The game has an interesting idea, the frequency of the changes is maybe a bit to fast. Different levels with a difficulty curve could maybe help. Otherwise a cool polish and the game can become a frantic game of platform !

Without being able to know what keys do what the game is impossible to really play. Just showing what keys go to what when randomized would really help the game a lot and still give the intended effect.

We need to know the controls on second atleast for 1 on ui. but good job on making a game in 48 hours

The real challenge here is remembering where each key is on the keyboard haha. I like it.

Very challenging at first! I reckon a partial pausing or slowing of the lava rise whilst the new keys settle, followed by speeding it up, would make for a less frustrating but just as challenging play!

yo dude you GOTTA have some indication of when or where the movement keys go. its exceedingly difficult to play more than a few seconds of this at a time

I think the concept is cool, but you should put the current movement keys on screen. Right now it's really hard to figure out the new keys in time to keep moving up. But it's a good start!

If you have time, please check out the game I worked on for the Jam called "Foobar". Thanks!

No tutorial, and unplayable without some way of figuring out which keys the controls randomly switch between.
