Beat the Heat

Overview

Beat the Heat unfolds through a four-phase turn system - explore, collect, prevent, and adapt - giving players a clear strategic rhythm where every choice will define the shape and future of each biome.

Gameplay Phases

• Explore the terrain each turn to uncover threats and opportunities across each biome.
• Collect resources to sustain your strategy.
• Prevent - Reinforce biomes, reduce risks, and prepare for incoming climate pressures.
• Adapt your strategy to shifting conditions and keep the ecosystem balanced and resilient.

Community Dynamics

The community reacts to every choice you make. Protect the ecosystem and they'll stand behind you; push it into danger and they'll warn you before things spiral. Your decisions shape not only the map, but also how the community guides you through changing climate conditions. Ignore their voices and you may lose precious resources - but listen closely, and you'll uncover new paths to resilience.

Climate Challenges

Climate seasons reshape the entire map - from harsh droughts to sudden floods. Prepare your tiles and reinforce your biomes to endure these shifting conditions, each one challenging your strategy in new ways. Every climate swing is a reminder that adaptation isn't optional; it's the only way to survive.
