    I came into this game with no expectations and I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It’s a charming adventure game with sometimes difficult puzzle solutions but never to the point of being infuriating. There are numerous mini games to enjoy if that’s your cup of tea. Speaking of which, one of the mini games involves making some chamomile tea to help you fall asleep.

It’s a charming adventure game with sometimes difficult puzzle solutions but never to the point of being infuriating. There are numerous mini games to enjoy if that’s your cup of tea. Speaking of which, one of the mini games involves making some chamomile tea to help you fall asleep. As far as the writing goes, It’s hilarious and quirky and you’ll quickly enjoy the time you spend with its characters. Additionally the music is relaxing and adds to the game’s easygoing nature. The game’s length also surprised me. For completionists like myself, it’ll take around 20 hours to do everything. There are just so many fun distractions to get sucked into. I highly recommend anyone interested in strange classic adventure games to give this game a try. It’s the hidden gem of the year for me given its basically nonexistent coverage. It truly deserves more attention and I hope I can convince even one person to give it a a shot.… Expand

    This game is fantastic and deserve more attention! The world is simple but really interesting and you want to find every secret and collect all things. This game is in general very charming and the characters are weird in a good way. I love the special humor that give the game a special touch. So if u like weird games is that perfect for you. Try a look, really it is this totally worth!

Especially the dream passages and the videos have a lot of charm and add variety to the game, as well as the different "storylines" of the characters.
    Super cute game, would totally recommend, especially if you want to relax and have a good time. Absolute 9/10    … Expand

    I love this game so much! If you enjoy retro point and click adventures you’ll love Tux and Fanny. The characters are so endearing, the music is wonderful, there are so many mini-games to try out, and I still haven’t finished it yet. I’m 10 hours in and it feels like there’s still a lot more to do. Highly recommend it!

    This game deserves so much love. Don't let the minimalistic graphics deter you. The weird semi dark humor had me rolling. The quests/puzzles were original enough to keep me entertained. This game is now in my top 5 favorite games of all time. Play it!

    So, so much has been poured into this, every tiny crack packed with details and extras. The sheer number of computer games to find and play, some dreadful, some pretty decent, is bewildering. Let alone the amount of art created for one-off throwaway gags. And perhaps most importantly, that created to illustrate the repeated goals to escape from creature’s bottom holes.

    Tux and Fanny may have slipped under your radar in 2021 — I’m begging you to right that wrong and play it in 2022. If you find the joy in small things and believe that big, crazy things can be found even in the most mundane places, Tux and Fanny is the title for you. For such a lighthearted game, there’s a lot of soul in it; you’ll soon find yourself devouring every last ludicrous discovery, sad to leave the duo when you’ve completed their journey. As far as I’m concerned, Tux and Fanny is my pick for gAmE oF tHe YeAr 2021, the simple, silly, slice of life stories shared between friends a wonderful experience worth having.

    This endearing adventure feels like a fever-dream Flash game you discovered in the 00s and could never find again.
