Heatwave

Made during Global Game Jam 2017 we took the term 'wave' and tried to avoid the typical interpretation by going with 'Heatwave'

The idea started out with ants... but through discussion morphed into an ice cube that is melting. From there it was pretty simple
I made the character and his animation, the controller and some hazards for him to avoid, then I made him melt and marked areas using simple boxes as shadow that would replenish him

I created the items for the hazards (mop, bucket, water particles etc) and found some free assets for other things, but I spent a few bucks on the motel area itself to finish up the entire level

Our musician  made some music and I did some sound effects, along with the intro video and that was it, a very fun ride when it happened back in 2017, this was the video presentation of the game:

NOTE: You need a controller for the current version, I will update shortly with keyboard controls, so it is a bit more accessible
