OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS. If I make a post-jam version I will add this if that's okay with you (along with any other updates I think are good).

The lava speed (technically it should be called magma but I wrote lava in the code lol) is one thing I found really hard to balance. It's definitely too nonthreatening as it is, but making it faster often made levels too difficult in the start. I tried making it speed up if it's sufficiently far away from you, but this messed up some of the levels.

Can I see the updated project file? I'm really curious lol

Sure! Feel free to use it for a post-jam version, it would be an honour!

The lava isn't that threatening indeed except at the start of the level. That's what I tried to change for the most part. Here's a link of all the changes I made:

There is a sheet for lava_speed and a folder containing a few slightly changed sprites.

Thanks. I REALLY like your updated volcano graphic. The sprite color changes do look good but I was trying to stick with NES palette (not sure if you were too but it doesn't line up with the specific NES palette I was using, the one in the sprites folder).

I'd have to do some testing on lava speed, though it will be a while before I feel like working on this game again, if at all. If I come back to it I will test your speeds and maybe find a compromise (like making it speed up after a certain delay).

I might use your title screen as the new icon for the game if that's okay (I would credit you of course). I think it's way cooler and more eye-catching than the current one which I threw together in like 10 minutes.

I tried to stick to NES colours but maybe the palette I used was wrong haha.I admit I cheated for the platforms and spikes, I used invalid colours.

I'm glad you liked my title screen/volcano. You can use them of course, but don't feel pressured or anything right. It's ok if you don't make a post-jam version. I just got carried away one afternoon lol.

Oh yeah I'm curious, what does the writing on your title screen literally say? I can't read Japanese but I figured out the blue part means ninja lol

The red part is for volca (borukê) and blue indeed is ninja :D
