MELT DOWN - Next Fest demo playtest

MELT DOWN is a slime racing game where you are on a clock to reach the finish line. You are melting and losing weight, and you have to finish the race before you turn into a puddle. The lighter you get, the faster you go. Race three rival slimes across a cup of four tracks, three laps each, and use the powers you pick up on the road against them.

This is the demo we are taking to Steam Next Fest in October 2026, and we want to know what a brand new player makes of it.

Windows and Linux. Download the build below and unzip it. Open the Windows or Linux folder for your computer (the README inside explains both):
- Windows: run meltdown.exe. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info", then "Run anyway". The game is not signed yet.
- Linux: run ./meltdown.x86_64 (if it will not start, run chmod +x meltdown.x86_64 first).
