Tired of his 9-5, Hothead decided to go into the wilderness for a relaxing retreat. No boss, no paperwork, no worries. Help Hothead release his frustration in Hothead needs to chill out!

Hothead is our first game and a huge learning experience for us. Most importantly it was a heck of a lot of fun to make! We'd love to hear all your feedback and thoughts.

We hope you enjoy our game!

Features

  • Local Leaderboard
  • Calming classical soundtrack
  • Ball dodging, Ball busting action!

How To Play

Objective - Hothead will periodically lose his cool and launch magma balls from his head. You'll need to dodge the magma balls to stay alive. If you are hit too many times and run out of lives the game is over.

Breaking Balls - If you manage to hit a magma ball with one that was just launched from Hothead it'll break the ball it comes into contact with.

Extra Lives - When a magma ball breaks it has a chance to drop a water bottle, which provides Hothead with an extra life. This chance decreases as time progresses.

We've since moved on from the project and are working on new games. However, we're certainly interested in revisiting Hothead, especially to fix bugs or consider any feature requests.
