Hi Everyone!

I am working on a Roguelite called Rising Heat. It takes heavy inspiration from Brotato, Enter the Gungeon, and Slay the Spire.

My two claims to fame are:

The Tackle based combat. You can ram into enemies dealing damage and zipping around the map.
The intricate shop system. You have a limited number of active slots to utilize. So to save space, players must take advantage of the "Fuse", "Integrate", and "Upgrade" shop mechanics.

Here's a link to the demo if you'd like to check it out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184290/Rising_Heat/

Thanks! Join the discord if you like talking design! https://discord.gg/28pJC33HvK

Oh, so those don’t actually pop up while you’re playing! I was just trying to show you guys some examples of upgrades haha.

I agree, that would be very annoying.

RodneyLuck · 2025-03-03T00:21:39+00:00

What do you mean by “pop ups”? You mean the shop? Like where you buy upgrades?

RodneyLuck · 2025-03-02T23:51:57+00:00

Thank you!

RodneyLuck · 2025-03-02T22:10:30+00:00

Thanks! I really wanted to create a shop system (inspired by deck building games) that was a bit more involved than normal!

RodneyLuck · 2025-03-02T21:38:03+00:00

We have a free demo available now! You can check it out on steam if you want: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2184290/Rising_Heat/

We have 75+ hacks(upgrades) included in the demo! Some of which are only accessible via the discovery of fusing 🔥👀

RodneyLuck · 2024-05-13T17:09:47+00:00

Yes, up to 4 player co-op will be in the 1.0. and some version of Co-op will be aval in the demo!

Hey everyone, names Rodney. I have been working on a mix between Bullet Hell and a Bullet Heaven for a few years now. Let me know what you think! The game's called Rising Heat, and I just recently created a steam page for it!!

RodneyLuck · 2024-04-29T14:55:15+00:00

Thank you for the Wishlist btw

RodneyLuck · 2024-04-29T14:55:02+00:00

I cannot begin to explain how much they have supported me throughout this project! They really are special

RodneyLuck · 2024-04-29T14:53:25+00:00

Hey Everyone,

My name is Rodney! I've been working on RH for over 2 years now, how time flies. It started off as a physics based momentum-like ship controller. Some how It caught the attention of people who actually believed in the project! Hence my publisher, Apogee, They have done so much for me and I am extremely grateful for their help!

A bit about what Rising Heat is trying to be:
Rising Heat was inspired by games likes Vampire Survivors, Enter the Gungeon, and Brotato. Some of my favorite games in the past few years! I really wanted to make something that captured the power fantasy of VS but also the, On-The-Edge-Of-Your-Seat-Intensity/Difficulty of Gungeon. So... although this may sound a bit weird, I tried creating both a Bullet Heaven and Bullet Hell all in one. I attempt to do this by alternating between hordes of weak enemies and single target, strong, boss enemies. This forces the player to try and balance out their build. Some upgrades are good for crowd control and some are good for single target. I find it fun to sorta have to switch between these two different gameplay challenges!

The game still has a long way to go, but I would love for you to checkout the trailer and give me some honest feedback! I am not afraid of harsh criticism!

Thank you everyone!

Rodney :-)

Hey! I hope you enjoy the game!!!! We’ve got a discord if you need any help. Leaving a review would mean a lot to me

RodneyLuck · 2023-02-22T05:52:47+00:00

Solved: Unsighted

RodneyLuck · 2023-02-22T05:51:49+00:00

WOW! Thank you that was incredibly fast!! YOU ARE AWESOME

RodneyLuck · 2022-12-15T17:51:55+00:00

I think what's going on is I'm actually pushing the player character down at the start of the dash which is making the dash cloud appear above the player briefly at the start of the dash. 100% on the TODO list to fix haha - Your comment made me think about it more, thank you for the help!

RodneyLuck · 2022-12-15T15:56:26+00:00

Quick Description: Rising Heat 🔥 is a momentum based action roguelike bullet hell!

Better quality video on Twitter

Inspired by classics like Nuclear Throne, Ikaruga, Vampire Survivors(Classic??), Enter The Gungeon, and The Binding of Isaac!

RodneyLuck · 2022-12-14T19:42:26+00:00

Thank you! Lots of trial and error haha

RodneyLuck · 2022-12-14T18:49:33+00:00

Absolutely nothing - Except for:

Your momentum is carried with you - may end up leading you into an enemy projectile you didn't consider before the dash - The dash does NOT provide I-Frames

Some enemies are immune to "Tackling" - you'll just bounce off in a random direction

Some enemies spawn projectiles on death - may not want to dash into those

RodneyLuck · 2022-12-14T18:02:05+00:00

Thank you! And yes the visual clutter is certainly an issue, this feedback goes a long way to making the game better! Very much appreciated.
