Fenix Rage mechanics are unique yet simple – infinite jump and dash paired with instant restarts. Race through hundreds of increasingly difficult levels, with new mechanics like fire, ice and jump portals. Each level has a split-second of opportunity for passage through the hordes of unrelenting enemies; either approach the obstacles through trial and error or pause to mentally traverse the level and plan for an optimal route. Try to top the leaderboards while listening to slick retro-inspired music and dashing through fantastic environments.
Key Features
- Over 200 Levels: Each with varying enemies and obstacles to overcome, as well as cookies to collect! (Milk not included)
- Nine Worlds: Varied and vastly unique worlds to traverse and conquer, each with their own unique challenges including hard-as-nails boss fights.

Conceptually, the game is almost there. Levels look great, racing the clock is fun, grabbing the cookies is whatever. But the movement sucks. That's the problem with platformers like this where the mobs only move on a singular axis instead of giving chase. It's so rigid feeling. There is nothing organic feeling about it. The routes are all preset basically. Also, if you die via an enemy, the level doesn't reset. If you hit the death reset key (or button on your controller), the enemies reset to their default positions. The character moves way too slow without the dash, the "infinity" job feels slow and uninspired. It's fun if you wanna kill an hour or two, but I can't recommend it, even to people who enjoy super hard platformers. The movement and controls just aren't there.
This is a great platforming game with harmless digital cookies.
This game takes everything good about super meat boy and makes it worse. You'd think being able to infinite jump would be nice. It's not. You're constantly pressing jump over 100+ times per level. Each level is a test solely on your patience and your timing. Skill does not factor into this game. If you could slow this game down to 50% every single level would be beyond easy.
I remember playing the original game Fenix Box on my phone it was a really fun experience, i got pretty far in it, dont remember exactly though. Finding out that they made a second game was really cool I got it right away. I'm stuck in the last area in this game, but I'm not frustrated. I'm actually having alot of fun.
I don't feel like comparing this game to Super Meat Boy is fair. I'm not gonna lie SMB was objectively better but if you only look at this game looking for the exact SMB experience, you're not gonna fully get it.
I read several reviews comparing Fenix Rage favorably to Super Meat Boy, Electronic Super Joy and VVVVVV, which are all games that I love. So I tried Fenix Rage and did not enjoy the experience at all. This game is just trying to induce RSI and carpal tunnel syndrome.
I've played less than an hour of this game and I think I'm done. I love the artwork, music and concept. The levels follow a certain rythm that really allows you to blast through them once you sync up with the game. What bothers me is that while you can control your movement speed up, left, righ (infinite jump and dash) you don't have a way to control your falls. The majority of all my deaths in the game comes from the slow fall offsetting the entire mechanics of the game.
Would have pushed through this fault if it wasn't making the first boss unbeatable (with the "cookie") because it takes five hours to fall through his vertical maze.
In short it's like Super Meat Boy as Flappy Bird in a Sonic costume
- story, level select, level design and cool rock-heavy music are like Super Meat Boy
- movement is like Flappy Bird with infinite dash
- difficulty is much easier than Super Meat Boy, but it's challenging to beat the level's "best time"
- hidden secrets to be found
Awesome! I enjoy it a lot!
Fenix Rage is a cool game. I like the style and the super fast respawning aspect. However, the game was too hard for me. I have died too many times in the early stages that i felt should not be this hard. I'm recommending this game based on me doubting my skills and thinking that other players probably prefer harder games than I do. TLDR; cool and hard indie platformer game.
This is more a mixed review than a negative one.
I purchased Fenix Rage because the experience seemed similar to Super Meat Boy, but two factors have depleted my motivation to continue. (I'm currently in the middle of World 5.)
There is a distinct lack of enemy variety. Predominantly, all you'll see are enemies that move back and forth in a straight line, or that jump in place, which is nearly the same thing. It isn't until you've completed around 80 levels that you'll see enemies with different movement patterns, and by that point I had already grown tired of the level design. Even many of those later levels apparently focus on the straight-line enemies.
Similarly, maneuvering Fenix often involves no more than button-mashing to take a straight line through openings in between the aforementioned enemies. In most cases, you'll either mash the jump button to ascend, or the dash button to move sideways. There are no precise wall kicks or nuanced, curved jumps, and Fenix's vertical speed feels rather slow. The idea of infinite jumps and air dashes sounded exciting, but ended up being more simplistic and repetitive than I expected.
