I got a slow start before I knew what I was doing, and ended up spending several minutes in a tense race against the lava. The lava won.
Good stuff.
Sounds like you had the exact experience intended! The lava speeds up as you get deeper, so staying next to it (to mine out as many ores before descending) is actually a really good strategy, although it might be stressful!
Glad you liked it!
