HOT SEAT DELIVERY 

You are a wooden chair working as a waiter in a burning kitchen. Catch flaming cups and deliver them to the right hole. Don't let the heat bar reach 100% – or you'll burn to ashes!

ABOUT THE GAME

Hot Seat Delivery is a fast-paced arcade survival game developed for the Gwueble Jam 2026.

You control a wooden chair working as a waiter in a chaotic kitchen. Flaming coffee cups fall from the ceiling, and you must catch them and deliver them to the lit hole on the counter. Every delivery gives you a coin to buy permanent upgrades. But be careful: holding a cup makes your Heat Bar rise. If it reaches 100%, you enter PANIC MODE,  the screen shakes, you move slower, and you have only 10 seconds to deliver the cup. Fail, and you BURN TO ASHES.

How long can you survive?

Slow Burn & Chair

This game was built around the Gwueble Jam 2026 themes: Slow Burn and Chair.

Slow Burn: The tension doesn't come from a 1-second timer. It grows slowly through the Heat Bar, smoke particles that appear over time, and the mechanic of losing coins when you miss. The difficulty escalates gradually across 4 phases, creating a growing sense of anxiety.

Chair: You play as a literal wooden chair working as a waiter. The chair has unique animations (idle, walk, jump) and even burns to ashes when you lose. The game is built around the chair's perspective – catching cups, moving across the counter, and surviving the heat.

HOW TO PLAY

PC: Use Arrow Keys to move. Press Space to jump.

Mobile: Drag left/right to move. Tap to jump.

Objective: Catch the flaming cups and deliver them to the LIT HOLE.

Heat Bar: Increases while holding a cup. Decreases when empty.

Panic Mode: If the heat bar reaches 100%, you have 10 seconds to deliver or burn!

Upgrades: Spend coins on permanent upgrades (Speed +15%, Heat Resistance, Jump +15%).

Phases: Every 10 deliveries, the game gets harder (faster holes, more cups, screen shake).
