Ludam Dare 42: Lava Escape by GhostReven

made by GhostReven for LD 42 (COMPO)

This is my entry for Ludum Dare 42, with the theme "Running out of space". In this game you are running and jumping away from the lava, that comes from below. If you touch the lava, you die immediately. There are also coins you can pick up on your way to the surface.

Unfortunately I could not get the HTML5 version to work with Chrome, and it has only been tested in Firefox.

Good game controls & mechanics and the music was good. The graphics could use some work and the theme wasn't that appearant in the game. Good effort though!

Nice little game. The run animation looked good. Sometimes the game seemed to freeze when I picked up a coin.

Hello @rahim-pxr. Just a little advice for the next Ludum Dare, do not go around and make the same spam comment on every entry you can find.

Hello @velocity7. I am not sure what you mean with "Rhythm isn't Lava this time?", can you maybe try and re-explain it for me?

Your game is very nice to play. The general impact is positive.
As a professional game dev I would suggest... just kidding haha
Nonetheless, if you want to work on this project more I suggest making a difficulty incresing algorithm.
Graphics - very nice. Controls are also working very well.
Maybe you could also take a glimpse at my game? I already enlarged it into a wholesome Android game :)

@eric-kulbiej You made your game about boating over swimmers, to a wholesome game?

Lovely little thing, simple and effective. I did have a crash after restarting and collecting a number of coins. Other than that it was a nice entry, would love to see it grow.

Nice job! The difficulty was very nice and I loved the music. It was fun to play as well. I get that maybe you were trying to go for that look, but I didn't care for the hand drawn text. I'm not saying the art and everything has to be perfect, but having font and art assets that look good together and easily portray what they are make games look better. Well done!

Maybe I did something wrong, but this was *way* too hard right at the very beginning.
