Nice game! Good job!

Some pointers would be to make the pick up trigger box a bit larger. But if you were going for that type of balance its ok.

The ammo is very low. I takes a bit of fun part out of the game. Players really like to press that fire button.

Pretty simple entry. I found it a bit too easy to stay alive until I made it very hot. I enjoyed the effect used to show that. That was a really nice touch. Over all well put together solid entry

Developer

there were some glitches. Originally it was much harder, but from me fixing glitches it got easier.

Solid game feel with responsive, quick movement. I would have liked a larger pickup radius for the ammo crates as there were a couple times where I swear I ran through a crate and it didn't register. Overall great submission!

Developer

It was meant to be llarger. I would have made it larger, but it was working how it was meant to be for me, but later after export I noticed it, but it was too late.

Loved the ramp up! hard to see at higher heat levels tho! Perhaps red ammo should have been a different colour, but overall enjoyable! Good job!

Developer

I considered changing the color but decided to keep it red. But if I were to remake/update this game post voting I would change it.
