AC Master

How to play

• Hold the UP arrow: increase the temperature
• Hold the DOWN arrow: lower the temperature
• Try to maintain the PERFECT temperature for as long as possible

Visual clues

• Too hot: the face turns red and starts sweating
• Too cold: the face turns blue and starts shivering
• PERFECT temperature: neutral face
• Score = total number of seconds at the PERFECT temperature
• The balance becomes harder to maintain as time passes

Notes

I planned to make a similar game in last winter where a player had to maintain the perfect temperature in a kotatsu, a traditional Japanese heated table.

Unfortunately, I ran out of time.

Then, the deadly summer heat inspired me to revisit the idea from the opposite direction.

The winter version was meant to feel warm, cozy, and relaxing,
The summer version is all about survival. Can you keep the perfect balance between the scorching heat outside and the piercing cold AC inside?
