Very fitting music, controls very nice aswell, I liked how the lava rises based on my speed. Sometimes it even felt like the music actually fit what was happening!

Song is very out of place lol but Its pretty good. Love how the biomes change. Good entry
the music is amazing aha, what did you use for it? The game does feel a bit repetitive quite quickly, but its nice that it loops as long as you can keep playing :) Love the aesthetics too
This really is a stress-off game, ya the AI music can be a bit too much but you dont feel the pressure since lava doesn't instantly kill you. However, after seeing all biomes it becomes a bit repetitive.I am assuming this is one of your first games from the brackeys character so good job :D
Yes this is my first game that I've built with Gadot. I've dabbled a bit with Unity and Unreal but I'm finding that Gadot is really clicking for me so I've been reading and learning more about it. I'm also still learning about game design and how to make things fun. To also keep them challenging but not frustrating which is a hard line to stay on!
Thank you for your feedback and comments!
AMAZING visuals, gameplay was fun too. But the AI generated music was shitty tho
Thanks for the feedback! I don't have a ton of shader experience so that's on my list of goals to play around with more so I can get better looking graphics. The lava kinda reminded me of JellO haha. I also wanted to spend more time on level design so it didn't seem as reptitive and wanted to add things like powerups or moving obstacles but time got the best of me.
Thanks again for your feedback!
fun gameplay, love how the lava waves but i think it would be better if it dealt damage faster but idk
I see you came straight from Brackeys tutorial XD, The game is fun. I think the lava should kill you faster but other than that the game is cool. Oh and nice music you got there XD
Fun game! I loved the lava shader and it is nice that it doesnt instantly kill you. My only complaint is the music doesnt really fit with the game.
I think the lava should have killed faster but it was very fun. The music was quite funny I wasn't expecting it. Good though.
I agree about the lava not instantly killing you! It was a bit unexpected but not in a bad way :D I don’t think the background music fits the game at all to be honest :/ Nice touch to let the player rebind keys though!
I tried it for fun, but the default was better :D. Still think it’s important to try out these kind of things in game jams to see what works and what doesn’t. I made a small tutorial level for my game which was probably a stupid idea since the gameplay is fairly straight forward and I’ve been told that most people will skip it. But I always wanted to make one so I thought I’d still try!
I thought the lava was going to be instant kill. Pretty cool game. I think it could use some SFX but I understand, I also ran out of time and couldn’t include any in mine :|
Fun game, I like how instead of killing you instantly, the lava takes a bit of time to kill you. That way there’s a really good element of panic when you fall deep into the lava and only have so much time to make it out, well done!
