DEAD HEAT

HEAT IS FUEL

DEAD HEAT is a high-intensity 2D movement-shooter built around kinetic aggression, relentless speed, and breakcore chaos.

You run on heat. Every shot, dash, and brutal ground-slam keeps your engine burning. Stop fighting, and the facility's sub-zero climate will freeze you solid.

FEATURES

Aggressive Thermodynamic Loop: Your heat is both your lifeline and your ammunition. Stay aggressive to stay alive.

Kinetic Movement: Chain air-dashes, wall-bounces, and violent ground slams to shatter defenses and plunge through floorboards.

Meltdown & Escape: Destroy the central core and trigger a facility-wide breach. Scale the vertical shafts before liquid coolant swallows the complex.

Pure Geometry & Screen Shake: Minimalist visual design focused on instant hit readability and explosive impacts.

Original Breakcore Track: Tailored for chaotic, high-BPM kinetic combat.
