The 20-second pitch
Summer is here. So are sunbeams, red tape and breaking news. In HOT TAKE you defend ten sweltering locations with shutters, fans, ice and four more tactically distinct towers against the incoming heat.
Between waves, factoid headlines and absurdly believable regulations reshape every run. Survive and the Authority issues your official notice. A warm hand-drawn summer world collides with ice-cold administrative brutalism - playful, warm-hearted and never at the expense of real people or climate science.
