About the Game

Heatchain is a fast and intense arcade game, where concentration and reactivity are essential.

The goal is to find the next glyph as quickly as possible among those present on the board.

Chain the correct glyphs, collect the bonuses, and form the longest possible chain to reach the maximum score!

With its short games, Heatchain offers a thrilling arcade experience, where every second counts to maximize your score and achieve the perfect chain.

Objective:

You have 3 minutes to achieve the highest possible score. Don't let yourself be distracted by the bonuses or the time pressure. Click quickly, avoid mistakes, and keep your chain intact.

Principles of the game:

  • Find the glyphs: Each game begins with a target glyph in the center of the interface. The player must find it on the board. Two following glyphs are also displayed to allow you to anticipate your choices.

  • Chain Fast: The faster you find glyphs, the higher your score multiplier will be, with a maximum multiplier of 15. Each glyph found is worth 10 points, multiplied by your current multiplier.

  • Fast Pace: Chain 20 glyphs in a row to trigger RUSH mode, where you will have a few seconds to maximize your score with no board movement and a multiplier boosted to 20.

RUSH Mode:

This special mode allows you to click on as many glyphs as possible for a limited period of time with a multiplier at maximum. The board will no longer move, and it is up to you to exploit this opportunity to boost your score before the mode ends.
