If you played the original prototype of Superhot, the final game is simply more of that. And, frankly, that’s all it needed to be. The game jam version’s clever use of time manipulation resulted in a fun and stylish take on first-person shooting that had a ton of potential. It was easy to see how…
Almost everyone will immediately recognize the phrase “Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires”. It’s the slogan of Smokey the Bear, the United States Forest Service’s long-time mascot designed to educate the public of the dangers of human-created wildfires.
