Hot Lava

This game is super great! I downloaded this game because a friend recommended it to me I love it! It really is nostalgic and super addictive. However there is one or two problems that I can’t quite get past in order to actually play the game first of all in the video they make it seem so easy to jump from place to place and slide on the slime walls but really in reality it’s quite hard to jump slide and do all of the cool stuff that is done and videos. Also there are levels that just don’t make sense I don’t know if it’s a glitch but no matter what I do I can’t get to get past the meat grinder level. the wall is literally blocked off it’s impossible to reach anything and the other worlds are super cool but it’s hard to collect anything in there except for mysteries which is kind of lame. Thanks for a great game and if you could fix these problems I think it would be the best Apple Arcade game.

When I first found out about hot lava on my computer I was instantly hooked and was happy when I found out it was on the iPhone for Apple Arcade. But when you start to play the game you will notice some small issues that can get a little annoying. For one, my jump button sometimes randomly disables which can get annoying but pausing and continuing seems to fix it so it isn’t to bad. The second thing is the controls. As a game that I’m assuming was ported to the computer and with how much you can do the controls are actually really good, the only problem is that they are invisible half the time and I have to guess where to put my finger to jump instead of crouching and vice versa, but I’m sure a quick change by putting symbols or something to indicate certain features would make this easier. Other than that the controls are great and I appreciate the gyro controls since I play games like splatoon which made it feel similar to other games I play. Lastly is something small but as a 100% achievement person I’m a little annoyed about the “play on MacOS” and “play on TVOS” achievements since I don’t have those nor would buy them just for this game. All in all though this game is great and the little references to other klei games such as don’t starve and oxygen not included are awesome, keep up the great work!

When this game first came out on Apple Arcade, I deleted it same day. Unlike many on here, I don’t use a controller when I play. I use touch controls, and these were HORRIBLE! Worst I’ve ever used to be honest. Others had a very similar problem to me. I hoped that Klei, being the well-known publisher they were, would listen.And...they did! The very first controls update they gave the game DRASTICALLY improved the controls. I can now navigate complex environments with no problems. Graphically, the game sports some impressive effects. My tip would be to dim your screen a little to prevent overheating.Content wise, this game is jam packed. It feels a little bit like Fortnite, even thought they are completely different games. Doing well unlocks emotes and outfits for your character...though it is all cosmetic. How well you do is purely based on skill.You’ll see others playing while you play. You don’t actually interact or touch each other, but you can see each other. Feel free to watch people around you to spot paths you didn’t know about!Music is a complete throwback to the 90’s. This whole game is inspired by cartoons from that generation. I love every bit of it.Klei, thank you for listening to your fans about the controls. You saved a real gem by doing that. Keep up the good work!Update: Recent update made the directional pad VERY hard to use! Switch back to the floating joystick as the new one is awkwardly placed in the middle of the left side of the screen. Thank you!!
