About
Tire Boy is an upcoming open-world action adventure platformer video game by GameTeam6.
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. 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.
Key Features
- Dynamic Traversal and Platforming – Master momentum and timing with specialized tire upgrades—spike treads for icy paths, wide sand tires for riverbanks, and flower gliders for soaring across valleys. Navigate between towns and biomes while discovering shortcuts and secret passages.
- Whimsical Combat and Customization – Defend against bears, snails, wolves, and ducks using an eclectic arsenal of found objects. Wield everything from dried fish to saxophones, each with unique fighting styles and surprising powers that complement your rolling abilities.
- A World of Grand Proportions – Experience the island from Tire Boy’s unique perspective, where giant mushrooms become trampolines and ordinary slopes transform into thrilling rampways. Every location—from vibrant Flower Town to the busy docks of Port Town—towers magnificently above you.
- Colorful Cast of Characters – Race against Mallow the speedy bunny, help fish folk with peculiar requests, and return regularly to Nestwijk’s cozy nest to share treasures. Build bonds with the island’s quirky aquatic community while piecing together the broken radio transmitter.
