Hey thanks for the feed comment! My friends and I had quite the laugh when I implemented all their screams for the villager deaths. I wanted it to be so ridiculous that it didn't feel super frustrating when losing a level because maybe I went a little overboard with the amount of lava...
In earlier prototypes of the game I actually had the villagers walk back off the platform but It made for a lot of waiting/frustration and I decided to scrap it. But thank you for the feedback!
