KID PHOENIX is a funny platforming game about a kid phoenix born in a water temple. Get him outta there!


Product of a one-week game jam, with the goal of making a platformer that just feels dang nice to play.

(we ended up working on it for a month)


We're working on a longer version of this so stay tuned maybe???


UPDATE JULY 11th 2024:

The demo's been patched according to your great feedback. We read and appreciate every comment (even yours) so keep them coming!


Also, the soundtrack is out now on Bandcamp and Soundcloud!!!


Patch 1.1

  • Dropping and diving from walls included
  • Adjusted the player's collider
  • Some general bugfixing

i love this!

Seems fun, and I like that there is a timer to give a sense of urgency. Although there are a couple issues with the controls. Wall Jumping sometime doesn't work, It looks like the character is trying to jump but doesn't, also the jump forward distance seems mostly uncontrolable for small jumps, It launches me way past where I'm trying to jump to, also when falling, it wont let me stay center, making me stick to the walls and slowing my fall so the timer runs out and I have to restart.

the games fun and i think the birds cute

works pretty well, i think. the platforming feels tight, though it feels a bit simple. the music is good.

Hop and Bob demo. Graphics use pixel art to make it as retro as possible. The controls could be tighter especially when it comes to jumping. Adding more checkpoints would be helpful.
