About the Game

In this open-world action-adventure platformer, you are Tire Boy!

Tire Boy is fast and nimble, leaping through lush environments, solving environmental puzzles, and taking on heroic battles—all while helping the locals, and uncovering his own past.

DYNAMIC TRAVERSAL AND PLATFORMING

Launch from air gusts, bounce off giant mushrooms, and roll down ramps to reach new heights. Master momentum and timing to access seemingly impossible locations as you navigate between towns and biomes, discovering shortcuts and secret passages along the way.

WHIMSICAL COMBAT

Defend yourself against bears, snails, wolves, and ducks using an eclectic arsenal of found objects. Wield everything from dried fish to saxophones, with each weapon offering its own fighting style. Some are purely for show, while others hold surprising powers that complement your rolling abilities.

ABILITIES AND UPGRADES

Adapt to different terrains with specialized tire upgrades—spike treads for icy paths in the winter biome, a wide sand tire for riverbanks, and more. Earn a flower glider early in your journey, allowing you to soar across valleys and discover hidden areas. Some upgrades just change your look—others transform how you interact with the world around you.

COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE

Discover dozens of unique weapons and items throughout your journey across towns and biomes. Complete side quests to earn special gear that reflects your personal playstyle. Your choices create a Tire Boy that's uniquely yours.

A WORLD OF GRAND PROPORTIONS

Experience the island from Tire Boy's unique perspective, where everything towers above you in magnificent scale. Giant mushrooms become trampolines and ordinary slopes transform into thrilling rampways. The landscape is full of natural wonders and hidden treasures waiting to be discovered by those who venture off the beaten path.

EXPLORE A DIVERSE, LIVING WORLD

Roll through a rich tapestry of environments, from the vibrant petals of Flower Town to the busy docks of Port Town, and the spore-filled streets of Mushroom Town. Brave the snow-covered hills of the winter biome, navigate through dense forests, and discover countless ponds, lakes, and winding rivers that connect this charming world. Each location has its own character, challenges, and secrets to uncover.

COLORFUL CAST OF CHARACTERS

Race against Mallow, the speedy bunny, in timed trials scattered throughout the island. Listen to the three gossiping birds for tips on new adventures. Help fish folk with their peculiar requests—from finding a perfect sourdough loaf to retrieving lost treasures from the depths of the lakes.

BUILD BONDS WITH THE LOCALS

Befriend the island's fish people, a community of quirky aquatic folk with personalities as colorful as their scales. At the center of it all is Beacon, the devoted radio operator whose broken transmitter becomes your primary mission. Return regularly to Nestwijk's cozy nest to share treasures you've found, decorating his home as a testament to your adventures together.

A RADIO FREQUENCY AWAY FROM HOME

Piece together the scattered components of the island's radio transmitter in your quest to reach out beyond the horizon. Each recovered part brings you closer to understanding your past and perhaps discovering if there are other Tire Folk somewhere in the world.

THE STORY OF TIRE BOY

Tire Boy may be the last of his kind, and was lost as a child. At the start of the game, we learn he was found and raised by a large owl named Nestwijk and doesn't know much about his family or ancestors.

It's a story about connection and curiosity, as Tire Boy journeys through a vast, unfamiliar world, searching for purpose and traces of his forgotten origins. Tire Boy is weird, heartfelt, and full of little surprises—and we've built it to feel like a place you'll want to come back to, whether you're chasing big moments or just soaking in the quiet ones.
