We are a small independent studio. We have spent the last 2 years developing Tropical Heat. We love old school arcade racing games, but we also like a little bit of the physics defying fun in games like SSX. Tropical Heat is all about building up power to jump into big air to perfom as many tricks as you can while still keeping an eye on winning the race. We hope that you enjoy playing the Tropical Heat demo with your friends! If you enjoy playing, please rate the game!

We made Tropical Heat, because we wanted to play a game that made us feel like we had left the real life rat race and escaped to remote tropical islands where we could bask in the sunshine and feel the rhythm of the ocean waves as we raced jet skis with our friends just for the pure joy of it. That's how we feel when we play Tropical Heat. We hope you feel the same way when you play!

  • Scores

    Tropical Heat is not just a race to the finish line. You're also competing to get the most points, the most tricks, and the biggest jumps. At the end of each race, you can see how well you scored.

  • Tricks

    Big jumps into the air allow you to do tricks. In Tropical Heat, there are two types of tricks. Tricks performed with a Jet Ski, like a flip, and tricks performed on a Jet Ski, like a hand stand. Get big enough air and you can do more than one trick or even trick combos, like flipping the Jet Ski while doing a handstand.

  • Diving

    Ramps are not the only way to get big jumps in Tropical Heat. Using power to boost your speed, you can dive under the water which causes you to jump back out of the water. The deeper you dive the higher your jump out of the water. Dive deep enough under big waves and you can even jump over the corner of an island.

There is a place where you configure the controller. Most controllers should work, and we tested with a wide variety including some wheels. Definitely any of the Logitech gamepads, as well as the XBox 360, as Red45 mentioned.

This is the most stress free game I have ever played if you set the music to relaxed, you can just totally get in the zone with this game I started losing track of time just going from level to level. Also there is one level called Night of fire it’s so cool it looks like burning man in the water, if you have the music set right it can be quit unsettling in a good way total drew me in, I can’t stop playing that level.

If you release a Linux version, not only would you make a lot of Linux gamers really happy, hint hint, but you would be ready to go on the upcoming Steam Box later this year!!