If neither point fazes you, and you seek another precision platformer, I'd say there's a good chance you'll enjoy this, even if it didn't quite meet my personal expectations. Otherwise, perhaps you'd be better off with another entry in the genre.
Great game. Very frustrating and fun. Would be so much better if you can change the controls to make the game easier but I guess that's part of game I think.
Fenix Rage is an excellent purchase for fans of hardcore platformers. If you like Super Meat Boy, IWBTG, Electronic Super Joy, or VVVVVV then you will no doubt enjoy this game. The challenge-level is equivalent to SMB, however Fenix Rage presents enough new tricks and challenges to make this a unique game.
As Fenix, you have an infinite number of air-jumps and air-dashes at your disposal for manuevering past enemies and traps. The goal of all 200 levels is to simply reach the blue-block at the end. Clever level design from beginning to end ensures that even seasoned platformer fans can expect a satisfyingly twitchy 9+ hours of gameplay to 100% the game.
Though similar to super meat boy in many aspects, it is really different gameplay wise. Super meat boy lovers will probably love fenix rage as well.
As challenging as it gets, the awesome soundtrack and well design difficulty curve will keep you going.
The IL leaderboards are extremely fun to climb, it adds a lot of replay value.
Content wise, the game doesn't lack. In each level there are 3 stars and one cookie to collect. This adds up to lots of runs per level (and deaths).
I hope this game gets the attention it deserves.
Fenix Rage is a fantastic platformer that's similar to (and very much inspired by) Super Meat Boy. While Super Meat Boy has momentum-based movement, Fenix Rage controls more like Donkey Kong Country (in that you stop moving immediately when you let go of the analog stick. Side Note: I prefer movement like this, but that's just personal preference). What's unique about Fenix Rage is that the main character has infinite jumps and dashes that you can use whenever you want.
"But wait!", you say. "Doesn't that ruin the game?"
Not at all. The levels are designed around this over-powered movement style. In fact, you will die - a lot. That's okay, though because the respwan is *instant* (which is FANTASTIC). It feels less like you're dying repeatedly and more like you're just learning the level and playing it until you beat it. The levels are actually not *that* difficult (I found myself flying through level after level), but an optional cookie that you can get in each level ups the challenge dramatically. I found getting the cookies super-rewarding and loved the added gameplay this provided.
The art is charming and unique, the soundtrack rocks and is fun to listen to and the level design is great. The difficulty ramps up so gradually that near the end of the game you're doing straight-up ridiculous maneuvers to stay alive, but it never feels overwhelming. With over 200 levels - including arcade mode and secret warp zone levels - there's a lot of game here.
Everything is not rainbows and unicorns, however. Some levels have enemies moving really fast in tight, confined spaces. Getting past these types of enemies felt more like luck than skill. The same goes for dashing through tiny 'one-block-high' holes in walls - that *always* felt like luck to me. Also, the little green squares (the main enemies in the game) are used *a lot*. Like, "bordering-on-too-much a lot". I honestly think they're used too much. I would have liked to have seen more variety in the gameplay. Different types of enemies, more patterns to evade and so on. With four Light worlds, four Dark worlds, a secret ninth world and warp zones there are a LOT of levels here. There's no reason to have a single mechanic (the dodging of square enemies) be used SO much. There are other mechanics in the game, though (I don't want to make it seem like that's all the game is). The variety of gameplay is good, but I would have liked to have seen more.
TL;DR : Fenix Rage is a fast, frantic precision platformer that's a lot of fun. The controls feel fantastic. The level design is great except for a few places that feel 'cheap' (depending more on luck than skill). With tons of levels (over 200), exciting boss battles and lots of optional objectives, it's a game that you'll be playing for a while. An excellent game by Green Lava Studios and I look forward to whatever they're working on next. :)
Final Verdict: 8.5 out of 10
This is one of the most fun games I've played in a long time and by far the toughest. I just finished the game and I put in about 9 hours into it. If you did not like Super Meat Boy you probably will not enjoy this game though. Fenix Rage has simple controls, great handling, lots of collectables that actually make you want to pick them up, and is just a blast to play. If you are looking for a challenge I definitely recommend this game. I want to make this clear. This is not a Super Meat Boy clone. It is it's own game and has it's own individual feel. It is well worth the price tag and once again I can't recommend this game enough.
