  • I love the movement! Just my style of preferred game. Having said that, the first level is absurdly hard compared to level 2. A tutorial level could be cool- also level 3 was too glitchy to finish (wouldn't scroll or my character would freeze and stop moving all together) Fun to play regardless! Keep making stuff :D

You can get a head start on any of the levels by holding one of the movement keys (A or D) when you die. The lava doesn't start moving even if you jump so you can get pretty far in the levels before the lava starts moving.

Fun little platformer with a lot of heart. I like the idea of objectives that extend the time alive before lava spreads and gets you. Level 1 was tough and felt requiring a mid screen shift jump was a bit unfair for a level 1. I think level 3 should have swapped with level 1. I like wall jumping

It's an interesting concept that plays well to the spreading theme of lava.

Here are my notes I jotted down while playing:

  • Very difficult
  • Not a fan of total restart when dying on a level back to level 1
  • Lava glitched out sometimes and wouldn't spawn until later
  • lvl2 instantly punish players. Spawning into it sometimes, the lava would just kill me the moment I got into the level.
  • I can't really figure out the wall mechanics easily
  • j+k is an odd combination. Used to shift+space

Looking forward to the future if you continue beyond the jam.

another game with Meltdown in the name :D.

it was fun but I couldn't get further than level 3 because the lava would "spawn kill" me

anyways good luck

J for Jump, it took me a while...


Too hard for me to get going, lava seems way too quick for beginners anyways...

Looks great! Unfortunately, maybe I'm stupid but I couldn't figure out how to jump... the usual keys didn't seem to do anything? Nice effort though!
