Pretty fun little game. The steering controls takes a while to get used to ... After that though, and once you figure out that running the creatures and the yellow blocks increased my fuel, it became a lot easier. Though, after hitting around 300m-400m, it starts getting a little tedious as the procedural generation starts running its course... And once you hit 1000m, you start questioning your life choices...
With that being said, anyone else able to beat my high score of 1012.9M? I only stopped playing because my wrist started to cramp up.

This has to be the funniest comment I’ve ever seen! haha First of all, thanks! I’m really glad you liked the game!
Now, you’re definitely right! The number of “chunks” that we’ve worked on was very limited, and the speed of the lava is just too low compared with the speed of the player when the player already knows how to fly effectively. We planned on increasing the speed of the lava periodically, but after some build related issues, and the submission deadline getting closer and closer, we completely forgot! :(
In any case, we already have some things planned to fix some of these issues after the gamejam ends, so I hope you’ll look forward to those!
My friend’s high score is 1334.7m and, as you can see, the lava isn’t even near at that point.
Haha! Yeah, I was also at a point where I was solidly above the lava that it wasn't even on the meter. I was just too slow taking the capture, lol.
But yeah, good job with this game! Definitely would have been nice to have the lava rate increase, but alas! That is how the game jam do.
Oh, I also wanted to say, I thought the animations in the game were really clean. The way the helmet turned into the rocket was a really nice touch. I would say this was one of the best use of a chicken so far.
