Heat levels
Difficulty levels 1 to 5 per fair, unlocked by winning the level below on that fair.
Heat is cumulative and keeps the same fair and content: faster rows, harsher escapes, more specials, less applause, no mercy. Each level multiplies the score (x1.15 per level, x2.01 at Heat 5) and the tickets. The Heat levels page lists every change.
