Hot lava is a great game but could be better

When I first found out about hot lava on my computer I was instantly hooked and was happy when I found out it was on the iPhone for Apple Arcade. But when you start to play the game you will notice some small issues that can get a little annoying. For one, my jump button sometimes randomly disables which can get annoying but pausing and continuing seems to fix it so it isn’t to bad. The second thing is the controls. As a game that I’m assuming was ported to the computer and with how much you can do the controls are actually really good, the only problem is that they are invisible half the time and I have to guess where to put my finger to jump instead of crouching and vice versa, but I’m sure a quick change by putting symbols or something to indicate certain features would make this easier. Other than that the controls are great and I appreciate the gyro controls since I play games like splatoon which made it feel similar to other games I play. Lastly is something small but as a 100% achievement person I’m a little annoyed about the “play on MacOS” and “play on TVOS” achievements since I don’t have those nor would buy them just for this game. All in all though this game is great and the little references to other klei games such as don’t starve and oxygen not included are awesome, keep up the great work!

Great game but a few problems

This game is super great! I downloaded this game because a friend recommended it to me I love it! It really is nostalgic and super addictive. However there is one or two problems that I can’t quite get past in order to actually play the game first of all in the video they make it seem so easy to jump from place to place and slide on the slime walls but really in reality it’s quite hard to jump slide and do all of the cool stuff that is done and videos. Also there are levels that just don’t make sense I don’t know if it’s a glitch but no matter what I do I can’t get to get past the meat grinder level. the wall is literally blocked off it’s impossible to reach anything and the other worlds are super cool but it’s hard to collect anything in there except for mysteries which is kind of lame. Thanks for a great game and if you could fix these problems I think it would be the best Apple Arcade game.

Who didn't play "the floor is lava" as a kid?! It's about time someone made a game based off that and this one doesn't disappoint. It adds an interesting twist where instead of being a human being, you're playing as an action figure, which adds an neat twist and doesn't distract from the gameplay. This also allows for some fun character personalization (I don't care for that but I know many folks do.) I've only found two main things that are not ideal- this game would be much better played on a platform with a paddle, like PlayStation or Xbox. It's pretty difficult and complicated for the phone - but they do a great job with it's overall playability! Second, the game demands so much of your phone that my iPhone 7 gets pretty hot while operating this game. I suggest turning off haptics and keeping sounds down. I again have to take my phone or if it's car. Overall great game!

OK, so is everybody knows this game is absolutely great. I am absolutely addicted to it but when I get onto the other levels, I began to notice something… what I noticed was that the creator of the game was actually being a little bit lazy, and wasn’t adding more details like they did in the first few levels, which was very sad, because in the other levels you weren’t able to grab stuff and it wasn’t that detailed like the first few ones so developer if you’re reading this, please take your time when creating courses because if it’s not that detailed as it used to be then it’s gonna be sad because it’s not that detailed and it has a sharp edges on other levels and you can’t really grab any stuff unless it’s an energy drink soda Best Regards, Emma Abreu
