VOLCANO RUSH
Do you have what it takes to get the village's sacrifice to the mouth of the volcano before the angry volcano god destroys us all? Can you avoid the lava and burning rocks that stand in your way? Find out in Volcano Rush!
Controls:
[A] Moves Backward
[D] Moves Forward
[Space] Jumps.
Tools Used:
Visual Studio, Notepad++, ZBrush, Blender, Photoshop, Audacity, FontBuilder, FL Studio.
This was created using my custom C++ game library. All bugs are totally my fault.
Feedback
I hope you have fun and if you could, please leave me some feedback, even if it’s just “hey, this sucks” or “hey, that was fun.”
Notes
Be aware that jumping might feel a bit odd. The way I implemented following the path around the mountain makes for some interesting jumps in some spots. It shouldn't take long to get used to and you might not even notice it at all. The hitboxes on the lava are a bit generous, so you can get pretty close before jumping. Keep that in mind if you are having trouble making it over the lava.
Known Bugs
There is a bug that prevents the game from loading on some computers. I've fixed at least one cause of this, which is v2 in the Itch downloads. If you get a message in the original version that says "An exception has occurred", please try v2.
There is also a bug that leaves black pixels on the screen. This seems to be on non-Nvidia cards. I uploaded v3 which should fix this issue.
Playthrough
Below is a video playthrough of the game. I highly recommend playing the game to experience it first hand, but this is here if you want it.
