Finnigan Fox running on Amico with contemporary style graphics
Style is in the eye of the beholder. I still enjoy pixel styling in games but it feels harsh to suggest the Amico version looks bad. The Amico game is a sequel to Fox n Forests and is being made by Bonus Level Development, the maker of the original game.

It's hard to tell; there is only a couple of brief glimpses of the controller at the start of the vid. The Amico controller can be held (orientated) as the user chooses, with the controls updating accordingly. At the start of the vid we see Tommy holding the controller horizontally with the directional disc on the right; as the gameplay starts he has turned the controller around with the directional disc on the left. It appears that he may be tapping part of the touch screen to jump but it is difficult to see. The directional disc is pressure sensitive so that could be a jump option; and the touch screen and/or main buttons may be jump options, too. There are a lot of possibilities with the controller.
