Awesome game. Interesting idea for the story, addictive gameplay, wonderful music and simple yet adorable art. Think about putting it on Steam Greenlight - I know I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
One issue I have, it doesn't save progress on Chrome. Is it just me?
Reviews for "Phoenotopia"
I haven't finished the game yet, but it is a truly beautiful game. It's been years since I've been able to immerse myself in a game, and this game's protagonist is the opposite gender of me and still I manage to immerse myself.
The controls are smooth and easy to learn, music is perfect, artistically a masterpiece.
The only flaw I see is that there is no input delay after an NPC is done talking, leading to re-speaking to the villagers if you spam X like me.

That's a good idea. I may implement this in a future update. Thanks!
Great game, great music, great art. But I couldn't get into it because of the god awful controls, and the combat isn't very good either to be honest.
This is a really awesome game and well thought out. i love the giant world, but the controls are a bit weird and reactions are slow. i really want to play this more, but the second boss is impossible. i can barely avoid him and when i get him once, then it just becomes twice as difficult... I'll keep trying but i'm finding that these control issues really take way from this game :(
Other than that, its amazing and the story is great, art is really cool, and everything is really creative. thanks so much, this is the first major game ive seen in a while so ill keep at it :)

If you're still having trouble here are some tips: You can clear out his lava pools with a bomb. You can also whack his spitfire in the air to cancel it out (but that's a risky maneuver). To dodge his roll attack, try to roll under it as it's coming. Also helps if you have the hammer, since you'll do a lot more damage
2 hours in I think, and I really love this game! I'm gonna spread the word as much as I can.
