Heatos – Education Game Review
Heatos is a Education/Board/Puzzle game from Max Gittel, first launched in 11th November 2015.
It’s rated 4+ and currently has 108+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Heatos Stand Out
Heatos is a logic puzzle game with an unique gameplay.
It is challenging but relaxing and not hectic.
Heatos is recommended for those who are looking for a special pastime that stands out from the crowd.
Your main task in Heatos is to remove all negative temperatures (blue) from the game field.
The following basic rules apply:
- You can mix two adjacent tiles to add up their temperatures
- However two cold temperatures cannot be mixed
- You can also move tiles to empty fields, but then they'll lose energy
It gets more tricky as soon as special tiles such as Multipliers, heat bombs or dropper are met.
Heatos can help you to improve your logic thinking and increase your sense of efficiency.
The game supports Game Center achievements and social sharing.

Community Insight:
Its a lot of fun but after only like 8 levels it becomes super hard.
It really is a great way to sharpen your mind.
This is a fun little game which becomes quite addictive.
Fantastic challenging puzzle game.
This game is fantastic! Certainly has kept our interest.
It's challenging at time but over all it's fun to play.
The game has simple mechanics but soon one discovers the game is anything but simple. Exceptionally challenging but not overly difficult. Would highly recommend this game if you like a good thinking game.
Difficult but satisfyingly puzzley game. Most of the time you'll get to the solution but you won't know how you did it. 10/10 would waste an hour again.
Personally we enjoy Atomas (by the same company) much more, but this game is still great. Visually it's beautiful, it's works perfectly, sounds great, and is very simple to understand all while still being a challenging puzzle.
We are here just for the flame :).
Challenging and enjoyable, Heatos requires you to approach levels with unconventional thinking … And then you realize it's not unconventional at all, and you've been trained to think in patterns of movement, not value.
It's hard, but satisfying when you finish a level.
This game has a really cool concept and is fun to play. It keeps you thinking as a puzzle game should. We've never seen anything like it but we would definitely recommend it.
Heatos was downloaded just be cause we had played atomas and we thoroughly enjoyed it. More of a level based game than a high score game like atomas but still 8/10.
… But quickly becomes almost impossible to enjoy. Keep working on it.
For a free app, it is amazing and definitely worth getting. Even if it was a dollar, we would get it.
Some of the levels are not that easy.
Fun game pretty challenging and we're only on level 6 LOL.
This game has been a lot of fun. Gets challenging as well. Good game.
We enjoy a game that requires thinking and this is the perfect one.
Casual game that makes us think, smooth gameplay too.
It's good but level 3-6 is impossible we've probably been trying to figure it out for 3 hours.
This game isn't hectic and actually challenges you. We recommend.
The simplicity of this app has truly revolutionized the intricate complexity and convolution of the mind, trill bringing innovation. Basically what we're trying to say is that this app is simple but so challenging! Truly unique, we praise the creator and their team.
Maybe prompt for a review a little later than 3 levels into the warmup of the game. We're liking it so far but we don't really have anything to go off of yet. We rated it early to receive a free "flame" whatever that means.
Similar to other games. But simple clean gameplay makes it a 5 s.
Heatos is an easily learned game, but difficult to master. A great brain teaser.
This game is very addicting, fun, challenging, and an amazing way to pass the time. Great game.
Sirnic does it again, this time with a game based on your ability to map path costs with some twists. Great for those who enjoy brain teasers while killing time.
We like this game a lot. It gets very challenging, and it would be nice if you could undo a move without having to start the puzzle from the beginning, but we still enjoyed playing it. The game play is relaxing, with at times frustratingly difficult puzzles, but when you solve the hard ones it's pretty gratifying. We think there are a lot of original ideas here, but with minimal instructions (which can also be frustrating). We would prefer if you could skip a puzzle and come back to it later, but we don't think it's possible; you have to solve the puzzle you're on in order to move forward to the next one. All of that said, our biggest complaint is that there aren't enough levels! We really wish the developer would add some new ones because they're fun, and also because we bought a bunch of flames and then ran out of puzzles to solve. Once you reach the last one, there's no more gameplay unless you go back over levels you've already solved, which is pretty lame. The first few puzzles of every level are really just overly-simple practice to get you acquainted with how to use newly introduced tiles. That's very helpful, but it also means that each level is really only a few boards. We'd give Heatos 5 stars if there were more levels. We'd also be willing to buy more flames, because they definitely come in handy when you want to cheat your way to the next level, and there's no point having them for levels you've already learned how to solve.
Haven't played for that long, so we can't really give a good review yet. But since they want one anyway, it runs well, even on our old 4, and it seems like a solid concept.
It's very good to brainstorming. And also fun.
Very nice design, but seams that idea is too simple.
Good gameplay, seems legit. We wouldn't waste too much time here though.
It's a good puzzle app but, we are sure we will get bored with it eventually just like all puzzle apps once you know there is really no system of rewards within the app. Increasing levels without an in game storyline is the way these apps are.. Like we said, good for killing some time waiting for things to happen.
You have to pay to keep going after awhile but it was fun the very short time it lasted.
This is a stupid game. We don't know who came up with this idea. So the next time someone comes up with a stupid idea it better not be this game ever again.
Can't even get through the warmup without having to buy something.
