About this game

Thermal Crawl is a turn-based stealth roguelike across a neon desert wasteland, where every move you make raises your heat signature and risks tipping enemy patrols, scanners, and hunters from unaware to hunting. Manage fuel and water, pop into your shell to cool down, and deploy flares to misdirect detection on the way to the oasis. Survive each level to pick an upgrade and push deeper.
