Lava - Don't Look Down
Climb fast. The floor is lava.
Free
The lava is rising and it will not wait. Jump from ledge to ledge, ride moving platforms and dodge falling boulders in a tiny retro climber. How high can you go?
The floor is lava. And it's rising.
Lava is a retro platformer about one thing: going up. Jump from ledge to ledge while molten rock creeps up from below, a little faster every second. Stop to think and it catches you.
SIMPLE TO PLAY
Hold the left side of the screen to run left, hold the right side to run right, tap the middle to jump. That's it. One run takes a minute or two, and "one more try" is always one tap away.
HARDER THE HIGHER YOU GO
• Ledges get narrower and the gaps get wider as you climb
• Moving platforms slide back and forth. Ride them, or time your jump
• Higher up, boulders crash down from above and roll along the ledges. A blinking arrow warns you where the next one drops
• Every 50 meters is a milestone. Beat your best to see NEW BEST!
MADE WITH CARE
• Crisp pixel art drawn entirely in code, in a warm retro palette
• Retro sound effects synthesized on the fly
• Plays full screen on iPhone and iPad, in portrait
• Pauses by itself when you leave the app
NO NONSENSE
No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No tracking. Works offline. Just you, a stack of ledges, and a lot of lava.
