Staying alive as the lava rises
Tips
The moment a round starts, the floor turns to lava and it keeps climbing. Touching it knocks you out, so your only job is to stay above it. Obstacles, buildings, and trees all work as platforms — use anything you can land on.
- Look for your next landing spot before you jump, not after you leave the ground.
- Always choose a higher platform over a lower one when both are in reach.
- The lava moves at a steady pace, so hesitating too long will catch you out.
- Buildings and trees give you the most height quickly, so head for them first.
