Hot and Cold
A fast-paced endless runner where you jump and switch your temperature to survive. How far can you run?
How to play:
Left Shift to switch between HOT and COLD. Right Shift to jump. Avoid touching HOT when you're COLD and vice versa.
This is a mobile game with a planned release on Android and IOS. The demo web version might lack features and polish. Keyboard only for the web demo.
This game is in pre-Alpha / work in progress. "Pre-Alpha" means the prototype is barely playable but might give an idea where the game is heading.
The original version was made for Flame Game Jam 3.

Nice concept, but it was impossible to get past single tile color switches. The jump speed and horizontal speed should have been designed to make the character cover at least 1 tile's width. The short distance travel was making it difficult to get past some sections.
There also seems to be a bug which I noticed while I was writing this comment. Somehow all tiles were red and that caused my score to go this high 😅
Thanks for reporting, bugfixes incoming post-jam. Switch temperature (color) by double tap, that gets you over any single tile.
