Can You Out Run It?
How to Play
Outrun the lava for as long as you can, see how high you can reach!
Its inevitable that the lava will catch you!
Your jetpack only has a small amount of charge so you must land or collect jerry cans to recharge.
Controls
S/D or Left/Right Arrow keys to move
Hold W, Up Arrow or Space to Fly

You´ve created a cute little Game. The concept is not inovative, but it works and it fits the theme.
The Graphics are fine and have a unique look. I like them.
For my taste it's a bit to difficult. But maybe I am just a Bad Player.
But overall I enjoyed your Game.
with best regards

Game looks beautiful!
Might want to give the controls. The arrow keys are pretty clear but I had to figure out on my own that you can hit escape to change difficulties.
I never thought of starting the lava after a button press but that is actually a really good idea I will make sure to do that!
I will try to think of adding a way to make the landing recharge a bit more obvious to new players as I agree it is not the most intuitive thing in the world.
About the world generation I agree with you that I like learning the map so I think a way to make more replayability at the same time would be to choose to generate the map whenever you play not every time you restart so you could master the map you played!
Yeah the music was definitely a weak point of mine, it was my first time trying to make a track so I just got something semi passable out lol! Thankyou so much for the feedback gives me a lot to think about!
I think as @wuppos, that a first player input would be better to start the lava, otherwise if you do nothing you die in a loop.
The music and sounds are nice, really good game!
Also I think I'm your 20th rating, congratulations!
Really good job!
@raphiell Yeah it was my first time doing music I agree lol, Im glad you enjoyed the rest of it thanks for playing!
Beating hard mode had my heart racing.
Moving sideways did feel a little sluggiest.