Amazing game if you enjoy platformers! I wasnt even that fond of Super Meatboy, but I found this game very attractive and challenging. The main character looks really cool, too. Reminds me of some of the older SNES character designs. Definitely worth the $$$. You will find yourself playing 'just one more level' far after you've wanted to stop.
Really good game, really challenging, soundtrack is amazing. Once you start playing, you just can't stop. Adictive, fast pace, and hard. Reccomended for all the plate-forming lovers out there that are searching for something a bit more though. Good job on the game, when does fenix rage 2 come out?
I played Fenix Rage for a few hours last night and had a great time. The response to the controls felt really good, and I could command great control of the character. The game starts out leading you to believe "okay, this isn't going to be THAT hard...." ..... but after only a few levels in, you realize what you are in for. Flying chaos involving jumping, dashing, fire, and ice.
I keep seeing reviews comparing this to Super Meat Boy, which I have also played. I liked SMB as well, but this game does have an altogether different feel to it, which I like. I have a few hours in and have barely scratched the surface and look forward to playing more!
Oh, and one more thing. The music is pretty ridiculously awesome as well.
Fenix Rage brings back the fun of classic hardcore platformer action. It's mainly inspired by Super Meat Boy and most levels really have the same difficulty as you had in Super Meat Boy. If you are an old-skool gamer like me you will have lots of fun with this challenging game. Instead of raging I'm mostly smiling. Why? Because hardcore platformers almost aren't produced (anymore). Super Meat Boy has been a while back now, and after completing that it was really time for some new hardcore platformer to make me frustrated and give me a real challenge.
The game has over 200 levels, each as frustrating as any and each level can be played in 3 different modes: normal, challenge and godmode. I am yet to figure out what godmode is, as I haven't unlocked that yet. Normal let's you play through the levels, well.. "normally", while challenge gives you even more of a challenge by limiting the dashes and jumps you can make per level. Besides that there's also one cookie in every level to collect to unlock (real-life!) recipes and there's hidden "red cubes" which you can collect to unlock a bonus world with hidden levels that give you even more of a challenge.
There's 4 different themed worlds, each with their own unique (challenging and frustrating!) boss and after you beat the last one you unlock another 4 new themed worlds, which are inspired on the levels from the first 4 worlds, again with entirely new unique bosses. You could see the other 4 worlds as the "dark world" from Super Meat Boy, so to speak.
The last 4 worlds will definitely give you the real challenge, and I've spent a couple of hours already trying to beat these. I am currently at 8 hours of playtime and only in world 5, so the game will give you atleast 20-25 hours of unique playtime, so it's really worth the money!
After you beat everything you can collect yellow stars, by completing each level within the timelimit that the developers set for each level. These yellow stars can be spent in the "arcade shop" where you can buy about 10 unique minigames and where you can try to get into the highscores, which are shared online through Steam. The best times of each level can also be seen on online leaderboards. Then there's also a lot of achievements to collect, including hidden ones, so this will surely keep you busy for a while! :)
The graphics are also unique and stylish and the soundtrack is sweet and gets you pumped, although perhaps they could have used more varying tracks for different worlds.
I would give this game a 9/10. I would say regularly update the game with new levels or perhaps add a level editor with the ability to share your levels and worlds online to make this a perfect game. I would also love to see more of the "Fenix Box" levels, which look very classic (I believe from early in-dev times).
Other than that, retro hardcore platformer, surely recommended, especially for this price! Developers are also very nicely in touch with the community and are actively listening to your feedback. :)
Fenix Rage is clearly influenced by Super Meat Boy. Different from SMB is the ability to dash, providing the gamer a reward of finishing a level more quickly at the risk of not having as much control over Fenix. The gameplay is flawless. It is truly the gamer's fault for dying -- which you will, a lot -- and not the game getting in the way of itself.
The only negative thing I can say about this game is that my hand became tired while playing the first boss level as I was frantically trying to dash and jump my way through the level. At the time of this review I have played through the entire first world obtaining all the cookies in those first 20 levels.
I would consider this a must play if you enjoy the highly difficult yet satisfying platforming games.
I have played all kind of games through my life, hard games, impossible games, boring games, easy games, fun games.
Fenix Rage is A GREAT GAME, The music makes you go back to when you play your first game, the art style is very fluid, colorful, I love colorful games, no more grey scale games please! And to top it all, the gameplay is simple yet at the same the time the risk/reward balance is almost perfect.
If you liked super meat boy or just want to challenge your fingers to a good game.
BUY THIS GAME :D
