Heat Signature

Heat Signature is a game from the developers of Gunpoint where you break into spaceships, make terrible mistakes, and think of clever ways out of them. You take a mission, fly to the target ship, sneak inside, and make clever use of your gadgets to distract, ambush and take out the crew. Features Break into spaceships!Fly your pod up to any spaceship in the galaxy and dock with its airlock to sneak inside. From there, you've got to sneak up on the crew, outshoot them in slowmo gunfights, or outthink them with clever gadgets. Take missions to steal loot, assassinate VIPs, or rescue friends. Take your time!Get out of impossible situations by pausing at any time and taking as long as you need to figure out a clever plan. You have a wide range of gadgets with clever uses, and you can switch, aim and fire them with no time pressure at all, letting you pull off ridiculously cool tricks without needing twitch skills. Liberate the galaxy!All your missions get you closer to liberating new space stations from the empires that control them, and this unlocks new gadgets to buy in your shops, and special challenge characters to play. Emergent gameplay!Use gadgets like teleporters, stealth shields and subverters to invent your own solutions to tricky situations. Galactic zoom!Zoom smoothly from a view of the whole galaxy down to your character sneaking up on guards inside the spaceship you're boarding. Choose your difficulty!You choose each mission, ranging from trivially easy to nightmarishly hard. There's also a practice mode where you can try items and tactics with no consequences and instant-restart Randomly generated missions!Each one picks a random combination of guard kit, ship layout, and complications like space battles. Each life is a new character!Choose between randomly generated characters with different starting kit, and when you die, play as someone new in the same galaxy. Personal missions!Every character has one grand heist to work towards: rescue their brother, steal their gun back, get revenge on their partner's killer. Modular destruction!Blow up any part of a ship with breach grenades or fuel barrels. Rip a ship in half. Get sucked into space by the vacuum. Rescue your friends' characters!If someone on your friends list gets their character captured, and they aren't able to rescue them, maybe you can! You'll sometimes get a character whose personal goal is to rescue a friend's character. If you manage it, you unlock your friend's character to play as! They don't get it back. They had their chance. It's yours now. Find your friends' items!When you retire an accomplished character, you can choose one item to pass on. You get to name it, and both your Steam friends and your own future characters have a chance to find these as loot. Equally, you'll come across items your friends have named.
