Heat Up! by PanicTheFirst
Heat Up is about the ancient heat ray by Archimedes. He invented it to defend themselves from enemy ships with mirrors and sunlight.
Click on the mirrors and target the enemy ships. But beware of those with a shield. You will need to reflect the sunlight to get those.
Controls:
Left Mouse Button - Control the mirrors
Escape - Menu
Software used:
Unity
Blender
The Sounds are from

Nice game, I really like how you interpreted the theme, that's original!
Easy to control, the graphics are nice too, actually I was wondering what did you use for this low poly style?
Just two things I would point is the fact that we don't see very well the health of the ships (a bit covered by the sails), and also when the ships cross the finish line.
Good job for this entry! :)
great work!
For the models I use Blender. For the import settings in Unity I set normals to Calculate and Smoothing Angle to 0. That should give them the flat look. :)
Very well made and love the graphics.
However the movements is a bit to harsh for me. At first, it was very hard to setup mirrors as I wanted (I got better results do not moving anything at all! x))
Also, it was frustrating that small mirrors work as lasers and the big mirror is just a mirror. Maybe, you need to add "the sun" or any other visible source of light to the scene to make the game more.. realistic, I said.
Hitting the single mirror on the other side is hard though if other ships are blocking you line to it.
I like the life bars on the ships but it's hard to see on low HP, maybe they should be more bright,or hover on top of the ship model.
A bit of music would have been nice to set some atmosphere.
nice entry, well done.
Fun little game, though a bigger map with more towers or more enemy types would do a lot to improve the fun, after a while it seems like just aiming the beam at ships, which can be less fun over time.
