How does the game fit the theme?
My game fits the theme "Nothing can go wrong.." by creating a high-pressure scenario where everything can go wrong at any moment. The player is constantly racing against the rising lava, and even the smallest mistake—like mistiming a jump or slipping off a platform—can lead to failure. The theme is reflected in the tension and urgency of the gameplay, where the player is always one step away from disaster. Despite their best efforts, the threat of the lava reminds them that nothing is guaranteed, and everything can go wrong in an instant.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
For this game, I used some third-party assets that are authorized for use. Specifically:
The character sprites, platform sprites, background art, and sound effects were sourced from third-party creators.
All the code, including the player movement, lava mechanics, and level design, was written by me specifically for this project.

I like the fast pace nature of this one, but the jump is very floaty and it doesn't have much fine control on it, it always jump the same height regardless of me tapping very quickly the spacebar or holding the spacebar, I think it would benefit making the jump height be based around for how long you held down the spacebar for more finetune control over your jumps.
Jumps to be kinda unforgiving if you slightly miss, like when you jump towards a platform and the character feet are a few pixels below ground level, it just blocks like a wall and you fall, some edge nudging would be nice.
I also saw that you have jump buffering and coyote time, but the coyote time is kinda OP rn because I can abuse it and still be able to use two jumps.
Pretty good job on the slopes, I know they are the vain of the existence to any game developer, they are still kinda wonky but they behave pretty good and don't make me slide and let me move up and down and jump which is all that counts. So good job on that.
Finally, this is personal suggestion, I think having a wall climb, kinda like Celeste does, could be super cool in the game.
Overall, nice game, nicely put together. If you plan on expanding this game, I can't wait to see what this game can become.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll definitely look into improving the jump and edge handling. Glad you liked the slopes! A wall climb sounds like a fun idea too. Appreciate you playing! 😊🔥
Really cool game. I would recommend using a different texture for the lava, as the current one doesn't fit the pixel art aesthetics, aswell as some work on the menus, but when it comes to gameplay, the game was pretty good
This game reminds me many of platformer games. I am one of this genre fans. The game does it job good.
Fun game! Very challenging and intense and the gameplay is created in such a way that it is very addictive and replayable.
Thanks a lot! I'm really glad you found it fun and addictive! I wanted to make something that keeps players coming back for more. Appreciate the feedback!
Great game! It was very challenging but I get that it was on purpose. The game looks great and feels good to play!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😃 I definitely wanted to make it challenging, so it's great to hear that came across well. Appreciate the feedback!
Nice cute fox you have made. I liked the gameplay and idea behind it. The lava could have been a little slower since you have a lot of horizontal jumps, but maybe it's just me being bad at it.
Please play and rate my game as well, thanks!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the fox and the gameplay! 😊 The lava speed was meant to add some tension, but I totally get what you mean. Appreciate the feedback! 🔥🦊
Nice game, the disappearing platforms suprised me a bit haha.
Well done
Thanks! Haha, the disappearing platforms are there to keep you on your toes! Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
