Getting Started with Tropical Heat


 

Relaxing Island Cruise Mode - How to Make Tropical Heat a Relaxing Island Vacation

Tropical Heat takes you to the island of your dreams!

  • The sparkling sea, beautiful sunsets, lush foliage, splashing dolphins, gliding birds, and warm tropical raindrops on your skin become your world.
  • Set the mood by selecting relaxing, energizing, or tropical music.
  • Be yourself, or be someone else, by customizing your Jet Ski character: Choose a man or a woman and then select your skin color, swimsuit, hair style, sunglasses and the Jet Ski of your choice.

User experiences


“Tropical Heat is very enjoyable even when first learning to smooth your heart rate. When you can stay in the low-stress zone, worlds of tricks and beauty reward you! Tropical Heat is the perfect balance of immediate fun and long-term stress control skill-building.”

“Tropical Heat has new types of feedback – like when the ocean gets calm or violent based on your internal state, and a new power bar you fill by staying calm.”


 

Not really but...


If you seem to have gotten a tan and notice better skin tone after playing Tropical Heat, you can thank your relaxation response, which floods your periphery with increased blood flow…unless of course you played Tropical Heat while on a sunny beach. In that case, please put the game away and enjoy the tropics!
