Heat Stroke

Heat Stroke is an unusual game that mimics the Pacman premise. The storyline is that you've carelessly left someone you care about (either a baby or a pet) in a locked car on a hot day while you go shopping. Your objective is to complete your shopping while racing against time. There's a thermometer symbol that shows the time ticking away as you attempt to gather essential products to save your loved one from heat stroke. However, things aren't straightforward, as other customers are scrambling to buy the same products.

The products that you need to save your loved one are represented by icons like cheese, mustache, hamburgers, and product. But, only one product is available on the game board at a time. To make things harder, eight other customers are also competing for the same items. If they come into contact with your character, you'll be temporarily stranded, and your time will be ticking away.

In Heat Stroke, the primary metric for performance is the number of "mustaches" you can collect. Collecting mustaches opens up the Mustache Manager, where you can customize your character's facial hair. You can select features like monocles, top hats, eyepatches, among others. Upgrading your character's mustache will take more of your time, but it's necessary to survive and win the game.

Overall, Heat Stroke is an enjoyable game that is perfect for those who love Pacman-style games. The gameplay is challenging, fast-paced, and entertaining. It's also gratifying to upgrade your character's mustache as you play through the levels. If you enjoy fast-paced, time-based games, Heat Stroke is an excellent choice to add to your collection.
