great throwback to the classic arcade games. And hey, it is free to play, so no complaints here.
Disney really went all out with Wreck-It Ralph and Fix-It Felix Jr. It’s a great throwback to the classic arcades and I highly recommend fans of classic gaming to check out both the movie and the tie-in game. Enjoy!
