The game  was fun ! also check out my game !

i love the isometric graphics and how the camera pans to show you the path you took, really fun

Submitted

Got a score of 6300. Pixel looks great but a little blurry ( there's probably a simple setting to fix that ) and the camera moved too fast or kept moving when stuck behind a rock. Felt like an unnecessary way to die. Otherwise it's a great game!

Developer

Hey Ash, congrats on 6300! The camera moving when stuck behind a rock was something we considered. Since time is a challenge that can be helped with potions, we wanted another challenge for the player they couldn't easily overcome. I definitely understand where you're coming from, especially when the lava speed picks up. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Very fun and looks very nice!

My only thing would be that I wasn't really sure where I was when changing blocks, like, I wasn't always too sure what block I'd jump too

Developer

Thanks for trying it out, homhom! I can see that being tough to parse because of the isometric tiles and their spacing 

Submitted

Loved this game, I think if you made it so you could only change your direction once per block it would make it more challenging :D original idea though! 

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! I can see that, we added an update where the speed of the lava flow increases over time so hopefully that adds enough of a challenge :)

Submitted

Cool game, quite simple, maybe too much. Higly addictive, maybe if you could get more time with some plants would be nice. Liked it none the less

Developer

Thanks for playing. We just updated the game so you can get some extra time by picking up potions, you should give it another try!

Submitted

Love the new idea, seems like it needs a bit of polishing but wonderful work nonetheless. The music sounds good and the concept of controling the falling lava is cool

Developer

Thank you for the comment!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this one, the art was great. Good luck with the jam!

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, good luck to you too!

Submitted

Great game it was fun but I do agree with schwarnhild that there should probably be a way to gain time because this would be incredible as one of those endless games.

Developer

Totally agree, we added this update so let us know how it runs :)

Submitted

The game is pretty and easy to pick up! I would have liked a way to get more time though (sorry in advance if there is one and I just missed it). Its the type of game that I would have liked to keep playing to see how far I can go, and the timer makes that impossible

Developer

This is a great idea! We went back and added potions to collect to increase the timer, thanks for the feedback :)

Submitted

Cute game!  Easy to pick up and play.  The lava is very pretty, too!

Developer

Thanks for the comment!

Submitted

Great Game, it reminds me of "Kid Clown in Crazy Chase"!

Developer

Thank you! I had to search up this game, very nostalgic feels :)

Submitted

This feels like the opposite of my submission where you have to DESTROY instead of SAVING, still, great game, I had a good time :)

Developer

Haha thanks for playing! Your game was really fun, too
