Lavagame
Lavagame drops you into a vertical scramble where the ground is literally burning beneath your feet. Each run begins calmly, but the scorching tide never stops creeping upward, forcing you to chain together hops across a shifting maze of suspended platforms. The challenge lies in reading each new layout in a split second, deciding whether to push higher or wait for a safer gap, all while the temperature climbs and your options shrink.

What is Lavagame
Lavagame is a nail-biting vertical platformer where every move matters. Keep your cool as the heat rises, or watch your run end in a sizzle.
How to Play
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move and jump between platforms. Your only goal is to stay above the lava as long as possible—so keep moving and never stop.
Tips for Playing
- Plan your next jump while you're still in the air to avoid hesitation.
- Don't rush every ledge; sometimes waiting for a better angle is safer.
- Learn the rhythm of platform movement—timing beats speed.
- Keep your jumps short and precise rather than leaping for maximum height.
- Watch for the lava's pulse; it can surge faster than you expect.
