Hotshift

Hotshift Game Description

One button. Hold to rise and burn hot, let go to fall and go cold. Orange walls only pass while you burn; blue only while you are cold.

The walls stop holding still

Later levels bring switching walls: wide barriers that change colour while you are inside them. Each one wears a fuse showing exactly when it will flip, so the timing is always readable. Hold through the orange half, let go on the beat it turns blue.

Fifty levels, six tiers

Difficulty rises in tiers rather than level by level, so each new tier opens with the level that teaches its idea rather than the hardest one. Every level was checked to be beatable before it shipped. Best times are saved for each, and clearing one opens the next.

Orange walls only let you pass while you are holding and burning hot. Blue walls only while you have let go and gone cold.
