Novmei is the ninth character in Heat and Run! We have waited patiently before introducing this second tanky heroine! The double-edged nature of Novmei's ability poses a significant strategic challenge for players, as each use of the blocks must be carefully measured. And it's no exaggeration; if Novmei's mana drops to 0, she will be unable to build blocks for five seconds. A true ordeal in Heat and Run!
Novmeí’s mana absorbs 90% of damage taken.
When her mana drops to 0, Novmeí is Silenced for 5 seconds, and doesn’t regenerate mana until the effect ends.
Novmeì is a live legend. The Thaumaturgist was born with rune-sculpted skin. It's only when the war broke that the island uncovers her power, hidden by her peers until then: Novmeì is immune to pain and leaves to fight for the Kingdom.

It's been a year since Heat and Run was released in early access!
Four major updates have been implemented since its release, and a fifth one is coming in November: a new character that some of you may have encountered during the alpha!
Despite the low number of players logging in, we continue to update the game for several reasons, but we'll have to slow down the pace soon. The studio currently consists of just two people, and we can't sustain ourselves solely from Heat and Run's revenue.
We've been working for other companies for the past few months and are currently preparing a second production. All we can tell you for now is that it will be a solo 3D game.
The updates in 2024 may be less frequent, but we'll always strive to add more content!
