Tropical Heat is a Biofeedback-enabled Jet Ski game

Escape to
the Tropics

What’s more relaxing: Vacationing in a tropical island paradise or playing a biofeedback game? Most often sitting at the computer is not as relaxing as basking in the warm sun with a cold drink — but with Tropical Heat Jet Ski Racing, an incredible new game experience from Somatic Vision, you get the best of both.

   What's this?


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 learn to 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 in the zone.”

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!

Jet Ski Trick

Tropical Heat lets you enjoy a pleasure cruise or surf 20-feet waves

Get big air off of waves and ramps. Then perform amazing Jet Ski stunts: Pull off a handstand, Superman, roll, or flip in the air!

— or —

Choose leisurely enjoyment — the stunning sunsets, refreshing tropical rain, and Luau-style nightlife.

Choose Auto-Steer mode to relax even more. (Auto-Steer has a “Tricks Only” option so you can do fun Jet Ski tricks without even having to steer.)
