About This Game:

Fenix is a 3D platformer that brings back the charm of classic 90's exploration-focused games, reimagined with modern mechanics in an open-ended world. 

Play as Fenix the Fox and explore a vibrant forest level filled with secrets, characters, and challenges.  With a focus on freedom and discovery, players can choose their own path through a non-linear world packed with hidden areas and unique landmarks.  With smooth, responsive movement including combinations of jumping, sprinting, and rolling, and a fully controllable 360° camera, every moment will feel fluid and satisfying as you traverse the terrain and uncover everything the world has to offer.

Along your journey, encounter unique NPCs, complete quests like the “Lost Slimes, or "The Ships Crow Nest” and defend yourself using claw and tail attacks against enemies.  Dynamic animations, immersive environments, and unforgettable moments help bring the world of Fenix to life.  With a full save/load system, a background music playlist, and ongoing updates including new content, features, and polish, Fenix delivers a nostalgic yet modern platforming experience.

Your goal is to collect 147 gems scattered across the environment, reaching up to 1000 total points for full completion.  Along the way, you’ll encounter characters, complete quests, and uncover the beginnings of a larger story.

“A massive open-world 3D platformer with free exploration, inspired by Spyro, Banjo-Kazooie, and Gex.”
