Too Hot to Handle is an asynchronous multiplayer strategy game

The game takes place on the earth in the not so far future. Global warming has rapidly increased and is causing devastating fire storms during each summer. As the player your task is to build a rocket, to leave earth for a better future.

But choose your decisions wisely

When you start the game you will find the planet the way the player before you has left it. And when you leave the next player will have to play with what you left behind. Because the resources of the earth are limited you must find a way to achieve your goal while also enabling following players to sustain their civilizations.

How to play

Too Hot to Handle follows the principles of other city-building strategy games. Start by building a material fabrication which provides you with building material to construct other factories and buildings until you have collected enough rocket parts to assemble your rocket off the planet and win the game. But keep an eye on the seasons. During summer devastating firestorms rage on the planet and threaten to destroy your civilization.

Important: You only participate in the multiplayer if you successfully launch the rocket.

The Idea

The idea of this game is to make the player not only think about themself, but also about those who come after them. This is a direct reference to real life. Future players will not judge you by how fast or good you played, but by what you left behind. The same way future generations will judge us for what we left for them.
