You have 10 seconds to find a safe spot before the floor collapses into the lava below!

==============

My first game created with Unity!
Definitely gonna use it again, it was quite fun to make.
Only 3 levels for now, but maybe I'll do a post-compo thang.

Dude. Putting something else in the "end" room would have been great for an Easter Egg.

Nice job! I liked the lava textures. Only complaint: Auto-restart was annoying, should be "press key to restart" so I could do something else if I wanted. =)

Should've called it "Floor is lava" :D

Half-Life meets Minecraft! Not bad for your first Unity game & fits the theme well.

Unexpected title, that's nice. No audio? It's one of the best senses we have to put us into a alert state, something you want with this game.

Hmm nice idea! Nice design of levels too.

Good use of the 10 second theme. Enjoyed the game.

This is really good. Nice Idea :) More sounds would be cool ;)

That third level is a toughy :0) Good job.

The mouse wasn't locked to the center of the screen (at least for me), and the sensitivity was crazy. I guess that could be on my end though since my default sensitivity is somewhat high. Very nice spin on the whole "floor is lava" thing. I enjoyed it, but would have enjoyed it more with sound and/or music :)

Got stuck on third level but nice idea. It seems to fail on the end room so that I need to exit the app and restart to try again. Good idea though.

Nice work with the theme. Pretty good work for your first Unity game.

Nice take on The Floor Is Lava, had fun with it!

great game, couldn't beat it though :(

really terrifying to get the ground beneath your feet taken away and be thrown into lava

well done, liked it a lot

Haha, I beat it! The trick is on the last level to jump on the railing first, then run up it, and use that to jump.

The ending was pretty rad, but I feel like I should have fallen into lava!
Magdev28 Aug 2013, 00:13
This pretty cool. It's a nicely simple idea. Congrats on your first Unity game.

Interesting game, I always liked a sort of "the floor is lava" idea. The controls are a little wonky but it was still pretty easy to beat. I really liked the pixel style of the textures! A little bit of audio I think would have helped it a lot too.
mboaj28 Aug 2013, 01:44
nice ambient and atmosphere.
LegacyCrono28 Aug 2013, 03:01
Nicely done! Too bad it doesn't have audio, would make it much more enjoyable. Congrats on your first Unity game, bro! ;D
fgielow28 Aug 2013, 03:28
straight to the point when regarding the theme! levels could be a little more complex though.. but in 10 seconds that is pretty hard, though :/

Cool! Love the visual style.
loxo28 Aug 2013, 04:14
Great idea! Only audio is missing. The levels are a bit cramped for my taste.
UnixXNova28 Aug 2013, 07:28
Fun but needs music and more levels
Nick Weihs28 Aug 2013, 10:41
Fun while it lasted! I liked the END screen haha.

Pretty fun - little short though :( Would definitely be cool to see this idea taken further.

Love how you fall off into an infinite void if you try to walk towards the end.

Nice idea. Sounds would have really helped with the sense of urgency. Couldn't tell what was 'safe' so there was a bit of trial and error.

Very nice, intense game.

The puzzle is good mate! Only catch is that I'm headache as the camera makes me crazy.
matthias_zarzecki28 Aug 2013, 13:33
Nice idea!
Sergey Mohov28 Aug 2013, 15:16
Nice concept! Completed it. However, I've got a comment on level design, I think it's not sufficiently clear what objects are solid and which ones will fall. I think you could do something about their affordance. Other than that—good job.
dagothig28 Aug 2013, 18:49
Pretty neat implementation of the theme and a fairly fun concept... though sluggish controls and flickery graphics were sadly a nuisance, and the lack of levels was a bit of a downer.
Martin_Monosys28 Aug 2013, 19:02
Cool game, looking flashy and fun to play. Sound and music were sadly missed, however... That would have been perfect! :)

Short, sweet, and smooth. My favorite LD game qualities.
imef28 Aug 2013, 20:44
Maybe a bit short right now. I like the idea though so I can't wait for the post compo!
kristof28 Aug 2013, 21:01
Nice graphics! And super cool for a first game in Unity. A bit short though :)
sellsword28 Aug 2013, 21:10
Mouse sensitivy is way too high for me. I got a lot of screen tearing as well. Mouse wasn't locked to center which was strange. Was playing on my Linux box. Oh, and a way to terminate the game would be nice. I wanted to quit in the third level but had to alt-tab out and kill it. ESC to exit or something would've been nice.
Celticraft4928 Aug 2013, 21:36
I liked it. This moving your view was pretty sensitive though.

It was challenging because of the extremely difficult controls, I enjoy the graphics, it added a lot to the mood, the lava makes you stress to not fall into it, so there's definitely some immersion on there!
ntide28 Aug 2013, 23:35
I love it! Great idea.
Tainted_Code28 Aug 2013, 23:43
Was cool, although physics were a little dodgy. Also, no music D: but the idea was great and well executed!
rfgpfeiffer30 Aug 2013, 09:15
Mouse sensitivity is waaaay to high for me (on linux). The camera is just spinning around

The insane camera sensitivity spoiled it for me. Nice concept though.
Dan4 Sep 2013, 15:21
Great for a first game in Unity. A little short but that's because of the 48 hours. I found it very fun though!
fferro2345 Sep 2013, 04:57
Yaa escape the lava game. You should have imported couches or tables or other other house things to make it more like a kid was playing. Loved this game as a kid.
Jiggawatt5 Sep 2013, 14:06
"That's it?"

Also I won the last level basically by jumping at the right time.
skiesgamingtv16 Sep 2013, 21:58
Hi ! Even if the game is quite short I really liked trying it ;) Are you still thinking about making a post compo version?

Here is a gameplay video I made a few weeks ago if anyone hasn't tried this yet :
Jedi16 Sep 2013, 22:54
You sure know how to keep a game in scope! I'm super-jealous of that ability.

Congrats on your first Unity game, it was fun! :)
