Lavarena by CrackedP0t

[raw]
made by CrackedP0t for LD29 (COMPO)
You are an innocent miner that has fallen into a cave.
Also in the cave are lava monsters!
They resent the intrusion into their privacy, and, as such, are trying to kill you.
You can knock them back with your pickaxe, but in order to damage them, you must get them into the lava holes.
Embedded in their bodies are gems that you can use in various ways to improve your abilities.
"Health" gives you 2 hp per gem
"Damage" improves your knockback
"Defense" reduces damage from lava but not the monsters.
Last as long as you can!

Your dropbox link isn't working right now, maybe there's something amiss?

Pretty simple, a good challenge. Didn't hear any audio... wasn't sure if there was supposed to be any?

Cool battles. Could make it easier to kill enemies but have more of them. Overall, good! :)

Cool game, an outstanding bug that I found is that if you have enough defense, you can heal by running into the fire! I managed to get to stage 8

Nice and challenging game, sad that monster knockback can get you out of bounds without a way to come back in the center arena.
Aloso would have beeen great with a bit of sound and music.
I still enjoyed playing to level 8.

I love the upgrade mechanic but the game has no in-game instructions so was confused at first. I didn't know on what to dig or what to do. Game is too hard! Good job :)

I got pretty far once I figured out the strategy. Don't try to knock them into the lava. Instead knock them away and stand behind a lava pit and let them run into it.
