About game
Computers acting like ticking time bombs creates a chaotic scene that tests your reflexes under pressure. Overheat turns a routine hardware failure into a frantic scramble to keep your system from melting down. Your primary mission involves catching flying hardware like processors and memory sticks before they hit the ground. Every component you secure earns you points while helping maintain system stability. Dangerous debris frequently launches from the casing, forcing you to dodge these hazards to keep the heat meter under control. Progressing through the session unlocks specialized gloves that change how you manage the mounting pressure. Mastering the timing of each catch determines how long you survive as the speed ramps up. Play Overheat for free in your browser right now without any downloads required.
