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

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
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)
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!
The graphics was all over the place but the gameplay was so damn satisfying. Good job.
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
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!
