The Lava is Floor
Note: The downloadable version runs better than the browser version, if you experience issues try downloading the game. There is also a common issue with Godot 4.X builds not running on Firefox or other browsers. If this is the case for you and you do not want to download the executable, try this fix.
The Lava is Floor is a difficult action platformer with 15 short levels created during the GMTK 2023 Game Jam for the theme: Reversed Roles. Swim and jump as a small lava creature through a hot world filled with numerous dangers like solid floors and spikey dead fish!
Controls:
WASD, D-Pad, Left Stick - Move
Spacebar, X(PS4), A(Xbox) - Confirm
the last heat wave
the temperatures climbed high enough
to ride that heat wave straight to hell
on the boards we bashed our heads in for,
spilling the last precious drops,
just for them to burn our feet.
there's nothing left of them now, or of us. only heat.

This gives me nostalgia for a very specific time, a very specific company: Nitrome.
Hey man, this was kinda awesome, I do have one thing tho, after finishing the last level I was kinda sad to find out there's nothing to see after? A tiny endcard would have been nice :)
Hey there! Totally agree, we should’ve at least put in a short message… I’d like to blame it on time being tight towards the end, but tbh it probably wouldn’t have taken long. I’ll make sure we don’t forget next time!
Thanks for playing! <3
gostei bastante da ideia
Cool idea and nice look and feel. I feel the heat :)
Excellent work! Very frustrating! Needs a music volume slider tho... And i dont have a gamepad controller, what about mouse controls!
On PC, you can also use WASD to move.
As for a volume slider, there simply wasn’t any time left to implement one ^^;
really fun and theres good speedrun potential
Nice idea, nice graphics, good gamefeel, I love it!
Maybe the difficulty curve needs a little more attention, but otherwise it's very cool!
have you enabled SharedArrayBuffer use in the itch embed settings? its something you specifically have to do as its marked experimental
Can't play the web version, here's the error:
The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing:
Cross Origin Isolation - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
SharedArrayBuffer - Check web server configuration (send correct headers)
Hey, the project doesn't seem to run on the web
Hey! What browser are you using? Godot 4.0 uses SharedArrayBuffer which is not supported by every browser yet. If you cannot get it to work in any browser, you can download the .zip file that contains an executable version for Windows!
