Fix-It Felix Jr. is a faithfully recreated arcade action game for the Sega Genesis, originally conceptualised as the fictional 1980s retro title in Disney’s Wreck-It Ralph. You play as the titular handyman, scaling the Niceland apartment building to repair shattered windows while dodging hazards. As a pitch-perfect homage to classic single-screen arcade games, it offers authentic 16-bit graphics, catchy chiptunes, and addictive score-chasing gameplay.
How to play
Your goal is to fully repair every broken window on the screen before the timer runs out to advance to the next level. Use the D-pad (Arrow keys) to move Felix between window ledges, press the jump button (Z) to avoid obstacles, and use the action button (X) to swing your magical hammer and fix panes. Watch out for the bricks thrown down by Wreck-It Ralph and the ducks that occasionally fly horizontally across the screen.
Tips
- Keep moving horizontally: Ralph anticipates your upward movement, so frequently shifting left or right between floors helps you dodge his falling bricks.
- Grab the pies: The pies left on windowsills by the residents grant you a temporary invincibility period, allowing you to rapidly clear difficult sections and ignore hazards.
- Fix outer windows first: Prioritise the outermost windows early. Leaving them for last can easily trap you in a corner when a flock of ducks flies by or Ralph drops a barrage of bricks.
