Thermal Runaway

The release date for Thermal Runaway is August 17, 2026, launching exclusively on PC. This casual indie puzzler challenges players to guide a hot spark across circuit boards by precisely flipping reflective switches, all while racing against the clock.

The twist lies in controlling the speed of light itself to chain high combos for particle collection, though time remains an unalterable constant. Players will need sharp reflexes and strategic thinking to avoid interferences and other sparks using teleportation and shields. This looks like a promising brain-teaser for puzzle fans seeking a fresh take on time-trial mechanics; mark your calendar.
