About the Game

HIIT CRASH-LANDS ON A MYSTERIOUS PLANET, DAMAGING ITS SHIP ON IMPACT

Use abilities such as the Hookshot, Laser, and Scanner to explore the world of Zaruma and its mysterious ruins. Defeat enemies, collect Gears to progress, and find the parts needed to repair your ship and escape.

HIIT: Stranded on Zaruma is a compact, gameplay-driven experience that combines polished mechanics with a mysterious backstory, designed to be completed in just a few hours.

STORY AND WORLD

Upon arriving on Zaruma, HIIT soon discovers that the planet has been overrun by robots. As you explore, you'll find Documents to scan, revealing what happened to the planet and why the robots are here.

The world is divided into three distinct regions, each offering its own set of challenges, including combat arenas and puzzles built around environmental mechanisms and the abilities you unlock throughout the game.

BATTERY MANAGEMENT AND ABILITIES

HIIT uses its own battery to power the Laser, requiring you to carefully manage your offensive capabilities during combat. While Abilities, such as the Dash, are essential for progression, Upgrades are optional enhancements that increase your power throughout the adventure.

  • HOOKSHOT: Pull objects such as crates or grapple across the environment to reach new areas.

  • SCANNER: Hack doors and analyze objects scattered across the planet to uncover its history.

  • LASER: A powerful weapon that damages enemies and can also be used to activate mechanisms.
