This was one of my favourites I have played so far. I would play a full game of something similar. Great submission.

I burned to death repeatedly. 10/10
Strong on theme. I was trying to defend everything at once, but the lava got to be too much.
My poor bear managed to get stuck in the ground :(
Very nice. I got stuck in a hole and burnt alive at the end though lol.
Nice one! I really liked the map that you have to dig to make lava avoid the trees
That sure was hopeless XD You nailed that theme.
I Encountered a few bug where I got stuck in the ground but other than that the game ran well.
It was fun, funny and intense. I loved the art style.
All in all a great entry!
Really love the graphics on this one. Very interesting use of the theme and fun mechanics. Great job!
Fun game. I would have liked more precision in the digging. Got stuck at the bottom of the volcano a couple of times.
This was really cool, I love how you took on the theme. Graphics look so good too! Nice work :)
The panic was real :cold_sweat: That was a really fun game! After a few play throughs it wasn't clear if the trees actually mattered or if you could just let them all die and hide safely in a corner to wrack up the points.
Very impressive entry! The premise and title are hilarious, and the gameplay is fresh and creative, even the graphics stand out as especially good. And it's a compo entry! Definitely one of my favorites this LD. Great job, be proud!
I like the graphics (particularly the lighting), and the sound effects are on point. A good sense of humor and use of the theme.
I found the game a little too easy, and some more game mechanics would have been nice.
Overall a unique and fun game.

heuuuu... help!
great style idea and execution, lots of fun choices and just enough danger to be really pressuring. Nicely done!
This is such a great concept! If you can make it more fun and add game juice this could be a hit. Maybe it would work even better in 2D? Nice job!
Mmmmmmm, that's good futility!
Actually, though, quite a nice mix of absolute chaos (since sooner or later one of those hot boulders is going to land in a bunch of trees) and genuine strategy. I enjoyed being able to try and carve out a channel for the lava somewhere it would minimise the damage. Being able to dig a big hollow in one area and then direct the flow into it was quite satisfying, and always made for an interesting trade-off between making the hollow as big as possible and getting the lava into it as soon as possible. Plus the game looks and sounds great! There's actually not very much I'd like to see done differently here - I've given it high ratings across the board. Lovely stuff!
