How does your game fit the theme?
Phoenix uses it internal fire to attack, but that drains him and he dies. But for phoenix death is only a beginning as it is resurrected from ashes.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code yes, asset are all from asset store or free assets from the internet

I don't understand what you mean by that. If it is the name? That is generated.
the graphics are insane, and the gameplay is quite enjoyable, good job!
Great game. had fun playing it. but at some point it started to get repetitive. Also there was no menue to close the game or adjust volume
very satisfiying gameplay with the unique and nice looking of graphics of the game.
and the little animals design are good
Thank you for playing:D
Thanks for submitting your game to be played in the stream! (waited a bit for you to come and then just played it near the end since this is my last stream this jam) You can see my reactions over in the vod down below (games are separated into chapters with yours being the fourteenth chapter)
Thank you so much for that... As I was saying, timezones hurt my brain and it turned out the Livestream was after midnight for me and I had 12h shift that day so I couldn't make it 😅.
Putting the reply also here, just for itch :D
Conclusion ->The game desperately needs better tutorial.
1)The bed buttons were visible at start, but I added last minute the cage and forgot to move the bed😅 and k/x are the same, it was interested for arrows users to use x and for wsad use k, but it wouldn't fit on the bed so.. yeah😅 Also you could jump(better for fighting the birds, but I didn't have room and the bed) 2)Attacks are not random, they are directly connected to the fire gage. So if you spam attack you will each time/life get the same lineup of attack. 3) All bird with flapping wings have 100% chance of heart drop, later some will drop harts that heal more than one live. Idea is bit brutal but: The Phoenix needs to eat hearts of birds to live longer. 4) Everyone had the fish problem 😅 5) Didn't even think of that escape text being essentially twice pixelated, good point.
Thanks again so much for playing. Seeing someone play it is extremely valuable for me!
phoenix is actually an ancient persian bird which made me rate this game even heighe
Thanks for playing :D
The graphics was all over the place but the gameplay was so damn satisfying. Good job.
Fire birb goes boom/10
Very weird game with original mechanics. I was a little confused with that to do at the beginning, never saw any difference between K and X for attacks, but it was fun. The art style was beautiful aswell as the vfx.
Nice job!!
Super fun play! Such a goofy aah little game. The visuals are great and super satisfying, although some quirks like animals hiding and not letting me progress to feeling that i hit someone and didn't. The audio also slaps! Great job!
Really fun game, I was surprised how long I was playing for. The visual style is really good and the attack effects are great if a bit over the top/
Animals hiding behind scenery was annoying, I thought I was done but there would be one hiding. It also took me awhile to figure out the extent of my attack range.
I love the animal designs, they were very cute. Love to see if you use them in another game some day. It was a lot of fun going to each different biome and finding new animals.
It was great to see the phoenix reunited with his family at the end
You actually finished it? Thank you so much for playing!!!
Yeah it's a fun game!
I think you made a typo in your description. Phoenix doesn't rise from the ashes, Phoenix rise from the NUKES.
(almost) Everything slaps! Graphics are well chosen, sound design is amazing and music really fits! I enjoyed how everything in close proximity just exploded and burst into fire ring. But sometimes animals which we need to nuke hides behind the scenery so it can be difficult to find them.
Otherwise you did a really good job!
Ok point taken. Maybe I will make sequel, where you will NUKE the city with the phoenix.
Thanks for playing
The pheonix is really explosion is really satisfying haha good job.
LOVED THE MECHANICS, the game its incredibely fun to play, gives me the same vibes as Uniteled Goose Gme, really chill and sometimes made me laugh, the pixel 3D art style its great, gives me that cartoony vibe but at the same type a retro vibe, Congratulations, keep it up!!!
Really thanks for these kind words! And thanks so much for playing.
Really cool game! The pixelated/cartoony graphics look really good and the music really matches the style. I was confused at first what I was supposed to do until I read the description and realized I was supposed to kill all of the enemies. It was kind of frustrating, though, that I got sent back to the first level after I died on the second. I wish I could have gotten a checkpoint so I didn't have to start from scratch. (Also would have liked if the escape key closed the game). Enjoyable game, though. I can tell a lot of work went into it!
nice
In each location there are 9 animals you need to eliminate. After that you can move on to the next location.(the purple wall dissolves)
Anyway, thanks so much for playing :D
I think this is the second game about Phoenix I have seen in this jam. Great job tho!
Yeah I have noticed the other one too.
Thank you for playing:D
One of the best games I've had a chance to check out! Good work, hope for further development
Thanks so much for these kind words :D and thanks for playing!
Well done! love this crazyness and dynamics!
Thanks :D Can't get any crazier than exploding phoenix killing animals xD.
