Use of the limitation
I incorporated the limitation by designing the game so that the single tap action both controls the glider's ascent and descent, balancing heat management and flight.

Cool concept, however I found myself stuck in a certain part where it seems impossible not to overheat. The presentation is pretty cool too, I think the background fits really well.
Thank you for your feedback! I'll look into balancing the heat mechanics to avoid getting stuck and I'm glad you liked the presentation.
Good job!
The gameplay actually works as you can easily control the glider. I would have preferred something more related to the gravity, letting the glider to rise when you're holding the key and fall when you release it. The distribution of the shade zones could be improved as sometimes I wasn't able to reach them before I exploded. The explosion sound scared me the first time haha. You could have used the coins to help the player drive the glider and reach the shade zones better. Visually your game is consistent and everything on screen is well defined, so that's something I appreciate. This was a nice entry c:
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll consider improving the shade zone distribution and incorporating your suggestions on glider control. I'm glad you found the visuals consistent and enjoyed the game.
